Home open beta in the next 10 days, says The Times

The Times Online’s run a piece saying Home’s open beta is to release in the next ten days, or before December 17.

SCEE’s constantly said open beta will hit this year, so there’s likely to be truth in this.

We’re checking with Sony now.

Rumour: Home v1.0 to enter closed beta on November 20

Whoops. If this Tawkn post is to be believed, a poster on the Home beta forums has just dropped a ton of information on the next phase of the app’s roll-out, including a November 20 date for the introduction of the v1.0 client – the launch software, basically – to the beta servers.

The post says that new servers will be coming online in the “next week or so” and that two new waves of beta invites are about to bring a “huge” number of people into the test to stress v1.0.

“Open beta will be here when it’s here,” says the post.

See for yourself.

Home open beta rumoured for March 24 launch in Japan

According to this, rumours are afoot that the Home open beta is to begin in Japan on March 24. The date had previously been pinned as March 20. Obviously, there’s no official word from Sony on when the great unwashed are going to be allowed into the PS3 online “space”, but at least it’s starting to sound like things are happening sooner rather than later.

Really need to buy a PS3 now. Must have virtual flat.
