Home nears public beta

Everything on course, we're told

Sony's PSN-tastic Home social-networking 'thing' is nearing public beta, we hear today, Sony Worldwide Studios apparently working hard to get the game ready for the gaming masses.

Quoted by Videogamer, vice president Jamie MacDonald revealed that everything is on course for the wider test at the Gamer 3.0 conference in London.

"At Tokyo Game Show it was announced that PlayStation Home will be hitting what we’re calling an open beta by the end of the year, which means it will be available to everybody," MacDonald assured.

"And the latest is, it’s going very well. The guys are madly working to make sure that date is hit, and it’s going very well."

More Home soon, we hope.
