Home beta welcoming another 100,000 testers


We would tell you all about PlayStation Home version 1.0, but then we'd have to kill ... ourselves. (Wow, that was dark.) Fortunately, no harm will likely befall us, since you might just find out everything for yourself soon enough. Sony has announced that 100,000 more invites to the beta are now going out (although an impish email server may delay them for European readers).

Sony itself has officially revealed some features of the new client. Like the fact that the in-Home navigation tool is no longer a virtual PSP – it's been replaced by a PDA-like "Menu Pad." Oh, and it has added Clubs, which allow for up to 32 members to gather in a private Clubhouse space, complete with an editable bulletin board. Plans call for the open beta – the one everyone can get into – to feature "premium" for-pay Clubhouses. Perhaps they'll be specially themed? We'd put down a few for Kratos' throne room from God of War.
