Sony Computer Entertainment America has begun the beta invite process for their upcoming Home software, announced at GDC and due to launch later this year. PlayStation Underground members have been contacting Kotaku to let us know that invitations to sign up for the 3D networked community meeting space are on their way out.

According to the invite, "Home is ramping up for its debut, and we're inviting you to sign up for a very special beta test. Space is extremely limited." SCEA warns that "Not everyone who signs up will be accepted" but if you are, they'll notify you via e-mail.

Now, off I go to frantically refresh my Gmail inbox while I wait for my invite.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in, but know that Kevin U. beat you all to the punch. Michael McWhertor
