When Phil Harrison publicly revealed the PLAYSTATION 3 service Home yesterday, he hinted at an April timeframe for a public beta test. Phil actually pronounces it "bee-tah" which is just cheek-pinchingly precious.

Today, the site for that beta has gone live, but contains little useful info. In fact, I'll save you the unnecessary click. This is really all it has to say.

Home is a real-time 3D, networked community that serves as a meeting place for PLAYSTATION 3 users from around the world, where they can interact, communicate, join online games, shop, share content and even build their own personal spaces. Home will be available as a free download from the PLAYSTATION Store and will launch directly from the PS3 system's Home Menu.

Keep checking back on this site to register an interest in taking part in an exclusive closed Beta Trial of Home.

In other words, watch this space. We'll update with plenty of exclamation points when public beta registration goes live. Michael McWhertor
