Don't be discouraged, I went to the same link and it also tells me I'm not participating in any beta programs. lol
 
Nothing here yet... how recent are the emails - is there a chance that it could show up in the next couple of hours still?
 
Desperation mode setting in... :lol

What time did people get their acceptance e-mails? Just wondering if they were all sent at the same time or if it's a gradual thing.

hey
just as a larf

lets count

how many of you guys subscribed to Qore?

Cause the 3 guys i know who got in, including me, .. subscribe and also have downloaded more than a few games from the PSN and use their PS3 a moderate to large amount

now, i know just like the Publishers Clearing House ur not supposed to have to subscribe to be able to win..but im fairly sure the Qore subscribers names go on a list somewhere in Sony;s computers that may put our names ahead somewhat in consideration..


what you guys say.. how many of you buy qore or subscribe? lets just see for fun

Your theory fails.

I have a Qore Subscription and well over $200 worth of stuff downloaded from the PSN Store.

Calling All Cars (Day 1)
Echochrome
Super Star Dust + expansions
Blast Factor + multiplayer expansion
Warhawk + All 3 expansions
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
Pain
Everyday Shooter
The Last Guy
Bionic Commando
Pixel Junk Monsters
Pixel Junk Eden
Flow + expansion

Plus I download stuff from the Video Store weekly and Singstar Tracks.
 
I checked my email and did not get in...however...

I remembered that I changed my email after getting the theme. So I checked my old email...AND THERE IT WAS!

After going through Gustav this is such great news :D

I have'nt been this excited in quite some time! D/L now. I hope I can find my old headset if not I guess I'll use the texting system :lol

i received the Home Beta 0.98 invite earlier this afternoon (Toronto, Canada) and have been exploring Home about about an hour now. it's quite nice!

and, for the record, i downloaded the Home theme and purchased a year subscription to Qore weeks ago.
 
Nothing for me 8*(

Launch PS3 user that buys like 95% of PSN games. I have really bad luck with beta sign-ups. I'm like 0 for 25 in beta sign ups.

I got into HOME today but I'm usually in the same boat as you. I can't even remember the last Beta I got into.
 
Guys I'm in! And first message on GAF. :D

Received my email a couple of hours ago.

PSN member since day one (japanese PS3 launch), lot of activity, lots of money spent, Qore subscriber, PlayStation Underground member ecc...

looks like each week they will send out invites:

"Thank you for writing us.

On Thursday, August 28, 2008, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) will begin an Expanded
PlayStation(R)Home Beta. SCEA will be adding users weekly (starting 8/28/08 and continue up to the start of the Open PlayStation(R)Home Beta.

Besides new users, the Expanded PlayStation(R)Home Beta will include a new Home Central Plaza, and other core spaces including a new Home Theatre, the existing Game Space and the Mall.

Same here. I guess we do have to subscribe to qore.
 
I got in. I subscribe to QORE and have a couple of PSN games. Its probably random though.

Created my guy, now i am wandering around, waiting for the spaces to download...zzzzz....
 
GAP for 5+ years, registered every Sony console to date, registered a decent amount of games, linked my PSN account, bought a crap-ton of PSN games, play PS3 all the time.. and still no invite.

Sony can shove Home up their ass.
 
In the email, it states to go to a site to give feedback, but when I click it, it says " I am not in any beta programs". Is this normal?

Same here. I just don't get it, I got into Warhawk but my luck with Home has been shitty so far and I'm a damn Qore subscriber as well.

Crap, I just realized I never linked my PSN account to my playstation site account...

Same here, I just finished doing that... I also hadn't kept my library up to date, I'm now up to 30 games.. Hopefully that's a factor.

don't worry. If this gametrailers video interview is any indication your not missing out on anything right now. I really hope they at least get the Trophy room in. If not I can see a lot of people hating on Home when its released.

Me too. I'm really hit and miss with Sony betas. Been in quite a few, but always seem to miss the ones I'm half interested in.

Anyone in Canada get in ?

I'm wondering if this US only or us Canucks are in the running as well.

I don't know about the current wave, but I've been in since May 2007 and from Canada as well.
 
The code they sent you is only valid by using the PSN account they sent it to? I use a different account now...

Same thing here. I have my underground and PSN accounts linked and it says I am not in any betas. At the same time Home beta is sitting here running on my PS3. Well played Sony!
 
I was wondering why I wasn't receiving any mail from Sony for the last 2 weeks, went on the official site and logged in. Found out they been having problems with sending shit to my email address. Goddamnit. :lol
 
Got my invite.

Hooray!

edit: No way to know why I got in. I'm RLS, GAP, QORE, bought a bunch of PSN stuff, played a few online games (but not ALL that much), Downloaded the Home theme, etc. It could be anything.

edit2: Here's the text of the email, for anyone who was curious:

Seems like this is a way for Sony to push their Qhore Propaganda that continually degrades the quality of their online experience and subjects us all to the tyranny of the big media moguls.

Boycott this. Free Tibet, independence for Team ICO.
