My efforts to pin down an exact source for this have met with little success, but it’s worth noting that many PS3 forums are alive with persons who claim to have received an email invitation to participate in the OPEN beta for Playstation Home on the PS3. This final phase of the roll out for this highly-anticipated Second Life-ish time suck is reported to be set for April 18th.For those a little late to the game, Home represents a social experience that allows players to customize their own online habitat by creating a home for their virtual selves. The experience will be tied to several currently menu-driven interfaces within PSN, but also offers some really interesting possibilities for gamers.
Overall, the concept is to give PSN users a living and breathing community that delivers a social experience that rivals, or exceeds the popular (though rather plain-looking) Xbox Live.
I’d like to hear some feedback from both the folks who have participated in the closed beta, and those on the outside looking in at Home.
Please share your thoughts on these questions.

Please share your thoughts on these questions.
1.Does Home, as a concept interest you, and why?
2.Do you think something like Home would hold your interest beyond the initial roll out?
3.Would you be willing to PAY for Home (monthly)? What about for add-ons and accessories to pimp out your virtual crib?
4.Is it fair to call Home a Second-life knockoff?
5.What challenges do you think Sony is facing or will face as Home goes public?
