Home was revealed at the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) last month, and at that time Sony said it would be opening up a select beta in April. Last night, select Playstation members received an e-mail that read, "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."
The closed beta is limited to 15,000 users, according to earlier statements from Sony. The e-mail does not even guarantee acceptance to the program.
