Though not directly related to Steam we thought this would be an interesting post for you PS3 owners out there. Sony is now inviting gamers to the new Playstation Home program, while it's still in a beta stage. In a post on the PlayStation blog today, PlayStation Home director Jack Buser confirmed that Sony will be expanding the closed beta test of its PlayStation 3 online service starting at the end of the month.

Later today, the PLAYSTATION Store will be updated with a PlayStation Home theme. By downloading the theme, users are submitting an application to join the PlayStation Home Beta test community. We will be using a variety of criteria including activity on the PLAYSTATION Network to determine eligibility for the Beta community. Existing beta testers have automatically qualified to be part of the expanded beta.

In Europe, SCEE is also beginning their expanded closed beta, directly targeting consumers who have been most active on PLAYSTATION Network and PLAYSTATION Store. SCEE will be in email contact with their PSN audience very shortly.
