Sony will open its Home to guests this summer, the consumer electronics giant has said. No, we're not talking some tedious Hello-esque celebrity fawn-a-thon, but the Second Life-style alternative world for the PS3.

Home is currently in pre-release testing. At the moment, only Sony insiders are getting a look-in, but the beta testing programme will be opened to the public in the summer.

Sony Home for the PS3

Fancy a go? You'll need a PlayStation 3 that's connected to the internet, of course, and you'll need to have registered your interest at www.homebetatrial.com [1]. Sony's not yet inviting folk to register, so you'll need to keep an eye on the site.
