An open beta of Home, Sony’s rival to the Xbox New Experience (and Nintendo’s Miis), will be available in the “coming weeks”, available to all PS3 owners. In an official post on Sony’s Home forum, Home’s community manager “TedTheDog” has said that the plan is to ramp up numbers in the current closed beta rapidly to “load test” the system, including adding European language testers. Once load testing is complete, Sony will move to an open beta.

With the Open Beta still weeks away, one must wonder when the actual service will turn gold?
As of right now, although it still has a chance for 2008, I wouldn't be surprised if it got pushed to 2009.
