Here is what I suspect might have happened. Sony were not sure about issues like load balancing and basically suddenly 1000's using an untried service. When the closed Beta went into full swing, it was probably more an exercise in testing the server stress. I suspect Sony found maybe better (beta? lol) results than expected and thought to themselves that they could make Beta go open.
Who knows. I was in closed Beta for just a week and I got the feeling I was seeing a solid framework for cool things to come. In that respect, I thought it was maybe a few months away before the actual amount of content seemed sufficient. But now I think it was just for Sony to do proper stress testing.
I wonder if the "open" beta will suddenly have a fair bit more content? Will be interesting.
