According to a reliable source, SCEE will be holding an invite-only media event in London on Tuesday, May 6th 2008. Unfortunately, we do not have exact details of where and when the event will be taking place but our source did say "many of your questions will be answered at that event, so keep an eye on the games press the following day." SCEE will release a number of press releases after the event, and the event itself can be streamed live from the Virtual Press Office. We speculate that SCEE will reveal the release schedule for PlayStation Home at the event and possible details about other upcoming titles.

We will update this article once we have more information on when the event will take place. We cannot reveal our source so it is likely some of you may not believe this story.

"It would be great if you could clear up a few details. A approximate release date for PlayStation Home would be great. Any idea when the open beta will begin or is SCEE planning to launch without a public beta?"

UPDATE (April 18th 2008, at 14:00 PM):

Event is Sony Gamer's Day 2008

We just got another email from an anonymous source stating the Media Event is "strictly press and developers, and press badges are being sent out." Further more, the event "will be similar to the Sony Gamers Day hosted last year."

"The event will be hosted in London, with all the major Developers for Sony, including first party and second party developers will be there. Showcasing future titles and much more. The event is strictly press and developers, and press badges are being sent out. Furthermore the event will be similar to the sony Gamers Day hosted last year."

A SCEE rep has just confirmed to videogaming247 that a previously rumoured press-only event for May 6 is true.

No further details have been offered as yet, but it’s thought that SCEE will use the day to confirm details of the European launch of Home. More soon.
