At his GDC keynote, Harrison revealed that PlayStation Home will be a free service going into beta starting April will a full scale launch in the fall. Through a Sony developer document (PDF), however, we have learned that there will be three phases to rollout of PlayStation home.
Until August, 15K users are expected to beta test the service, with 45K testing the service before the final launch. Here’s to hoping that Xbox Live has a run for it’s money. Competition is a good thing ;-)
