As we’ve been hinting at all week, Home 1.0 is now available for existing beta testers. We couldn’t get past the “initialising” screen, presumably it’s busy with lots of people trying to get on (great stress test indication) so we’ll check later. It’s worth mentioning that Home is now a proper part of the XMB, next to the Store, as can be seen in our photograph above.

So, get on, download the client (still about 80MB) and see if you can connect up. If we ever get as far as the EULA we’ll be able to see if we can finally talk about Home. If not, well, we’re sure the open beta isn’t far away.
