According to a press release from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. today announced the launch of PlayStation Home Beta (Open Beta) service will launch globally to all PS3 users on December 11,2008.

The good news, for current closed beta testers such as myself, is that we get to keep all of our items, our avatar saves, and apartment. The only thing we will be losing is our Clubhouse which will be available as a fee in the Open Beta.

In addition to the Uncharted and Fry Cry space that existed in the closed beta, Red Bull Air Race will be included sometime next week. Also more publishers, and businesses are slated to join the Home hemisphere thereafter.

PlayStation Home has been in closed beta since May 2007. Sony has delayed the launch of Home several times to make sure Home is ready for prime time. Over 18 months of testing and refining the service, PlayStation Home looks promising. Sony even launch a PlayStation Home website with a Home Tour video. In it, we get a tour of the Central Plaza, the Bowling Alley, Shopping Center, the Theater, and virtual apartments.  

What the website doesn’t say is PlayStation Home will soon be in Open Beta by Christmas. This is according to TedtheDog, the SCEE Home Manager. http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=b_EN_PS3_Home&thread.id=32928
