I got invited to the PlayStation Home closed beta today.  Woo?

Right now, my dude is dancing with about twenty other dudes (almost all of us wearing the same shirt) in PlayStation Home.  I'm having fun watching it, but it's obvious Home, in its current form, has some flaws.  I don't feel like playing Second Life on my PlayStation Triple, and don't let any Sony PR rep make you think that it's any more than that.  Home is a social experience (don't call it a game), and I'm not sure if that's what the PSN needs right now.

When I first booted Home, I made my dude.  After a very short tutorial I moved to the central plaza, where I danced around some bubble machines, watched a Far Cry 2 trailer (in stunning not-high-definition... I'm looking at you Phil Harrison), and started doing the robot at the "Listen@Home" speakers.  I hope you don't have a problem with only dudes in a social game; I haven't seen a single female character yet.  So yes, dancing is with a bunch of dudes and electronic music.

There are other areas you can visit in Home, but instead of downloading everything when you first install, it's broken up based on where you visit.  The initial install is only 77MB, but you download other areas as you go (translation: you don't have to download an EA Sports or Eidos space).

Hold up everybody, while typing this a chick started dancing near me.  She's dressed kind of like a whore though; it's probably a dude.

Well that's it for my first hour.  Did anybody else get into this beta?
