<p>Subscribers to the Playstation newsletters got the following e-mail this morning from our friends at <a class="zem_slink" title="Sony" rel="homepage" href="http://www.sony.net">Sony</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>As an update to the PLAYSTATION(R)3 News email sent on Friday, October 24th, the special invitation to PlayStation(R)Home&#8217;s <a class="zem_slink" title="Software release life cycle" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle">closed beta</a> is available only to <a class="zem_slink" title="Qore (PlayStation Network)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qore_%28PlayStation_Network%29">Qore</a> annual subscribers who purchased subscriptions by 10/29. Qore Episode 06 purchasers will not be eligible for the special PlayStation(R)Home beta invitation at this time. We apologize for the miscommunication.</p></blockquote>
<p>Lets read between the lines here. In order to get the &#8220;closed&#8221; beta code you have to Purchase a subscription to Qore. That&#8217;s not a closed beta, it&#8217;s a pay-to-play beta. I am not opposed to it but Sony should label this properly. Also, when was the last time you paid to be part of a Beta program?</p>
