"Check your emails, folks. Over the next few hours and days, new members of the expanded beta for PlayStation Home will be added. Already, folks in Europe have received a notice acknowledging their acceptance into the new beta. From what we hear, American members of the beta should be receiving download codes soon as well. Make sure you check your spam messages, as you wouldn't want to delete the code necessary to access the updated beta client -- would you?Remember: if you're already in the old beta, you must still get the download code to access the new, expanded beta.
