Usual routine this morning - wake up, turn on computer, load up emails, select and delete the 95% that are rubbish. Read the remaining 5% and hope for something interesting. Today that 5% held my PlayStation Home Beta Access Key. Yey!

I've spent a lot of time in the Home world today, and even with the very limited content it's really impressive. Customisable avatars, customisable living spaces, customisable clubhouses and a number of social areas to mingle in really make the experience interesting. There's quite a bit lacking in the world at the moment, but that's sure to change with time. But as a beta it's pretty shiny. The scope for annoying everyone else with body popping dancing and unneccessary waving gestures is unending. I will have a lot of fun with that.

There was one moment of minor lulz when the big screen in Home Square started showing game ads. Big music and big explosions heralded an ad for Wipeout HD, in what is probably the worst quality video to have played through my HDTV since I've had it.
