[Twincharge]

Well I've not got an email from Sony with invite but I never seem to have luck with these Beta's.

Anyone wanna share a code with me?

I have been kind and gave people codes for other games, so if anyone is willing to share a HOME beta key, I would be very grateful. lol

FROM THE OFFICIAL FORUMS:

Following on from last Fridays email problem I just wanted to let you know that we're still working on the issue which is external and related to the volume of mail we're trying to send overall.

Just over 20000 emails managed to get through and the vast majority of the recipients downloaded and visited Home however the problem still remains and I'm waiting to hear what can be done about it.

Our intention is to resend all the emails we're sure didnt get through (the majority) and also send a larger batch this coming Thursday but the problem needs to be dealt with first obviously.

More news when I have it.

PS. With regards to "gamesharing" Home we've obviously removed the firewall from Home now so it works much like many PSN Games with multiple accounts. However, "gamesharing" involves sharing personal account details and this is just plain dumb.

Never ever give anyone your PSN Login ID or your Password.

Please, be smart about this, giving your account details to someone else is just like giving your account away hoping to get it back.

Open Beta isnt that far away.

Update 16:42uk:
We're working on clearing the email "blockage" but its a pretty slow process so I'll say now that no invites will leave today. More on this subject tomorrow.

For those of you interested, the first batch of invites was targetted at a percentage of people who had downloaded something from the Store. Its nothing to do with number of posts in the forums.
The next batch is largely based around active gamers, ie those who have logged into a SCEE hosted game in the last couple of months.
Again its not everyone, for those who dont get an invite Open Beta will be here before Christmas.

[Billhouse]

Looks like no invites today! What a surprise! So now who wants to be first to share the beta?

[kez m]

you and me billhouse totally nothing for me either

[Billhouse]

UPDATE- No invites for today again. TedtheDog has stated that unless the mail server issue is resolved tommorow, the keys wont be sent out until Thursday.

I could build and install a server with Debian/Postfix ready to send a mailshot of ~100,000 in less than 2 hours. It sounds like a bullshit excuse to me. They're probably seeing more load on their Home servers than they expected and are holding back until a decision is made on what to do about it.

It's definitely not a mail shot issue anyway. It just simply would *not* take this long to fix.

[Billhouse]

Wooo! Got in! A close friend of mine decided to share the beta with me.

[RESiDENT-UK]

did'nt think you could share

[kez m]

if you share details cant you download stuff on there credit card

[Billhouse]

Yes if they have billing information thats why Sony dont endorse such actions.

[kez m]
