Sony has announced plans to launch its ambitious PlayStation Home online service - announced at GDC last week - this October.
The initial download is expected to weigh in at "under 500MB", with subsequent patches "hopefully" integreated via a streaming solution "that makes them negligible".
A closed beta phase for around 15,000 users will take place between April and August, with an open beta for around 50,000 operating between August and October.
