Sony has announced that the expansion of its closed beta test for PlayStation Home will begin at the end of this month. A post on Sony’s PlayStation.Blog revealed the planned expansion in Europe and apparently the most active PlayStation Network and Store users will get their hands on it first.

To apply, all you have to do is to download the PlayStation Home theme for your PSN. Sony will be in contact with the PSN audience shortly with further information on the subject. Question is, will LittleBigPlanet prevent Home from doing the homerun it was planning to do from the beginning? At least I know I’ll put my energy on Sackboy.
