Social Networking has gotten so big it’s beginning to influence the video game world. That’s quite a feat considering how much money video games bring in already. But combining the two forces will more than likely set off a chain of events which will open up a black hole (take that Large Hadron Collider).

In all seriousness, Playstation Home looks pretty sweet and will come with some features that might even get this ‘non-social networking’ boob into the foray. You’ll have your Home Square which is your central hub for getting around to various places. Your apartment which will be entirely customizable **thinking of how to make a Seinfeld apartment clone**. There will be a theater to view videos and trailers. A room for Playstation Home games. And the coup de grace, a room for playing Namco games like Galaga, Dig Dug etc…

It’s kind of sad when your online house could eat your real one

Sony has announced that they will be starting their beta phase today, sending out invites to 10,000 lucky PS3 owners (crosses fingers).  The invites will be sent until August 11th. Then sometime in late August the Playstation Home Beta will be underway.
