The Playstation Blog announcement doesn't mention whether the application instructions apply to just U.S. or if Canadians can also apply in the same manner. Fearing the worst, I assumed it was U.S. only.
Fortunately, a commenter by the name of geekdadcanada asked if Canadians can also apply for the Playstation Home beta.
Jack Buser, Director of PlayStation Home had this reply:
"Canada is included."
Ah, such sweet words you speak Jack.
So if you're a Canadian gamer, and looking to apply, here's the scoop on how you do so:
Today the PLAYSTATION Store will be updated with a PlayStation Home theme. By downloading the theme, users are submitting an application to join the PlayStation Home Beta test community. Sony will be using a variety of criteria including activity on the PLAYSTATION Network to determine eligibility for the Beta community. Existing beta testers have automatically qualified to be part of the expanded beta.
