SCEE PlayStation Day: Home hands-on

Gamespot's posted a hands-on with Home from the SCEE PlayStation Day yesterday. From the piece:

As long as you have a game installed on the hard drive or in the disc tray, you can jump straight into an online lobby from within Home. This means that you skip any of the game's introductions, and in the case of MotorStorm, you even get a custom loading screen that features the Home logo in the corner. Using the PSP interface, you can customise all of the game rules that you'd expect from an online game, including the number of players, private slots, and laps and tracks. Once you're ready to go, a small PlayStation control pad icon appears above your head. This indicates to other Home users that you're ready to play, and they can come over, chat to you, or just join you if they're interested. The demo that we played was running over the Internet, and even in its beta form, moving between Home and a game of MotorStorm was a completely seamless experience.

So there we are. No date was given for Home yesterday.
