You know how right rich and famous people like Jessica Simpson get to walk into fancy designer boutiques and have the door lock behind them, giving them special private access to all the goodies? If you're one of PlayStation Home's beta testers (and who isn't?), that's you now. Except there's an above average chance you're not a attractive as Jessica Simpson...

The Shopping Centre in Home is now open in the beta, albeit not in its full e-capitalist glory just yet. Sony has said that, following some downtime (which kicked off at 7am today) it would put "some items into the Shopping Centre to help test the mechanics there".

It plans to have seasoned beta testers log and report any problems and a list of known issues will be published shortly.

Viva rampant consumerism!
