Chris Kohler, over at Wired.com, chatted up the PlayStation Network’s Senior Director, Susan Panico, recently who said that the PS3’s social networking app will be available by the end of the year as an “open, working beta.”

Panico goes on to say that the “rollout will be similar to Gmail,” which is still in beta, as many news outlets have pointed out. It seems that the Senior Director was alluding to the fact that Gmail is fully functional, though, even in its “beta” stage. Gamers should, presumably, expect a working product when they fire up Home when its released later this year with incremental updates and changes as the beta continues.
