Depends if SCEE decide to hand out the codes in time..

BluPayne4400 · 08-26-2008, 03:07 PM

Do anybody have a extra code for me? I'd really appreciate it. Please pm me. I can give you a disney rewards code.

Update on the European side of things:

You'll just have to expect something to turn-up in your emails or on your regional PSN store on Monday next week.

I'll keep you updated on the progress of things if I get any more info...

Some of you are right in that this will be a multiplayer demo and not a traditional "Public Beta". It will be Beta level code (although near-final) but we won't explicitly be taking feedback on the game itself; this is more of a PR initiative and a last chance for us to test the server infrastructure on a real-world scale.

The number of codes available runs into the tens of thousands. All registered Beta trialists should get an email containing one, as should all SOCOM HQ forum members for most of the languages. As far as I'm *currently* aware, only the Nordic territories will have a pre-order scheme, but I don't know any more details about it and I don't know who it will be with, so please don't ask me any more questions on that! In Nordic territories the chosen retailer will most likely mail-shot people using SCEE's help (and database presumably), so if you're a SOCOM fan there then you should be getting an email.

As for everyone else who doesn't fall under a category above, emails will be targetted at people who have listed SOCOM as a favourite game of theirs when filling in surveys, etc. or who have claimed themselves as fans of this genre of game. It'll all work in pretty much the same way as other email communications from SCEE, where a mail turns up in your inbox informing you of a new download or release on the PSN store.

So, as I have said before you needn't worry about getting access to the code, our Marketing group should have all bases covered and emails should be sent out on Monday 1st, which will coincide with the code going live on the PSN store (barring any unforseen technical problems before then, of course).

Regards,
Shijima.

Me and my clan are going to be on this beta day 1.. we have about 30 people signed up.. serious players should look for a @NUTZ@ room in west 1.

I am in the private beta right now.. it is alright, but public beta has more enabled.. like clan support..

What's your plan? Taking off work? Did you quit your job? Call up a babysitter? Prepare a fort in the front room near your PS3? Let the family know that you're gonna be in-country for a while and to just leave dinner nearby?

I've got some “down to the wire” beta info for you. I checked with the team and the beta is going to be available for download on Monday, September 1st. It's going to be a couple hundred megs under two gigs, so download times may vary according to your connection.

After that, it's on, right? M4s and Noob Tubes and Claymores galore. I expect everyone to know Crossroads inside and out by the end of Wednesday, and to have code names setup for every nook and cranny by Thursday.

how do you get in to the public beta?

MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A VOUCHER FIRST! I had to go to 3 Gamestops (called the third 1st to veriry) and they were either out of they claimed that they never received them. Then asked "with or without the headset" Only reason for me to pre-order is the Voucher.

Best of the lot IMO. The PEGI rating and SCE logo will obviously line up properly for the final version.
