Beta Update

[Banana Man]

Just posted on the Socom Forums. I'd get my ass on there pronto and add your name to this thread. Not a guarantee of anything but mught work.

Okay, I'll try all this again...

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.

I dont think they are sending invites that way, I think its a forum member who want to see how many people want beta.

from what I understand is if you pre order socom with the headset from certain stores you get a voucher for the beta...once you sign in you can add two additional names to your voucher a week later to invite 2 friends to come and play too.

I do not know if this is for the UK but defo for US and Canada.

I hope some of you get in and get to try it as I am addicted to socom online...I play combined assualt nearly every night at the minute.
