Killzone 3 Beta Announced for Quick PlayStation Plus Subscribers


It'll take dedication to get into the Killzone 3 [http://www.amazon.com/Killzone-3-Playstation/dp/B002I0K6DG/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1286532339&sr=1-1] beta. Well, dedication and a quick internet connection.

A multiplayer beta for the third installment of the Killzone series descends on the PlayStation Network later this month, but if you want in, you're going to need to be fast, and have shelled out for a PlayStation Plus subscription.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/10/07/killzone-3-beta-starts-on-october-25th-here's-your-chance-to-get-in], Sony said that the beta had ten thousand places, split down the middle between Europe and the U.S. In order to guarantee a place, prospective players will have to sign up for, or already have, a PS Plus membership and be amongst the first five thousand in their area to download a PlayStation Plus exclusive Killzone 3 XMB theme on October 19th. Sony will email the fastest, or luckiest, ten thousand to tell them they have been successful, and then send them an access key when the beta starts on October 25th.

The beta will include the new Operations game type and the new party system, as well as the jetpack and exoskeleton vehicles. In exchange for getting to play the game early, Sony says it expects its testers to "provide honest gameplay feedback, report bugs and glitches, and help test [the] network code in real-world scenarios," all of which is pretty standard beta test stuff.

Killzone 3 will be released for PS3 on February 22nd.

I'm booking the 19th off work now...

I'm assuming I'll need to buy the KZ3 theme?, any ideas of price?.

"provide honest gameplay feedback, report bugs and glitches, and help test [the] network code in real-world scenarios,"
The shotguns overpowered, toned it down!, see Sony?, I'm already giving you feedback!, I deserve the place!

$0.00. The catch is that only the first 5000 from Europe and Us/Canada that download the thmeme can get in. I'm going to get a three month PS+ sub just for this.

Let's see, waste $50 on PS+ which hasn't had anything that would be worth the price so far in the US just to get into a beta, or save that $50 for when the full game comes out.

Yeah not really a hard choice, is it? Screw the beta.

Heres your choice with the $50....

Assassin Creed Brotherhood beta (already sent to PS+ subscribers)
Killzone 3 beta (your feedback can better the game betas aren't just demos, you actually tell the devs problems with the game)
Early access to InFamous 2 demo
Free games
Free themes
etc...

Or nothing.

Damnit, I'm going to be hold up on the 19th so I can't download it lickety-split!

God damn, there better be another beta/more ways to enter the beta than this.
