Killzone 3 beta will be exclusive to PlayStation Plus subscribers

Excited for the Killzone 3 beta? Well, I've got some good news, and some potentially bad news. Good news is, the beta will start later this month. The bad news is, if you're not a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can't be part of it.

 

 

 

Here's how to get in:

  • Be(come) a Plus subscriber
    • With the exception of a handful of key media partners and selected PAX feedback participants, access to the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial is limited to PlayStation Plus subscribers. If you’re not enjoying the many benefits of Plus membership yet, now’s the time to sign up!
  • Download the theme
    • On October 19th, an exclusive Killzone 3 XMB Theme will appear in the Plus section of the PlayStation Store. The first 10,000 Plus subscribers to download this theme (5,000 SCEA Plus subscribers and 5,000 SCEE Plus subscribers) will receive access to the Public Beta Trial.
  • Check your email
    • After you’ve downloaded the Killzone 3 XMB Theme, you will receive an email on Oct. 25th containing the Public Beta Trial promotion code and further instructions through the address you registered as your PSN Sign-In ID. Make sure you’ve set your notification preferences to accept emails from SCE, or we won’t be able to contact you.

 

So if you're not a Plus subscriber, the question would be, would cough up some cash to get into the beta?

that was their objective since the beginning. Too bad people failed to notice that.

Meh, better wait to see a KZ3 demo released and then buy it.

KZ2 was such a cliffhanger, damn it, I wanted to continue!! And I will. :D

Running around in the KZ2 demo was what got me to buy that game on launch...

I won't be getting KZ3 if they don't release a demo for it on normal PSN :-?

Demos will always end up on the regular PSS, that's for sure.

Pre-demos stay on PS+ for a while but then they'll turn up for the free users.

you're right, but that doesn't mean they will make the demo available before the game release or shortly after for that matter. They will probably wait until sales start to decline to lure potential buyers.

They probably will. The beta is for PS+ subscribers only, but they've said nothing about the RC demo.

Isn't a beta meant for testing for bugs? Beta testers are doing the devs a favor. How does it make sense to charge for it?

And then, after SCE made a big hoopla over psn+ members getting exclusive access to betas, they limit it even further by only letting 5000 from each region. Setting aside the fact that there are more NA players and EU (meaning if you're an NA + subscriber, you've got more competition than an EU subscriber), that seems to be kind of a weak way of fulfilling that particular promise. A lot of people bought plus 'cuz it was supposed to let them into exclusive betas and/or demos, but now it turns out it only got them a chance at the beta. Sony found a way to make psn+ even more of a ripoff than it already was.

Remember that movie "Major League," where they needed the team to tank to make a whole bunch of money somehow? Is anybody starting to wonder if SCE is going through something like that? Like they're trying to drive their business into the ground by pissing off all their customers. I mean seriously, what the hell is going through those guys heads' these days? I bet they fired Ken Kutaragi 'cuz he wouldn't cooperate with their dick moves.

The term beta today is just a synonym for demo.

Well i believe Sony's run like a dictatorship with a Kim jong-il type managing director, where i'm sure Sony has plenty people with good ideas but the dear leader who knows nothing about running a modern gaming platform just dismisses what everyone says and uses only his ideas, it really is the only explanation for how dumb their strategy is.

The leader should read comments from fans and from there on he/she would know what to do next.

this wont make me buy a psn plus subscription lol.. so this is how sony is expecting to make a million+ members of psn+ ..buy selling betas?.. get out of here. give us dedicated servers especially for exclusive games online. also cross game chat, party system, extended warranty (its only available in usa, but not EU). right now the psn+ sub is not worth buying.

As it seems Cross Gaming Chat and Custom Music in-game isn't available because of EA, but EA has got a lot better and I think that war is over.

Now it's $ony's turn to add it.

# looks like ima b getting ps+narutosaiyan 2010-10-07 23:33
been looking for a reason to get it, thers been some pretty good discounts on there but nothing to get me to buy it, but ima do it soon. Instead of bitching like a lil baby, if u wanna play the beta sign up and stop being a lil bitch, if not wait 4 months play the fucking demo n buy the game and STFU nobody is forcing you to buy anything.

Others won't even play the demo or buy the game because they're too cheap to do so.

They'll use psJB/etc and that's it, sadly it's how it goes.
