I see you can download the Beta version of Black Hawk Down and i was just wondering if you can download the Planetside Beta anywhere. I cant wait to play it.

Nope PS being a MMO game means a downloable beta or demo will be huge. Only the few 50 peeps from super duper top secret beta download it.

I believe most people will need to recieve the beta CDs to play. I think it is only the very first people that will get to Download it.

I don't believe they are making people pay for the closed beta CDs. I think somebody just took something out of context or misunderstood someone and started a nasty rumor. I have not heard anything of this sort, and it obviously wouldn't make sense to this, so I doubt they are actually charging you for beta testing.

Yea I don't think that has been confirmed.

Only the first few people can download it. Can you imagine the server strain for 10,000 people downloading 1GB of files?

good point it would be insane. People would die from waiting either from exhaustion or anxiety

They will mail them out when the time comes.

I hope its not a mail out thing and its an ORDER thing. Like you dont pay for the cd but you pay shipping . plus i would get overnight shipping on it. Hell if im gonna wait at the mailbox for 7 days

You're too late - by several months. And I think that the first bunch of emails have been sent out now, if my sources are correct.

Betas on cd are usually mailed for free, ie EQOA was free for all the beta phases.

Well there is going to be another round of beta sign ups apparently pretty soon after the first 50 are done.
