GUESS WHO TOTALLY FORGOT TO SIGN UP FOR THE BETA!%#

"Oh, it will still be here when I get back home!" Famous last words!

That is the exact same thing I said, I filled out the app, and my internet got screwy, so I had to go to class, and thought "Oh, it will still be here when I get back home!" . Well screw that. And my old comps components we're what I listed anyway, so if it did submit, I still wouldn't get anywhere. Now if I had my new e-penis then like I do now..............

Thats pretty hardcore. Would you allow them to insert and 4 letter word in there (like poop or anus)? I am not sure I would suck poop to get into beta.

BTW Hamma lies. We all know he got into Beta. ;)

I got no such email.

I wouldn't doubt Hamma didn't get the e-mail. He only got in internal beta b/c he has a fan site. with only 50 people, I think they must all have the following:

GeForce 4 Ti 4600 or ATI Radeon 9700

1gb RAM

3.06 Pentium 4 processor safely clocked at 6.57ghz with a liquid nitrogen cooling system

900 gb hard drive

a t3 connecting set up for only one PC

Just to settle all the questions:
SmokeJumperPS:
Just to be clear, not that it matters much in the long run, but press members were not included in the 50 emails that went out. Press is handled as a separate group by our Marketing team.

To whoever said about the T3 line for the beta-I would not be surprised if the first 50 people had at least T1 or higher, I remember trying to DL the Neocron beta over DSL, and it took like 4 hours. That was a 1gb file, I heard someone say PlanetSide is twice that big. :(

How old do you have to be to apply for the BETA testing?

Arshune

You had to be 18 to apply for the selective beta, I heard someone say they might lift the NDA for the mass one though. Probably not though. :(

There will be another sign up for the open beta in a few weeks (hopefully, :), I'm really just guessing ). If you watch this site or Sony's I'm sure you'll find an obvious link to the beta application when you can apply.

Hamma didnt need an e-mail. When he took SJ to the strip club last week, SJ told him in person.

Thinking the same thing, maybe except the strip club, more like a trip to playboy mansion.
