[Unregistered]

You mean you didn't get your yet?

That horse isn't gonna move, no matter how hard or how many times you hit it. It's DEAD.

[Jinxmasta]

What's up with people's obsessions of dead horses? :p

[NapalmEnima]

I think it has something to do with that movie, "Godfather". :P

I got my acceptance on Saturday. They also sent me a gift certificate for a free copy of the game and a lifetime free subscription to the monthly service.
Finally, they asked if I had room for a Cray Supercomputer to run the game on. Apparenlty they had a spare and liked my application so much that they felt I should play in style.

However, I kindly thanked them and said I didn't want to know earlier than anyone else and don't think I should get special treatment so I gave all the stuff back.

Now I am just like you suckers and check the official and un-official websites about every 2 hours or any new shred of information or an indication that I should expect something.

PS. I remember when this same process went on for the Tribes2 beta. I was lucky enough to get into that, but I was checking the boards for new info almost constantly. It was very exciting, but I hope the PS beta is bit more polished than T2 was. It would make testing much more enjoyable.:eek:

I checked my e-mail on the tenth, at the same time I do every day, and I was skimming through about 50 spam, scam, and porn e-mails when I noticed an e-mail that told me to "Sign up for the Planetside Beta!"

Well, needless to say, I was overjoyed that they had begun the signup process, and immediately checked that e-mail. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the closed beta signup stopped on November 8th.

I looked at the date I recieved the e-mail.

November 10th.

I recieved an e-mail reminding me to sign up for the beta two days after the deadline to sign up for the beta. So unless the people who send out the e-mails to people who DID get into the beta are on crack, my chances are rather slim.

Woe is me.

[CoolAid]

I got that too. It was part of the sony newsletter. I think the right hand needs to talk to the left hand.

You broke the terms of the NDA! I'm telling so-nyyy!!!

[jamikey]

I have a stupid question to ask. Say I got into beta and came back and told you guys everything about it. Would anyone really go tell sony? Or how would sony ever find out?

[Hamma]

Well for one, they read these boards :p

I dont think you break the NDA by saying your a beta tester tho

[Tobias]

make a new user name, post from the library, and dont give specific exsamples and they will never know its you!

[michaelgvh]

LOL.... you guys just killed your beta chances.

I hope you didn't sign up for the beta with these names. First, asking how to get around the rules, then somone helps him out.

Dave G is reading this forum with a red pen in one hand going "COOL, scratch 2 more!" :D
