Was doing my shopping today and decided to look to see if the PC Gamer UK magazine #241 was in the shops yet (rather than just for the subscribers). It wasn't, but there was one from last month (#240), and on the last page it said that #241 will be in the shops on June 6th....
I know that the beta keys aren't guaranteed access to the beta straight away, and I doubt that the beta would start taking people during E3, because I doubt the devs want the servers crashing then!! However, TB's supposed to be doing live-streaming during E3, and SOE seems to be pushing PS2 to be big at E3 anyway, which makes me think/hope we'll be getting some big announcements at E3. Maybe it's me getting too worked up by the date, but it seems to me like they might do something like announcing that the beta will start taking people once E3 is finished!
Is this just me putting too much in a possible co-incidence, or is this actually an awesome marketing strategy worthy of the game itself?
