EDIT: CONFIRMED FAKE

Evidence being the Learn to edit HTML tabs and, well, 4chan. Also, the download link on the PS2 website is still a 404 error.

Looks like they just edited the HTML of a Newsletter.
Sorry for jumping the gun guys. I fell for this one bad. :(

Enlarge the image and check the tabs on his browser, "edit HTML" among others. 98% fake.

Hmm, shit. We could be the subject of serious trolling here. This did originate from 4chan after all.

Well, it's from 4chan originally, not to mention the fact that he has "learn to edit HTML" tabs open, which leads me to believe that someone is a-trollin.

Tomorrow sounds legit though. A lot of stuff pertaining to games happens on Tuesdays.

Fake.

Nothing to see here.

Mods, if you could lock this down before it becomes Canon, that would be great.

i want a confirmation from some one inside psu because this does look very much fake

Most likely fake. Pretty bland for a beta invite. Usually more info. Also the format is exactly the same as another PS2 email I got.

But who knows

I looked passed the email to the porn bookmarks.

This is definitely a fake.

Sorry for jumping the gun guys. Got too damn excited. :(

Please lock/retitle mods!

Ya, I wouldn't say confirmed fake... But it's gotta be 98.6% chance of totally fake.

Edited OP, this is a Troll.

The HTML stuff tipped me off, but the fact that there is literally no notice and no haircut on twitter makes it pretty clear.

Ill leave open till Radar pops in and just smites the troll. :D

RadarX will be along shortly to confirm/deny.

By policy we don't comment on rumors because people will fish relentlessly for information. I'll say what I said a few months ago. If you keep guessing dates? Someone is eventually going to be right.

Look at his bookmarks, or whatever they may be. ASS STRETCHERS?!

I dont want to live on this fucking planet anymore.

You mean more along the lines of "my phone had a special alert for emails and every time it goes off my heart stops till I open it and see its not beta" right? Lol

Jumping to conclusions, yea its more than likely fake. :( Oh well, another day, another troll. :P

..and strangely enough, Pojo.com.

Man, I was a moderator on their message boards and IRC channel like 10 years ago. Seems like a lifetime ago.

In this case wouldn't a denial be more appropriate??
