Yeah I dont see why they would put this up if we werent very close to using it. It would be a huge tease if they did and considering how bad everyone wants in beta, downright mean!

It was under maintenance for a bit but it's back up. Nothing new from what I can tell.

Yikes! Supreme anticipation!

All of a sudden, life feels great again. Sweet!

Don't do that! Take it off!

There is a slight change that they'll mindcontrol their testers and make them put in the Beta code manually.

If they need to improve mechanics/gameplay and optimize the game for 2 or 3 Month in a closed Beta while they hyped the Game, it would be hard to keep the Hype going.
Better start the Hype with an Open Beta...

just my 2 Cents

I mean, come on. Just because you haven't seen X, there's no guarantee that X isn't completed yet.

Guys I understand with many of your concerns here, but it's getting a bit ridiculous.

Point is we already have folks attempting to access it with guess codes, there will be some bad apples in the beta, and everything you keep hidden will make its way to the internet, its a fact, I even know many from PSU are only going into beta so they can play the game early and have no thought to why its in beta in the first place.

Point is, show the things that will hype the game while your in control of them and while they are new, to take any damage away from idiots who will splash it all on the internet, and also hype your game to the max while doing so.

And another point, i could make a list as big as my arm on things we still have not seen. But notice the list is getting bigger on things we have seen and its all the big in game things we are getting glimpses of. So expect the Rexo and Max before beta.

One more point, we saw TR first, then NC then VS, in almost everything. Now we have seen the TR rexo, and glimpses of the NC, and we had a new one today, now the VS will be last. Then I think we will start on the maxes, we still have not seen a render of a full coloured max unit. But it will go TR, NC, VS then BETA!!!!

Wow
good news.

the SOE server goes nuts if you input (error 500)

https://account.station.sony.com/aut...n?gameCode=PS2

(whic is ,or will be, the account page for PS2)
id does that only with "PS2" gamecode. if you input "PS3" or "NCwin" you just get 404 from soe.

btw, great news.
i'll be watching my email inbox every 30 secs now...

Dear lord flying spaghetti monster, please, you got me in to closed beta for PS, please.. just please, follow up.

Higby is always saying he deliberately includes stuff just on the periphery of screenshots, just to enjoy the speculation.
I bet he has surreptitiously hidden a beta key in a tweeted screenshot.
Time to get looking

Why would they mess with beta activation codes when they force everyone have a station account anyway. Couldn't they just activate the beta for your account and email you about it? Would bypass a lot of nonsense such as lost emails or selling of keys.

I opened a support ticket and they changed my email for me. if you can remember what credit card you used and the billing address your sweet on the email front.
