beta signups prior to beta release

[Wutpear]

Ok, I signed up for the beta prior to the first wave of beta invites being released. I am not a PS1 vet so I know I'm not going to be in the first few waves or anything. I just want to know if I will get in the beta eventually even if its the last few waves.

If not.. I am willing to buy the PS1 thing so i get in the next round
Concerning "the PS1 thing" what is it exactly that we would have to buy? A SOE playcard for PS1? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can this be purchased online or does my lazy ass have to go somewhere

I'm not endorsing anyone to do this for beta access. You can buy the game from GameFly for $10.

So, "theoretically" if I bought this I would somehow link the purchased game to my current SOE account and get beta access next round or would I have to make a new account linked to the purchased game.

Also i would like to restate my first question; so long as I signed up for the beta pre-beta am I guaranteed any kind of beta access?

The link pushes me back to gamefly main page, it keeps doing it since months.
Maybe I'm EU and I can't get to the .com pages, it pushes me back to .uk.

It's worth noting there are lots of PS1 vets, they might not all get in in one round of invites.

[Wutpear]

I assumed they were doing this because there weren't enough PS1 vets to support a full round of invites but maybe thats just me hoping thats what it is

Try SOE's site here http://www.soe.com/getthegame/

PS1 is on the bottom right of the game selection

Doubtful. There is likely thousands of vets waiting to get in. PS1 from what I know peaked at 100K subs or a bit lower. Even if 10% of those registered for beta thats 10,000 invites right there to give you a perspective. Thats why Smed said it can potentially takes weeks to get everyone in.

Thanks for sharing, knew already that source, but says 18 dollarz :o

Probably not going to find anything cheaper TBH. Gamefly and SOE is the only sources to get the game currently I know of.

15$ here without aftershock, and has been stated that a gamepass works good.
Do you think I can get access to gamefly with a proxy to get it for 10$?

[Goku]

I heard back and forth issues with people attempting to just sub, which is why I don't normally bother with that.

Give it a shot? I'm not entirely sure is all.

[Goku]

I realize some people see this as a money grab. But really how many people do you see doing this? I don't see many. SOE isn't going to be laughing all the way to the bank IMO.

[Wutpear]

I agree with Goku even though I want to do exactly what you described. The thing is they didn't like announce "COME BAI PS1 U GET TEH BETAS". There was really just a twitter post confirming that such an action could be taken.

You may hate me for buying my way into the beta but you wont hate me when I blow up that scythe attacking you.
