Socom.com Public Beta Announcement

Listen up folks, 'cause I've got some dirt on the Public Beta for SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Confrontation! We're not quite ready to say when it will come out, but let's just say that it's gonna be a hot summer... better to spend it inside, just in case.

There'll be a couple of ways to get in. One will be through a radically different pre-order program (think 'team') the team is working on with one of our retailer friends. It's currently in planning mode, but I should have some more info soon. Trust me-- all you clan guys are going to love it. Stay tuned.

The second option will be to go through Qore: Presented by PLAYSTATION®Network, SCEA's new interactive monthly program. It goes up for purchase and download on the PLAYSTATION®Store on June 5th. Subscribers to Qore will get the opportunity to participate in the Public Beta when it's available, but you can occupy your time watching some of the cool SOCOM behind-the-scenes videos that will come exclusively with Qore.

I see a lot of talk on the forums and comments about how this person or that person is the biggest and baddest SEAL around. Soon, you're going to get a chance to put your money where your mouth is!

I'll probably take the pre-order option if that's available. Isn't this a PSN title? Id be happy to pay the full price now, get the beta when released then just download the game when released. Like Steam (PC) say.

Everyone's happy :)

*Nice find big_tim*

yeah that would be sweet, but I do hope we get the same pre order/qore option as the USA, because I never bothered with this in the past (GC only at the time)and I'm looking forward to how the tactics aspect of the game work.

I also like the sound of how voice chat works, were if your close to someone they can hear you but to talk to someone in the distance you have to use the radio.

I NEED THIS BETA!!!! WANT NOW!!

Can't believe I am going to pay 3$ for a demo.

I am not getting that Qore service though. Thats BS. PSN is supposed to be free.

And PSN is still free.

word, psn is free, their giving you the option to buy it or not. 360 you have to buy the whole "live" to play online....no option there, its either subscribe to everything or get nothing.

Betas are a special treat. This has nothing to do with paying for online service

I fear it may turn my Beloved PSN into a Live... so you will have to pay to get in all those betas.

Here is to hoping I am wrong.

Yeah, Qore sound like a ripoff, paying for beta's and videos is a stupid idea.

I have had my PS3 a long time and have been in 1 beta. If $24.00 gets me in all the betas it might be worth it, but they need to have some hefty content in these core videos.

I like the free videos we get on PSN, I want to know how this service is going to differ.

I love this game, but if people start paying for demos, then you will create a market for demos that cost money......bad idea.

Do you know the difference between a beta and a demo?

I pre-ordered MSG4 and got MGO Beta, which was a privilege. I would not preorder for a demo.

I still wouldn't pay to be part of a beta. And yes I do know what a beta is, but really its just an early demo that allows a limited number of people. ;)

be wary of this service. It may start to make you pay if you want demos, videos and anything else which is already free.
