The DC Universe Beta that was promised to people who pre-ordered the game launched on Friday. However a quick scan of the comments on DC Universe Online's facebook page tells a different story. Many have not received their invite or received word from SOE.
If you do not read this whole update, here's what you need to know:
* Episode 46 is Justice League Dark Cursed
* PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launch this holiday season
WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
Hmm, the beta it is only for Pre orders?
You can sign up for the Beta for free, PC or PS3 Version:

I signed up months ago, and I didn't receive any notificacion.
EDIT:
The registration is closed.
Yeah the freebie signups were supposedly available to a select few. Though a few people who signed up for those have gotten invites. The problem is they promised invites if you pre-ordered the game and didn't deliver. Not only that but they waited to tell you how to fix it until you were unable to do so. It is more likely that freebie signups will be able to beta closer to the launch of the game.
Why pay for a crap game every single month, when you could just pay once for GW2..
I'm not sure I would after the way they treated their pre-order's.
Its not that clear cut, as someone who scours the dcuosource forums and other sites, its definitely SOE dropping the ball but it was clearly stated that by nov 30th pre-order beta invites would be sent out so there is still time, my guess is most of those who got shafted would get theirs soon enough as long as they resubmit their preorder image or when they submitted a ticket at SOE website or even when they call the service line.
The problem for others was that the site did not state what format to send the preorder proof as and many were reject like .doc file as they could be tampered with. Still this is no excuse and with the PS3 beta also on the nov 30th deadline, I'm hoping they don't have the same screw up when we have to get our beta keys.
@Merivigian
you know nothing about the game clearly so keep your biased and uninformed opinions to yourself.
