Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 3:46 PMSorry, I fail to see where it explains the timeframe…
But I could be reading this wrong:
“Beta codes will be sent out and activated by Monday, 16th November 2009, and will close on Friday, 20th November 2009.”

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 4:00 PMApparently this round of the beta does indeed only run for five days.

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 3:35 PMAnd not over the weekend either?? Blah what happened to the majority of gamers being people with jobs in their mid-20s??

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 4:29 PMboth the EU and the US betas have had weird restrictions on the times that the servers are up, the fact this game uses dedicated servers probably has more to do with it than anything else.
the september EU beta was restricted thus: “The beta will be open for six hours a day, Monday to Friday. These times are 5pm to 8pm and midnight to 3am, GMT (although they may vary)”

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 5:06 PMBeen playing the beta on mates account for weeks (he has a Canadian PSN) and the latency issues were close to nil, its a great game, being a PC fps fan myself i was very skeptical, but i learned playing fps on console with this game and loved it.

Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 7:29 PMWhat? I got a beta code for this back in September. It was a decent shooter but not really anything special. I had more fun with Killzone 2.
