Resistance 2 Public Beta Sign Ups Live
Posted by Mike Fahey at 2:20 AM on October 3, 2008
Want a chance to get into the Resistance 2 public beta test? MyResistance.net has just launched the website where you can sign up to be a part of the testing of one of the PlayStation 3's most ambitious first-person shooters yet. Simply sign in with your PlayStation Network ID and password, fill out a brief survey, and you'll be entered for a chance to get your hands on the game early. You, and every other PS3 owner on the planet, barring those without internet. I believe a rousing Kotaku community wishing of good luck is in order here. We'll need it.
Welcome to the Resistance 2 Public Beta Application [MyResistance.net - Thanks Steve!]

@Lixie:
Servers would most likely get fucked over.
They're probably only able to handle so many at the minute, and need to test for bugs etc.

i suggest you guys to change your password after filling this form. getting all excited, it might be a credit card scam. SHAME on you kotaku for not finding it suspicious that they ask for passwords

Signed up! Thanks for the heads up on this. I count on Kotaku to keep me apprised of stuff like this always.

How is this a "public" beta when you have to sign up and hope that they choose you? Wouldn't that make it a closed beta?

@liquid_kore: Its because this particular sign up is meant for Playstation underground members,someone let the media know about the emails UG members were getting,and now places like Kotaku are reporting its sign up time,which it is not.

@Lixie:
Probably the same reason they dont let in 250,000 or 500,000. A limited size is easier to deal with. Its not a demo afterall.

I was promised late September for buying a QORE issue In which I had less than zero interest in the contents contained there in.
Did I just miss the invite?

yeah umm......they've been live since last night......but knowing my luck....i won't get in.....sony hates those of us who actually use their console regularly....but i damn sure aint payin 150% price of a game to play the damn beta!!

I like that betas have become marketing events, but why still the exclusivity? Why not let in 100,000 people instead 10,000?

What if I signed up using the key i received upon pre-ordering the game? Does that guarantee me a beta key?

okay seriously, I bought that stupid QORE issue to get into this beta, and still got NOTHING from that.
This is easily hands-down the most retarded beta application process ever. I've done the form on this site TWICE now, and paid 3.95 for QORE which offers jack all, and still nothing.
Screw you, Insomniac.

I didn't get in the first time I registered (never do) but hopefully the second time is the charm.

@sludge13:
On all of the new sites,Resistance,LittleBigPlanet, you have to sign in with your PSN id.That's how xbox.com works also.

Signed up in hopes that playing it previous to release will abate my want to buy it, thus saving me a little money this November. What will likely happen, however, is that I will end up wanting the game MORE.

@sludge13: Would a scam site really have the ability to sign into your PSN account? Think.

So what was that thing I signed up for before?
Seriously this whole Resistance 2 beta process has been a damn confusing.

@enewtabie(Future LittleBigPlanet Master Creationist): i hope so, coz i jumped into the wagon without thinking too! was too excited :P then after finised signning up, i thought about how sony wouldn't ask for our email and password... remember the LBP scam? yeah, so i changed my password right after. so it's a win-win for me though.

I was in on the private beta.
Looks good, so far. Kinda combines a raid-esque FPS atmosphere on the co-op.

I think pre-ordering it gets you in automatically...but just to be safe, I registered in two other different ways.

@sludge13: SHAME on your for assuming that this site would blindly post a link to something sketchy without some sort of disclaimer.
(hopes no one remembers that dreamcast thing).
but seriously, it's annoying when people are so paranoid about things which are clearly legit. i bet you run a big resource hog of an anti virus suite on your pc, don't you? ;)

@sludge13: Holy shiet...you are right about that. But don't you have to enter the right username and password to authenticate...because I typed it in wrong and it didn't take it. I assume that is correct since if it was phishing it wouldn't know what my password was and just accept it. But you are so right about that. From now on, I would be pretty damn careful. My PSN account was compromises a month or so back and I lost 25 bucks. I'm still disputing with Sony, but they're being such an asshole about it I don't think I will get it back. Chalk that up to a lesson learned...never enter account info on a website.

@Superlocke: i was a bigger sucker than you.. went for the annual subscription which guaranteed an entry :D
been checking every day to see if qore updated it download list. Ohhhh how i hate that BK ad
Qore was a waste of money. You get to see these vids which are just sony advertisements which you see on the net for free. The downloads were what attracted me, but guess they just throw in scraps at you which every one is going to get eventually.

Anyone notice a marked increase in the shillage on this site lately?

@Ehardergardens: No. If you bought Episode 3 of Qore, you will get into the beta one week after it starts. Annual subscribers get in Day 1. I think you have to go to the download section of that Episode when you are eligible to get it.

@IntelSilver: Yes. If you got the code from Gamestop and registered you are in day 1.
