SOCOM: Confrontation Patch Won’t Fix All
11:20PM Brian Ashcraft | The SOCOM: Confrontation public beta hasn’t exactly been smooth. Good thing it’s a beta. And good thing it’s getting patched today with 8:00 AM EST — server maintenance will take 1.5 hours. But the Public Beta 1.10 Patch isn’t a cure-all.

SOCOM Beta Collapses Under Weight Of SOCOM Beta Testers
2:30PM Luke Plunkett | There’s loads of people with codes to the SOCOM: Confrontation beta, all lined up waiting to get into the thing. I should know, I’m one of them. You should know, however, that you’re going to need to be a little patient, as the sheer weight of users jumping into beta has caused the whole thing to come crashing down. There’s lag, disconnects, people can’t log in, the works. A statement on the SOCOM site says: We are doing everything we can to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and you should see some improvements progressively over the next couple of days. However, we do not expect to have the issues completely resolved until close to the end of next week. Before your rage builds, now would be a good time to remind you this is what betas are for.

SOCOM: Confrontation Beta Is Go
4:00AM Mike Fahey | News from the front! According to a large number of tips flooding our email inboxes and instant messenger windows, the PlayStation 3 beta for SOCOM: Confrontation has just gone live. Readers everywhere are reporting receiving their codes, with many letting us know that they are downloading the game as we speak. This of course means that soon download speeds will slow to a crawl, so while the beta may indeed be live, actually getting started with it might take awhile. Special thanks to fquick for using every means at his disposal to make sure we were made aware of this situation. More »
PS3 Headset Dated, Priced For The US
12:20PM Luke Plunkett | We know the deal with Japan and the official Bluetooth PS3 headset, but that’s of only trivial interest to most of you. Of a more direct interest should be the US details, which Sony have divulged today. The headset will, aside from launching in a bundle with SOCOM: Confrontation, also be sold individually, and will see a release sometime in “spring”. As for pricing, you may as well buy SOCOM, as the SOCOM/headset bundle will cost you $US 60, with the headset alone costing you $US 50.
