While Qore Episode 3 does indeed offer “premier access” to the Resistance 2 Beta, the actual Beta is currently planned for a “late September” release.
Another thing to note, is that the premier Resistance 2 Beta, is currently only being offered to Qore annual subscribers.
Gamers in Europe will get a chance to get in the Resistance 2 Beta, but will not be able to do so through North America’s Qore.

So if I buy this weeks issue I wont get the R2 beta?
August 7th, 2008 at 3:08 AM
Actually I believe the R2 beta is the same as the Socom one. Even single issue purchasers get it.

Hey everyone,
This is Bryan Intihar, community manager for Insomniac Games. Just to clarify a few points about the Resistance 2 public beta.
*You must purchase a subscription to Qore–not just episode 3–to gain premier access to the Resistance 2 public beta.
*As we’ve stated in the past, there will be MULTIPLE ways of getting into the Resistance 2 public beta. The subscription to Qore is just ONE way. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more details.
Hope this helps.”

As far as I understand, it has been officially confirmed by a representative from Insomniac Games that a consumer must have an annual subscription to Qore, not just Episode 3 itself, to be accepted into the beta.

Well theres definitely no way Im paying $25 for the subscription when I already paid $6 for the first two episodes. That would be a complete ripoff. Oh well Ill just get the preorder beta. That way Ill get it before Qore buyers too.

Is Qore Annual sharable? If so, I have an idea

If this is already up, sorry… my PS3 was acting weird.

Don’t buy that shit, this is what the guys at insomniac had to say about the beta.
“Here’s the deal. We are running a Public Beta, and you will have many ways to get in. The best way which will give you the earliest access to the beta will involve a pre-order program that should be announced soon, (for those of you who don’t know what pre-ordering is, you essentially reserve your copy with five dollars down, and that five dollars will go towards the price of the game when it releases).”
August 7th, 2008 at 7:12 AM
Yeah I just read a article about the pre order program. i hope its just like the mgo pre order program

@ claass21
If you bought the first two shows it does not affect the number of issues you will get if you start your subscription now. You will get 13 issues on top of the two you bought separately. So in the end you will have 15 issues. It is like a magazine sub, So it is not a ripoff. If you do not buy this months issue, and start your sub today, you start from August 08 to Sept 09, which equals 13 issues total. Hope that helps you.

this is cool I already have Qore plus I will probably preorder so I will get in the Beta one way or the other. But I just hope they get this Beta out sooner and quicker then the Socome Beta. Anyone here anything about that beta I’m still waiting.

Yes… you can go to your local gamestop/ebgames and pre-order the Socom game. They will give you an access code right then and there which will let you into the beta on Sept 23rd.
