In the latest post on the SOCOM.com blog they have some slightly bad news to reveal, namely that the SOCOM Beta which was expected to launch this coming Monday has been delayed. Do not fret however, as the Beta is now slated to start on the 5th for premier access. Those who purchased the June issue of Qore will be able to join the fray the following Friday on the 12th. There is some good news however, the delay will not affect the run length of the Beta. So instead of running till October 1st, the Beta will now last till October 5th.

To gain access to the SOCOM premier Beta you can pre-order the game at EB Games or GameStop in North America. When you pre-order you’ll gain access for both yourself and two friends.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

It may just be me, but the videos of this game in action just aren’t doing it for me. Having owned all three previous incarnations of this game (Confrontation notwithstanding) I expected a big leap forward. Honestly, COD4 looks way better. Whats up with the way the guys seem to be sliding around when they are running? Resistance 2 looks to be a way better purchase. I hope I’m wrong, but count me unconvinced.

Well socom has never been about graphics but seeing confrontation videos is just painful for me, seeing walking animations when a guy is sprinting, while hes in midair, just plain sliding with no animation, sliding while turning. we’ll just have to see how it feels i guess.

We apologize to everyone for the inconvenience of the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta delay. However, I am happy to say that everything has now been worked out and the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta will go live in North America tomorrow for anyone who has preordered at GameStop/EB GAMES. You must be registered for the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta using the instructions provided on the GameStop/EB GAMES SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta voucher to get your SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta code.
Assuming you’ve already registered, here is what to expect. At around 10am Pacific Daylight Time, e-mails containing the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta PSN codes will start going out in bursts. The e-mails will start arriving at e-mail in-boxes throughout the day. The e-mail will be sent to the PSN login e-mail address you provided when you registered for the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta. To redeem the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta PSN code, use the following steps:
Go to the PLAYSTATION® Network Icon on the PLAYSTATION®3 XMB™ (XrossMediaBar).
Select “Account Management.”
Select “Transaction Management.”
Choose “Redeem PLAYSTATION® Network Card or Promotion Code.”
Enter the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta code which you received in the e-mail.
Click “Continue.”
The download will be available on the next screen.
Redeem and download your own SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta client first, then give the code to two other friends.
I look forward to seeing you all on-line in the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta.
