:mad:

Simply!

This game looks great, its already been preordered and i want to be able to practice and learn the game like the Americans. Why does europe get 'special' treatment time and again.

How easy is it to set up a PSN US account? Does anyone think it will be that easy to get into beta?

Because it's Sony?

MGO > SOCOM

Could never get into the SOCOM games.

I'd be surprised if MGO was better than Socom.

Eurogamer will be giving out EU SOCOM Beta Keys in the next few days.

Those of you wondering whether Sony plans to run the SOCOM Confrontation multiplayer beta in Europe can stop fretting: it does, and Eurogamer will have 6,000 keys to give away when it begins.

As revealed on the PlayStation Blog overnight, the SOCOM beta will run for a full month in the US from 5th September to 5th October - and while Sony has yet to confirm exact details for Europe, we've been told it's okay to advise you about the keys. So hey, we've got keys! Woo!

SOCOM: Confrontation - as you of course know, because you're amazing - is a realistic-edged tactical third-person shooter from Slant Six with all sorts of cunning clan elements to support its online multiplayer premise.

The full game is due out in October in the US (and hopefully here), and you can check out our SOCOM: Confrontation gamepage for the latest screenshots, trailers and news.

We expect demand for the keys to be heavy, so keep an eye on Eurogamer over the next few days for an update on the giveaway.

Cheers for the great update. 6K keys though is so little when you consider the EU has double the population of the USA.

Is there a guide on how to create a US PSN account?

Yes but i got my beta invite from purchasing issue 1 of qore magazine, you will need to also get an entropay account to purchase this. Both how too's are in the FAQ if you get stuck.
It may be easier to wait and see the details of the EU beta test for now.

The Eurogamer keys will be released at 4pm tomorrow to people registered on their site.
