Killzone 3 Open Beta Starts With Big Prize Opportunity
See Full ImageNot everyone got a chance to test out Killzone 3 last year. So if you missed out, now's the time to catch up.
The KZ3 Multiplayer Open Beta is a mere 24 hours away and Guerrilla says the "beta is looking better than ever." Find full details over at the PlayStation Blog; most importantly, you should note the small delay. The beta was originally supposed to start on February 2 but it will now begin on February 3 - today - at 10:00 a.m. PST. But here's the really cool part- they're giving away no less than 60 Killzone 3 Limited Helghast Editions, which will not be sold in stores. It boasts everything that comes in the Helghast Edition that you can find at retailers, but with the special bonus of a Helghast Helmet replica with illuminated LED eyes. How many did they make of these bad boys? Oh, 1000. Yeah, that's not many. If you want a shot at one, log on and get involved in the open beta this weekend.
Starting Friday, they will "randomly select 20 participants each day who are playing in the Open Beta," and then notify those lucky winners via e-mail. If you're a winner, you'll see that notice between February 10 and February 18. ...as if you needed any further incentive to play one of the most impressive betas to date. The closed beta last year was extremely solid and if it's indeed "better than ever," you're in for a very big treat.

And I had fun playing against them for 3 days, but I wasn't able to get more than 15,600 points in the 2nd wave, so I never got to complete it.
But, it looks like Killzone-3 is going to cause 2 new first's for this ole lone wolf.....
My 1st multi=player & my 1st beta.
Guess I'm going to have to delete Home once again to get my last 11GB's back just so I can try out this beta.

Yeah same here
Out of about 30 times I stopped in to play it, I only had 2 people assist me, with 1 kill each.
But in all fairness, about 20 of those times I jumped in were around 3 to 4AM when it was almost dead enough to hear crickets chirping.

i know the SP demo does, but they have not mentioned anything for the beta.
speaking of KZ3 sony just announced there doing a preview here!
dunno why, but they only do this for KZ.
out of all the ps3 exclusives released since the ps3 launched, KZ2 and this are the only games they have actually brought here for preview.
O, and GT5 but that was because toyota threw a whole lot of money at them to advertise there new super car at the motor show, without that and it would of not been there.
soooooooooooo hope i get in this, i never got to go to the KZ2 one.
does not say if the devs will be there though, the KZ2 one they had 2 of the devs there.

Just do what I do....
When you've reached my age, you've already learned to ignore hype altogether.
(But at 58, I'd still get hyped all over again, to meet your avatar, LOL)

Never say "never"....
I never won anything myself, until I won the NFS:Hot Pursuit game from that twitter contest here at PSXE. And that 1 win has put me on a hot streak ever since.
So far I've also won a COD:BO full-sleeved shirt from Gamestop, 2 Dead Space 2 & Splatterhouse swag bags from GamePro Magazine, $15 for a PSN game frtom 3D-MTBS, & just yesterday I won a $100 Amazon gift card from Raptr.
So thanks PSXE, you've certainly put me on quite a gaming win streak!
