Does anybody know when the beta starts?

What?! Seriously? I need to go boot up Qore Episode One... =P

I hadn't heard anything about it starting, so I assumed it hadn't started yet. D'oh!

Ignore what I said, sorry I thought you were refering to Giant Bomb beta. (I posted straight from the new threads page).

Sorry about that. 

This is the last time you mess with meeeeeee, Apex!!! GARGHHH!!!

j/k ;-)

:P

Ironically enough the last time I played a game beta was the original SOCOM for PS2. I had to pay £40 ($80) for Sony to send me the game, headset and network adapter. They also sent me a copy of SOCOM II beta a few years later for free. 

Probably never.

The point of the beta is to see what changes need to be made. Slant Six is working slowly (2007 exclusive anyone?) and even Infinity Ward took two months I believe.

If a "beta" does come out it shouldn't be called a beta and instead be called a demo because they won't even have time to make changes without delaying it.

Look at SOCOM.com today. SCEA announced on the official SOCOM forums (PlayStation Underground) that they will have all the details of the SOCOM public beta in today's blog post. However, it is confirmed GameStop will begin giving out beta codes on 8/11 via e-mail, so if you pre-order from GameStop, make sure to give them your e-mail address. Also, the blog post should also specify a date for the Qore beta.

As for the closed beta, SCEA picked out members from the official forums who were nominated as community leaders and put them in the list of closed beta members. I was in that list, but I haven't received a beta or e-mail or anything, and judging by others on that list, they haven't either, so I assume both betas haven't started yet. The closed beta needs to close before the open beta opens.

I'm happy to be able to share information on the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta.

When does it start?
The SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta will start on September 1st and end on September 30th; a whole month of SOCOM goodness.  

How to Get In?
There are two ways to get into the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta

GameStop Preorder Campaign
Some of you may have already seen we have started an exclusive preorder Public Beta campaign with GameStop.  If you preorder SOCOM: Confrontation at GameStop, not only will you be able to access the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta on day 1 but you will also be able to share the code you receive from Sony PlayStation with two friends as well.  SOCOM is all about team work and what better way to encourage team work than to make it easy for you and a couple of friends to get online in the Public Beta.  We want you to spread the word about SOCOM and share the experience with your friends so get down to your local GameStop and pick up your voucher or pre-order here.

So it's September 1st, has anyone played in the Beta? I have to wait until September 8th.

the beta got delayed till the 5th and the quor got delayed tell the 12th
