Shouldn't this be alot more hyped than it actually is by Sony? I would think we would have heard more about it before this point. Has anyone in Japan heard anything about the bet-ah coming out tomorrow?

So you are saying they are just going to start the beta without telling anyone. You would think they would have mentioned it you know some time this week.

So if this is real then the beta will appear on the PSN store? And if I have a japanese account I can download it and run it?

I forgot, still somewhat hungover. Sorry. So I guess it isn't happening? WHYYYY. I mean that leaked PSN list said June/July so I would think they would get bet-ah going by April at the latest.

I think the big stuff usually goes up around early afternoon, Japan time.

They update outside of Thursdays sometimes.

Man now you guys have got me worked up. It would be stupid for a Japan beta if they allowed US PS3's with JPN accounts on. I'd def sign up if it comes out.

Why would it be stupid? It's not going to be a Beta for product feedback, it'll just be a stress test, and I don't think there has been any region locked online content at all so far. If it goes up on the Japanese store I don't think anyone would be prevented from using it.

I doubt Johnnyram was lying, it's possible he got bad info though.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm not saying Jonnyram was lying. What you said is exactly how I feel. I think some bad or inaccurate information got leaked.

Because if it's a stress test and they are only allowing the Japanese, they are doing it because they are the smallest population. If they assume it's only japan and everyone who's interested is NA and EUR make Jap accounts to go on the server will take a dump. Then we'll have home be released sometime in 09.

I'm all for home and I want it out to play today, but I can wait if it means they don't release it and have it seize for all the xbox fanboys to troll about or the PS3 fans of home to lose hope. Plus to be honest, I don't think they have enough free bubble makers :D

Well... the European PS forum id <--> PSN id sync was put off by 1 month, so something may have been delayed.

Well the day isn't over so all hope is not lost. However a delay in it's launch wouldn't surprise me as they may have decide to hold back and launch it worldwide.

It's only 10:30 here, I doubt you'll see something if anything for another 2 hours.

this is the correct answer.

I was outside their office last week.... it was all i could do to stop myself from doing a dirty protest on their doormat


EDIT: I love the way there are people in this thread who really think japan is getting the open beta of an SCEE developed service first.

Yes, begin the open beta test trials in a nation which views VOIP chat intrusive, online gaming an afterthought and In-Game messaging as SPAM. You seriously have to wonder what these idiots at Sony are thinking sometimes. This is the kind of stupidity that validates the resignation of Harrison. I can only imagine the input they'll receive and respective modifications they'll make / cripple.

Why would I do that? He said it as if there was no question, so who am I to turn it into one?

Just wait and see! That's most of the fun!

Lets make it even funner then :D

How about this then:

If the beta doesn't come out today, he gets banned untill it does.
If the beta does come out today, I get banned for 2weeks.

Deal JonnyRam?

Certainly he might have gotten some false information, but Jonnyram doesn't lie. He is one of the first sources for weekly Famitsu news/scans, too. Other websites often steal his scans/pics and use them as their own.

Why would that be so strange? Isn't the closed beta US only?

Considering the most recent (official) pics we have are in Japanese, it's not that farfetched.

In this thread we have people getting more excited about the potential beta of a product than the actual product.
This entices me towards the product?
