Nice find!

 

[Inferno313]

I'm not sure if you'll be able to download the Beta with that free month of Plus...

Why do you say that? As far as I can tell there are no other limitations on the free month, are there? It seems to me that for this month I've been, for all intents and purposes, no different then a paying Plus member.

There are. For example, at least in europe you couldn't download the Infamous 2 Trial version.

 

[magicaltrevor]

From what I understand, there is splitscreen in U3 now.
At least for co-op.

Do you guys know if we'll be able to join competitive matches in splitscreen as well, like in Black Ops?

Would be awesome.

O and, can guests login with their own PSN ID, like in Resistance 2?
That's a big miss in Black Ops.

Edit: Found this on the PS.Blog. I guess it's for both then, splitscreen and co-op.

“You don’t have to be on some guest account,” Richmond said. “You and your friend can sit down in splitscreen and level up both of your characters. We support two different PSN ID logins.”

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

I'm not even excited for this and I have no idea why.

Possibly franchise fatigue?

 

[Yamibito]

Rad, shouldn't take too long to download. I hope Europe gets it at the same time.

It's too bad you're tied to your own account this time around, because it usually shows up earlier in some stores.

wow that blows, will have to hope my ps+ trial lets me get it.

I don't think so, unfortunately.

A friend is having the same issue. Can't buy a PS+ subscription because his free month is still active. See:

[Duffyside]

Dude. With all the talk about "betas" all the time with every game these days, sometimes it just becomes an echo-chamber and the reality of the situation doesn't hit you until much later.

Dudes! We get to play Uncharted 3 multiplayer tomorrow! That is so rad!

The 1.7 has been in the OP for a few hours now. I happened to catch it on twitter before it posted here.

 

[Fersis]

Anyone has a spare code?

if I can get in through PSN+ I'll pm you the code I got with Infamous 2

You didn't get the free PS+ thing?

I dont want a silly + symbol beside my PSN ID >8(

Alright, I expect we'll all be level 25 by the end of the night, correct?

I know I will be. I would've made it to 50 in the first beta but my stats were reset twice, at level 35 and then 47; and during the second beta/MP demo I made it to level 58, I could have hit 60 but I wanted to save that for retail to give me something to shoot for.

If 25 in U3 is equivalent to 50ish in U2, it'll take me 3 days.

Rad, shouldn't take too long to download. I hope Europe gets it at the same time.

Lets see, 1.7GB would take me 170 minutes to download but since PSN came back from the hack-attack, my times have been cut in half. So, hopefully only 80-90 minutes.

I need better internet...

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Well hopefully it appears early in the evening 1.7GB will take me an hour and a half I think.

so true, I usually downloaded stuff at 2-3 MB per second but since they restored the service after the hack I download at 100% speed (5 MB/s), so if everything goes well it should be downloaded in 7 minutes... a shame sometimes installation takes longer than downloads depending on the empty space you got left in your hard drive.

more often because you still have something downloading ... stop all downloads before you install, will make the install go MUCH faster..

yh 1.7gb is no longer than 5min install unless other data is being written to your drive, e.g a download

thanks for the tip

and I misread the size, if it's 1700 MB I should have it in 6-7 minutes. 1700 / 300 (potential max) = 5.6

another tip.. make sure you have Media-server turned off.. it makes the downloads go faster.

never used the media server feature so it's been off from day 1, but sure enough I've been installing a lot of stuff while downloading in the background, from now on I'll pause those downloads before installing. Maybe an option for next firmware (auto pause/resume of background downloads when installing content to the hard drive) ?

 

[JCreasy]

Happy Uncharted 3 MP BETA-EVE!!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So you take a code away from someone who would actually need it, just not to have a plus next to your name?

Not cool.

Do you not have any spare accounts that you could use?

 

[PhiLonius]

Could I possibly?
I have JUST bought my very first ever Playstation, and have bought myself the uncharted 1, 2, inFAMOUS, MGS4, and MAG.
Very excited to get stuck in to Uncharted series!

Check your PM box.

I registered my PSN ID under Argentina, and since we dont have a Regional PSN Store so im not allowed to have PSN+

You should've registered it with AMERICA FUCK YEAH. Will the code even work on an Argentinian account?

Nope it wont work but i can redeem it with my US Account.

 

[alr1ght]

codes are country specific

My head is full of fuck.

Why don't you use your US account to get the free PS+? If it works for me, it should work for you.

Some #uncharted3 MP Beta info - Should be on PSN around 2PM PDT tomorrow (but Naughty Dog doesn't control this), ~1.7GB, runs thru July 13th

That's been around the time the store updates since post-hack, hopefully Chen doesn't play around tomorrow.

Holy shit.

This takes me like 10 minutes. You might want to activate Remote Play, start the DL early.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

In honor of U2 I will share my most satisfying BBQ ever:

Match starts on Sanctuary and I run right to this BBQ and throw it onto the red tower on the Hammer side


My teammate is fighting 3 guys down here but I can't get an angle to help and he dies


I see Lazarevic running for the Hammer and...


Flynn starts following and I thought "No way!"


Boom...



I was quite proud of myself

 

[Lince]

Thanks Lince but ill try Jett's advice.

ok then I'll give it away to someone else, preferably anyone with a Spain PSN account since beta codes seems to be country specific.

That's not a sentence I ever thought I'd read.

I hope Uncharted 3's multiplayer grabs me more than 2's did. Nothing against the game, I just never made it past level 25.

 

[jett]

One of my favorite kills was killing an cluster of four Chloes with a single grenade. Good times...

My no look grenade pass is ready

You guys really think it won't work for the free month of PS+? Isn't it essentially... a month of the service everyone else is getting?

I dont think sony is smart enough to figure out how to exclude the free ones. SO if ps+ gets it, every ps+ will get it

as someone who was an uncharted fan since the original day 1 (had to talk so many people into this game) i can wait until the 4th

 

[Kaiken]

Ahh, finally!
Looking forward to this Beta. I've read a couple times that free trial plus members should be worried about getting in tomorrow. Any indications as to why?

Seems to be a lot of misinformation. From what I've been able to tell, everybody is getting in, regardless of how they got PS+.

 

[Facism]

NEEEEEEEXT HYYPPPPPPPE.

If i get in through the PS+ free sub, i'll be looking at the UK GAFe Hero Kings to take receipt of my infamous 2 code.

 

[Darkatomz]

Mannnnn I really hope ND ends up extending this beta. Do they really expect that much traffic this weekend in the US? I'm gonna be so damn busy
