Visiting my mother for a few weeks, she had knee surgery. She killed my PS3, slid it against the wall of a bookshelf while cleaning. I was doing yard work for an hour, had uncharted paused.

Now it'll turn on, no image, no sound, no DS3 response, nothing. It's in a coma, i suppose.

Has anyone heard of Canadian Home testers at all?

I've done several betas for Sony, so I'm kinda surprised I was never asked. Will download theme and hope for the best I guess...

I'm a girl!

I've bought a fair bit off of the store, but I don't play online games. Hope that won't count against me :(

Gonna call Sony today and see what they'll do for me. This is the replacement unit they sent me after my first one broke.

The huge downside is the 320GB HDD I have in this one, and like a genius, I sold my 60GB.

Epic fail.

Im euro and trough a good friend on GAF i buy usa content with an US account, ive bought like $150 rockband DLC, 1 year subscription of qore, and a shitload of PSN games. But because im Euro i probably wont get in. Lame.

Cant buy shit on euro store since i dont have a creditcard, and no PSN cards planned, stupid move sony, stupid move.

Nice! We need a whole lot more people in the beta, it's usually a ghost town when there isn't some special event or something.:D

I'm contemplating getting an 80GB, swapping the drives, sending this back to Sony, and then...uhh...having a spare system?

Gamer Advisory Panel. And Sony just emails you if you're signed up to their website. So there's no real way to definitely get in.

Well, nothing major...just that the beta codes are going to be distributed thru today's Qore. (even though pre-ordering will supposedly be quicker like the SOCOM beta)

Yep, there's quite a few of us. We're all grouped into one beta group for North America.

Huh? I thought support would take care of your HDD.
Click to expand...

I don't know, last time I got a refurb, fresh, nothing on the HDD. Good thing I backed up all my old data off of my HDD on the first unit. This one...well, the last time I backed up was pre-HDD install, which kinda sucks, but at least I have the majority of my save data (none for eden, which blows hard!).

But, if I get another system, i'll swap the drives and back up teh save files, and see how it pans out.

Ha! I own 30 PSN games with all the dlc and 11 disc games. I'm also a trophy whore with way too much free time in the day. If that doesn't qualify me for the beta, then they can cram it. The beta is currently full of people who really don't care. The way I see it, they owe me a slot. :lol PEACE.

I've spent 1% of my time logged into PSN (if even), never bought anything from the store and never played a game online. Oh and I think that theme is ugly! So theres no chance for me! :lol


Cool to see the raffle thing appear outside of Japan PSN though, its about time!

So you guys posting that you like the theme are really being serious?

From the screen in the OP, it looks pretty awesome to me. Simple lines, not many colors, good looking icons... very nice.

In Europe, SCEE is also beginning their expanded closed beta, directly targeting consumers who have been most active on PLAYSTATION Network and PLAYSTATION Store. SCEE will be in email contact with their PSN audience very shortly.

well, I even bought crappy pain characters so they have to choose me. The only games I do not own from the store are MK2 and toy racer.

Also, I downloaded every fucking demo in there, that should count as well. Do you hear me Sony!! *shakes fist*

Well, probably they won't choose me but instead my retarded neighbor that only plays neez for speez and splinter cell :(

So.. I assume said theme will be up later tonight?
Click to expand...

And early downloaders will never make it to the application list because as with most things they do with the store, things are sure to be out of sync everywhere and the downloads probably won't trigger applications until midday tomorrow... worst part is, you'll never know it.

Same here, and I have been a Playstation Underground Member since 1996 :lol

Plus, I wonder if the people that beta tested Warhawk will get in. Hell, I finished 12th overall in the beta in points and that alone took a bazillion hours.

I'm a member of lots of PS related things. But all with stupid different email addresses.

I only ever play WH online (+a bit of Burnout!).

Despite that I have a trump card. I purchased Qbert. And a crapload of other stuff. Pick me Sony!

The theme is pretty nice IMO. Hope it comes on the Euro store regardless of Home lottery or not.

Cool. I will download.

But our activities on PSN sure doesn't give them a fucking clue why guy1 or guy2 should be good at beta testing there or not.

I mean i have 5 years of experience in quality assurance, i should be priorised in their selection really.
