GameXtract writes "Reports across the Playstation forums are indicating that Playstation 3 users are starting to receive their beta codes, and are able to start downloading the game. Not only are people furiously starting to download the beta, but some who received a code are choosing to trade it in exchange for the Home beta. Looks like we got some beta trading going on here. Let us know if you manage to get into the beta or not in the comments section below! Good luck!"
Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my
love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer
online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a
new SOCOM game.
Baffles me as to why they have not done anything with this franchise. Seeing as how it was #1 on the official PlayStation poll.
With all the trash put up weekly on the App Store why has nobody done a clone of this yet. I've been playing Defiance as my go to 3rd person since 2013 but still nothing like that old school Socom/Socom 2 up all night gameplay.
the only game on that list that's like socom is wild land if you want socom type games then you will have to invest in a PC
RAINBOW SIX: is the closest you'll get to Socom.
Also, in response to @lookatthisi
They let go the creators, and I think socom is a game that's hard to clone even the creators had a hard time making Socom 2, Socom 3.

"Would you purchase a game you can’t play for a single penny? Video game retailer GameStop seems to think that it is worth trying to sell to this market."
Depends the situation. Usually if they have a trade in X and get Y bonus for preowned purchases, a store will let you have the excess credit if you make 1 purchase and 1 cent is cheap enough where I wouldn't have to bother returning it or eating the cost out of laziness.

MAG will be missed, my all-time favorite shooter. They're shutting servers down in January.
Someone who got in please tell me what you think. I barely played SOCOM for PS2.
would you trade in a beta for a game to get into something that is eventually going to come out this year for free. Socom you can play for a month then you have to buy it. I would never trade my beta key to get into home.
I will be online in 45 minutes. I just got my code 5 minutes ago. PSN ID: StLouisDL
SOCOM taking forever to download I'm at only at 35% in 20 mins. PSN: EnglishPatriot
I have never had problems download demos or anything from the PSN network...but hey I have my stuff set up on a 802.11N network (I know the PS3 is only G) and I have a 15 Meg connection with 2 meg up and the new roadrunner turbo boost...so i get like 25 megs down at times.
All the QORE people will get into socom next week.....Does anybody know if Socom can be launched from HOME?
