Whore Your Way Into The US Resistance 2 Beta

"Want into the Resistance 2 Beta program? Well, if you live in the US you will be able to log into the PSN, buy episode three of Qore (Sony's online monthly subscription based programming) for $2.99, watch some advertisements, and boom - you are cleared for Resistance 2 Beta action.

Of course, according to Insomniac's Community Manager, James Stevenson, this is only one of the many ways you will be able to get into the beta."

@chaosatom,

Pretty sure you can get it anytime before the beta officially releases, but I am not sure.

Can you imagine if you had to buy an entire full priced game to get into the beta? Especially is said game was crap?

At above, what's your point I did too.

But the vast majority had to buy that crappy game. With R2 there will also be people getting in without spending a cent. Those that do spend some money will spend a hell of a lot less than that other game.

See how the joke fails when it has to be explained to certain people?

@Violater

The headline caught your attention, so it appears that the attempt was successful.

2 - What?
"The best way which will give you the earliest access to the beta will involve a pre-order program that should be announced soon"

Looks like it is just like the Socom beta. Qore users get late access.

UK (and other gamers) will apparently have options for entrance into the beta, but he doesn't really mention them in detail.

I don't understand why developers single out the US first, and I live there. I think games should be evenly dispersed across all areas.

I think that the "whore" aspect refers to you allowing them to fill your body with advertisements in exchange for the beta.

A quite vague article , they dont mention if an european buying Qore like some obviously already did for naruto or Socom , would still get beta access or get refused .

Obviously if there is no ip restriction like the video store , of course i'll "forcefully" get inside the beta by buying Qore .

And before some killjoy yells at me for ruining their beta with my "lag inducing" european connection , technically i'm in an Eu island basically next to florida ...

lame, there is no way im going to pay for qore in order to get the beta, that is wicked lame, im sorry, but paying to get into beta's, that sucks. Ill try to find another way to get in, but even for 3 dollars that sucks, i got into the metal gear online beta, buy reserving the game, that might be 5 dollars, but taht was also toward the game, so im pissed if they get most of there beta players that way.

no, the MGO beta was the easiest thing to get into, I myself had over 14 beta keys....
@fullmetal, yes your paying to get into the beta, but isnt it worth 3 dollars to get early access into one of the most anticipated titles of the year?

at 9.2

i agree, it is awesome, but to have people pay for there subscripton in order to get in, that sucks. That is why i haven't liked the idea of qore in the beginning if they started pulling this junk on us. Just like the naruto demo, it was out on qore a week or so before it was released on the psn store, what the hell is with that??? if it was ready for a release why wasn't it on the psn store??? It is a way for them to make money, and to do that they have to pull this on us, it sucks.

It's not "whoring," haha, it's a smart business move if you think about it. How many beta's do we get offered for free on the consoles?? not many.

At least if you want to play it, you can get it for less than a gallon of gas. Not that bad of a deal aye.

who cares about the idiots complaining ...

Moderate fans and neutral folks waiting to get pulled in the pro/anti side , will just wait the finished game or a free access ... while major fans will pay for a peek .

Among the mad people you'll find many that'll lap up every daily news about game coming from the beta anyway . Everyone wins .

It's already been CONFIRMED that pre-orders will get you into the beta. In fact, it's already been CONFIRMED that pre-ordering will be the first chance to get in. I don't know what the fuss is about...
