The 28th see's the launch of the U3 beta, can't wait to see it in action. It will be available to people who bought Infamous 2, and PS+ members and everyone on the 4th of July.

sweet.

There has been some content on the store that the plus discount does not apply to if you're not a normal member, i'd think it'll be limited to those that have paid for plus.

krudler · 26-06-2011 06:57PM

when does the free psn+ thing end?

Notorioux · 26-06-2011 07:44PM

Hell yeah can't wait! Got up to level 60 on U2 with pretty decent k/d.

It's available for a month along with the rest of the welcome back pack, not sure how long is left on it tho.

This should be a laugh, bound to get a few boardsies on each night.

In fairness we all paid for "+", as it's a welcome back from sony.
If they disqualified people because they did not pay for it...hmm, good PR...not.

I've no interest in PS+(Fallout 3 dlc was nice - that's all), I've also no interest in U3 mp beta, but if they disqualified people because they're not "paid up" members, it would be an interesting move.

Zero-Cool · 27-06-2011 12:33AM

Ya would be crap if they decided to hold back on certain things with PS+. I got infamous 2 so i'll def be on this and looking forward to it. The beta is available to everyone next week so everyone will be on at some stage, ps+ or not.

In fairness that is what betas are all about, ironing out the creases.

So if you don't have a code from Infamous 2, and your using the welcome back PS+, your more or less screwed? Seeing as you can neither download the beta using the welcome back PS+ nor can you buy a PS+ subscription whilst using the welcome back PS+.

Zero-Cool · 27-06-2011 04:40PM

Someone must be able to clear this up if it will work for welcome back pack ps+?

Zero-Cool · 27-06-2011 04:51PM

Well Yahoo news seems to think welcome back ps+ users will get early access to the beta as well

Found this link that shows you will unlock rewards in the full retail version by completing tasks in the Beta. I can't get onto it in work. Can someone post the tasks and rewards please?

Sound man! Excellent, achivements for beta play. This beta is gonna be awesome! Gonna expect the odd glitches and packed servers but can't wait to play this! Feel like buying Uncharted 2 again after I finish Infamous 2!

I only played a small bit of MP on Uncharted 2, anyone here spend a lot of time on it? Does it keep you going or get boring after a while?

Edit: just read on gamefaqs the download will be 1.7GB's. Then again, it's gamefaqs so dunno how true it is.

No prob bud!

Played fair amount of time with U2 multiplayer myself, i actually got up to level 60 on my two account lol

It's a decent multiplayer back in the day when it was on 1.04 update, but then naughty dog released an update and completely broke their game. :mad:

Zero-Cool · 28-06-2011 05:37AM

Ya I was reading in other places how an update killed the MP with awful lag. How was this not fixed. From what i'm reading, it's kind of putting me off getting U2 again for MP.

Anyway, beta today!! For anyone who hasn't seen, trailer for the beta and 10 minute preview of the beta:
