604 60

Here’s an update about the status of the MAG Public Beta email vouchers. The first wave of voucher codes for the MAG Beta will be e-mailed to all current Qore subscribers beginning today and continuing over the next few days. Follow the instructions so that you’ll be ready to download the Beta and jump in when the test starts this Thursday, September 17. The email subject line will be:

“You’re in: Welcome to the MAG Beta”

And, the email voucher will look like this:

Qore MAG Beta

Remember, you only have 4 days left to get in on the action as the Public Beta entry deadline for Qore subscribers is this Thursday, September 17. Please allow at least 5 business days for delivery once you subscribe.

Qore subscribers will have access to the MAG Beta Test from September 17 through November 8. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10am-1pm and 5-8pm Pacific (PDT).

Once again, here are the eligibility requirements:

  • The Qore MAG Beta offer is open to Qore subscribers only, not to single episode purchasers.
  • All Beta invitations are restricted to persons 18 years and older.
  • We must have your current, valid e-mail address on file.
  • You must be opted in to receiving communications from PlayStation.
  • Vouchers will be sent to the e-mail associated with the PSN account that purchased the Qore subscription, not to any sub-accounts.

You can update your e-mail address and check your notification preferences via your profile on PS.com or on the PS3 itself under Account Management/Account Information. Be sure that you have “opted in” to receive our communications.

We hope you enjoy the MAG Beta, and don’t forget to leave your feedback at Beta Central by following the instructions in the voucher e-mail. As this is a Beta is a work-in-progress and not representative of the final game, your input is vital.

  • OK WHO doesnt want their CODE??.. i’ll take it.. cause i got a yr of Quore on the 16th, and i cant wait till it get here..lol

  • why does the download stop and freeze at 99%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf plz help

  • you know what i got the same problem also, its stuck on 99% for 8hours now and it finally booted me lol

  • today is now the 18 and i subscribed on the 11 of the month and i still have not received it. Dat sucks greatly and its worse for those who hear our friends talk about it. When is the next wave of codes being sent out?

  • 5 long buisness days to wait :(

  • @450, I’m a Canadian and I did get a code…but it won’t work. It says it’s invalid. I think it must be a conspiracy…

  • hi kev im getting really concerned as it has been 2 full days now and still no email is there any way you could check for me as to what is being done as i have already sent an email to sony and they still havent replied and this is the only way that i can get feed back on the situation thanx aot kev

  • ok well its bean a day so far and no email so it did say 48 hours tho so yeah anyone want to play fat princess or LBP

  • hi, i want to give my help to the beta i have seen many bugs but i can’t get inside MAG central, i can barely play the mag beta cause server red error all time, i have try to get inside like 200 times i have only play 5,

  • Ok. Seriously guys. Nearly 3 gigs and it goes slower then molasses and gets stuck… This is worse then the MGS online beta. I just want to play the game. I resubscribed to QORE to get it and it’s enarly a sham “Play between X and Y times for a few hours when the solar cylce is in alligned with the first moon every 3rd month and is at 3/4 full” This is a joke first of all.

    I was Downloading all morning and it got stuck at 39% after about 5 hours. I have fios and a amazing connection. 1.2 gig demos take about 20 minutes normally. get your act together… I am very upset and would cry and moan for a Qore refund if ithought it would be any help. very upset with this. Get it right next time. At least make it a background DLable thing so I can do something else and it saves my DL progress…

    I have beta tested a great number of PS3 and PC games. This beta is an Epic Fail. Let us at least DL it from the PS store… What a joke.

  • it was 5 hors downloading this beta seriusly, most of the time stoping, TERE IS A SERIUS PROBLEM WITH THAT SERVER!!

  • Come on man WTF?

  • wish i got a code :(

  • I too am having download problems. Going on third attempt now. Downloads to 99% with just over 2mb left and thats that. Let it sit at 99% for several hours hoping that it had something to do with the servers having to be online….nada.

    Tis a sad, sad day…

  • CALL SONY EVERYONE AND TELL THEM THE PROBLEM AND I GUESS WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT

  • Another EPIC FAIL

  • ok so i subscribed to qore on the 16th at 11pm :( bit of a procrastinator, i forgot to opt in before i got my subscription so i did it lke 15 mins after, i was just wondering if i will still get my code, i know i have to allow 5 days but i just wanted to clarify…

    Thanks for your time!

  • Just wanted you guy’s to know that I just received a response from Customer service form I filled out online and sent in at about 5:pm pst. Not even 24hrs later the response included a beta code. Thank you Kevin for the information & time you have provided in this forum. Also Sony customer support for your timely response & solution. Everyone else just read the forums, & do what has worked for people in gettin’ your beta codes.

  • I really want to play, but at least I bought infamous the same day the beta started lol

  • this download is [DELETED]. haven’t heard no one talk about actually playing the game. HAS ANYONE ON HERE PLAYED YET..WTF!!!!

    oh by the way INTV infamous is one hell of a game.

  • Seriously guys? A gigabyte of update data? you want beta users to download a gigabyte of data over the playstation network whose max transfer rate is 2400 baud? How ’bout letting us download it from a pc at slightly faster speeds and import the update from a memory stick, thumb drive, or even an external hard drive. Not a good start. Not a good start at all.

  • I’m a Qore subscriber and I did it 2 months ago. So are you guys just giving out Beta codes all week or just out of the hat. I know it on till Nov. but I’m just asking.

  • I too am having problems with the beta. I download 20% and then get a can’t connect to server error. I have an update of over 2600 mb to download. This is crazy. I haven’t been able to play.

  • to what i read on another blog its an error they are having, it gets to 99% and it will stay there, they are working on getting it fixed

  • Hey atlease You guys got the beta code im pissed because i waited the 48 hours and my reponse didint have a code in it im *******************************

  • hey atlest yous got the beta code i waited the time for my reponse and it didint have a beta code in it

  • 489 yes the beta works lol their not [DELETED] retards, but my friend is having a problem finishing the DL.

  • I can’t get on the server and when i do it just downloads stuff????

  • Can you guys please extend the beta into the weekend? I really want to play. I don’t care if there are problems, just extend the hours.

  • The magazine’s reputation qore did not reach to the Home

    How the way to be sent to my

  • I received my MAG beta code two days before the 17th, obviously excited with anticipation over those two days waiting for Thursday to finally arrive.

    The times of play were a little disheartening but nothing I couldn’t deal with. Upon downloading the initial 360 MB file which took approximately 2 minutes and the update to 1.20 which was 60 MB took another 30 seconds I was ready to see how this worked out.

    Much to my surprise I had to wait for a 2.6GB download. A little bit more of a setback, but nothing I couldn’t deal with. Left it alone and went and did other stuff.
    Came back 4 hours later … 10MBit connection mind you, and its at 92%, and not moving.

    Cutting the story short. This is the fifth time I have tried to download the files, and yet again, I am stuck above 90%. (Currently it sits at 99%, (2655.85 / 2661.35 MB))

    I’m very disappointed. I’ve noticed that there are no official responses anymore since the beta launched on thursday, so grats to you guys that got in, I hope you have fun, I am envious :(. If someone actually does read this, I would really appreciate at least a word that someone was looking into it.
