Yes, the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial really is coming! Just like its predecessor, the multiplayer mode for Killzone 3 will be put through rigorous testing at the hands of the toughest, most demanding critics in existence: you, the fans. The Trial starts on October 25th and access is limited to 5,000 U.S. Plus subscribers, so please read the following instructions carefully if you want to know how to secure a spot in the Public Beta:
- Be(come) a Plus subscriber
- With the exception of a handful of key media partners and selected PAX feedback participants, access to the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial is limited to PlayStation Plus subscribers. If you’re not enjoying the many benefits of Plus membership yet, now’s the time to sign up!
- Download the theme
- On October 19th, an exclusive Killzone 3 XMB Theme will appear in the Plus section of the PlayStation Store. The first 10,000 Plus subscribers to download this theme (5,000 U.S. Plus subscribers and 5,000 European Plus subscribers) will receive access to the Public Beta Trial.
- Check your email
- After you’ve downloaded the Killzone 3 XMB Theme, you will receive an email on Oct. 25th containing the Public Beta Trial promotion code and further instructions through the address you registered as your PSN Sign-In ID. Make sure you’ve set your notification preferences to accept emails from SCE, or we won’t be able to contact you.
Those of you who make it into the Public Beta Trial are expected to provide honest gameplay feedback, report bugs and glitches, and help test our network code in real-world scenarios. In short, we’re counting on you to help us improve Killzone 3! In return you’ll get a good taste of the multiplayer mode, including its brand-new Operations game type, party system, and jetpack and exoskeleton vehicles.
And if that doesn’t convince you to take a shot at the Public Beta Trial, maybe this new trailer will:
ohhh not its US and CANADIANS
God I can’t wait for Monday :-)
ITS GONE NOW HAHAHAHAHA
nope still there
Wouldn’t show up for a while, but I finally got it. Probably didn’t get in the first 5,000 thought. :sigh:
1000+ ratings. Wow.
we wont know if we got it till the 25th people
guys if you don’t see the theme in the ps plus section, restart your playstation store or your ps3 and check again..it’s only at about 1000 ratings you still have time
@DarkRoad
Sad but true!
I’m sure not everybody’s rating it. Could be well over 5000 by now. Hope you guys get it though.
@DarkRoad
If you refreshed once and you didn’t see it like 15 minutes ago, and then refreshed it again and you saw it for the first time, you probably made it.
Will it disappear When the first 5000 downloads are used?
hmm wonder why it went and came back up :S maybe the quota is up but they are still giving away kz3 themes now ?
I hate that Playstation Plus exists.
I was thinking maybe the quota was up too was the reason it went then came back.

Wow, this is a slap in the face to everyone that cannot wait up until 10PM Eastern time to download the theme. Once again, Sony marketing and PlayStation Store team failed.
Dude, I’m in NY and just downloaded it at 7:15pm EST, I dont know where your getting “cannot wait up until 10pm EST”….since I JUST DOWNLOADED IT 10 MINUTES AGO LOL
Well it’s been fun guys wasting a a day for this theme, but I had fun. Thanks Sony. Now time for some games, medal of honor , or MLB the show 10????????????? Ubetter out

Man that was intense. Minutes before it went live I took a nap and then checked my android phone and you people posting you got it! I ran and turned my ps3 on.I downloaded it when it was at a 100 rating. Dats crazy.
it might be to late.. not everybody ratess…. but still give it a try… think: 4,999 download and 1600 ratings… think abt it
i didnt rate either !
like 10 people rated it within secounds of it coming up I know I was the 11th to rate it :D
Ya I was like the 58th or 59th. Can’t remember which now that all the adrenalin’s gone lol.
When I rated it I was 61. I had downloaded it before rating so who knows. Someone said it went live at 7:13. I got it at 7:14-7:15. Hope 2 see you folk on the 25………..Peace
maybe I can even play with my brother even though he doesn’t have plus hopefully content sharing works :D
Ya I hope sharing works too.

Awesome, i already subscribed to PLayStation Plus so im happy guy =D
it was at 87 rates when i dled it xD
Why do some people on plus already have there email sent to them..beta key emails go out on the 25th right?
I dont think anyone has gotten the beat invite. They’re saying they downloaded the theme…
Have any of you people complaining actually looked into subscribing? $17.00 gets you 3 months. I gladly paid that to get a chance at KZ3 beta and I get 3 months of Qore for free plus other things. Stop whining about it and get a damn job!
so do you still get the beta if you paid 17 dollars(3 months)
@ GG Games can you help secure me a spot i cant help but think what if i was the 5001st peson to download the theme OHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!
I rated it in between 15-45 so either 4955 people didn’t rate it before i downloaded it, or i made it into the beta, that’s what i get for refreshing the store all freaking day. can’t wait for the 25th to come.
I can’t believe it! I got in the beta and I’m not a member of PS Plus… wow thanks you SCEA… This is my first ever beta I participated in… Thank you SCEA You know I’m a loyal fan since 1998 when I got my Playstation1.
Someone PLEASE tell them to make it WAY better than Killzone 2. I played 2 and didn’t last ten minutes before quitting for the huge issues. One, aiming and movement are terrible and clunky. And, if you can see a guy, you should be able to shoot him. In the very beginning of KZ2, there were dudes crouching behind crates, so I shot at their heads. But, the image of them was bigger than their programmed size, or the crate’s image was larger than its actual size, because I couldn’t shoot them in the head, even though it was clearly visible.
I’ll read to see if people are having those problems before I even consider trying the game.
Anyone get an invite to the beta, yet?
