294 8

Killzone fans! We know you are eager to join the Killzone 3 Multiplayer Open Beta and the team at Guerrilla Games has been hard at work finalizing the content. The good news is that the beta is looking better than ever and we can’t wait for you to try for yourself. Unfortunately, we’re here to report that we will have a slight delay on the beta availability. The open beta was originally set to begin on Wednesday, February 2nd, but will now be available on Thursday, February 3rd at 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time.

Killzone 3: Multiplayer open beta

To make it up to you, we will be giving away 60 Killzone 3 Limited Helghast Editions (not sold in stores) to players who participate in the Open Beta this weekend. The Limited Helghast Edition contains all the same elements as the retail version of the Helghast Edition, but features a Helghast Helmet replica with illuminated LED eyes, simulating Helghasts’ glowing mask. What makes this truly “Limited” is that we’ve only made 1000 of them. Keep your eyes on the PlayStation.Blog to see how else we’ll be giving these away.

Killzone 3: Limited Helghast Edition

So, log on and play the Killzone 3 Multiplayer Open Beta from Friday, February 4th through Sunday, February 6th. We will be randomly selecting 20 participants each day who are playing in the Open Beta and notify winners via the email address associated with each entrant’s PSN account between February 10th, 2011 and February 18th, 2011. Check out the full rules below. Good luck this weekend!

Non-compliance with these Official Rules or failure to return all required documentation by the stated deadline or Sponsor’s inability to contact an entrant (using the contact information provided in his or her registration) within a reasonable time period, as determined by Sponsor’s sole discretion may result in disqualification and the forfeiture of the prize.

  • This old man will be there with his cane in hand!

  • Is this promotion available in Canada too? Iread through the rules, and found nothing stating its US only. I’m interesyed to find out, as I totally plan to be on top of it when it can be downloaded, and have a choice, participate in this promo for possibly a free copy of the Helghast Edition, or play BlackOps for double XP, which if I stick to CTF, is alot of xp, enough to prestige again (will be 6th prestige, I don’t hack or cheat, I take the good with the bad.)

  • I hope i win one!!!! :)

  • damn, NM….BlackOps it is….stupid US only.

  • so uhm since i have jakesplace as a friend and if i play with them, is thier a good chance ill get limited edition?

  • guys, read RULE #1, “Killzone 3 Multiplayer Open Beta Sweepstakes (the “Promotion”) is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry…”

    its for U.S. residents of the 50 states only…and if you are over 18…

  • I want, but I bet I won’t get it just like I can’t advance in the PlayStation rewards beta no matter how much I play or do the quests.

  • Ok this has been asked several times but has yet to be answered from what ive seen how exactly are the entries for the contest gained is it 1 per day? or is it 1 entry per full game match? or is it 1 entry each time you load up KZ3? Would be helpful to know this cause some of us (i know this is tru for me) cant play all day long and can probably do a few matches before i need to do something important. So if this can be answered im sure alot of us who are curious how this will work would truly appreciate it.

  • is the beta just going to put on the Store front or do we have to register somewhere?

  • Another U.S. only contest, lame…

  • Canada gets shut out yet again, so lame

  • sony my birthday is on feb 28 it will make a really good present wink wink…

  • I HAVE A QUESTION (Sorry for the caps lock, just trying to stand out.)

    Do we get an entry every time we play a match, how long we play, OR every time we come in and out of the game?

    For example, do we need to quit the entire game then go back in to get multiple entries?

  • only american… AGAIN
    [DELETED] Sony stop discriminating Europe

  • Figures, I’ll probably be on the road working this weekend. Hopefully, I can find a hotel with a decent WiFi connection to get a little bit of beta time in. Already pre-ordered the Helghast edition from amazon. the day it was posted.

  • OMG OMG OMG I want can’t wait to get back into this beta…
    Question though I know the SP demo is supposed to support move but will the open beta? I was in the PS+ beta and it didn’t have move support but I have been waiting to test it out as I hear really good things

  • So If i happen to win one of these will I get the jet pack for home as well?

  • I could have had the beta by now =/

  • No love for Canada :(

  • thats just perfect i had my hopes up until they said only to Us :(

  • I wish they beta came out today bc im snowed in with nothing to do!! :((

  • Common! they always leave us canadians out!
    i mean there r times where they say in North america, and next thing u know its only in USA?! i mean wat r we not a part of north america anymore lol, last time i checked we owned more of this continent then the US did xD

  • Are Canadians going to be able to win some of the other 1000 copies?

  • omg…I can’t wait..to get started in the open Beta..
    just a question..do u have to start all over again despite playing in the closed beta..or is their a way to get your stats back from the closed beta?!??!?
    Anyway..I want one of those reward heheheh!! can’t wait!
    Thanks sooo muchh!!

  • If we are have a Killzone 3 beta client downloaded, do we need to download the new one that will come in the store, or do we just log on with the one we already have downloaded from the previous beta?

  • I want that helmet.

  • NOOOOOOOOOO!

    I shall go die now.

  • So, will there be future giveaways etc that other regions such as Canada, Mexico and others can participate in?

    It’s a slap in the face to the loyal customers in those regions.

  • Please please, let me win the Limited Helghast Edition. Come on Lucky Dice. BTW for participating, do you need to be opted-in to marketing? Thanks for all your hard work.

  • nearly 200 comments later what are my chances of winning this thing huh….

    wish i could win into the socom 4 beta too

  • Wish I could be able this beta all weekened long but too bad I have to fly out of the country for two weeks.

  • @fuzzyclutter
    they can easily give Canadians a chance by stating in the contest rules ‘ everyone who participates and gets at least 1 kill in a match ‘ is eligible

    that will meet the requirements for a skill based challenge same as answering a question .

    it’s not as if the law say you have to answer a question . just that you show a skill

    or for canadians they just get a question at the start of the beta to activate it ….. ask what year did killzone 2 debut ? the user answers , the beta loads , you have met the requirements to enter a sweepstakes .

    why can’t u.s. companies figure that out ?
    We canadians can win prizes by showing any type of skill from guess a number of jellybeans in a jar to draw a straight line , or even answer what’s 3 plus 3 times 2 ( 12 btw ) after you are chosen to win .

  • can’t wait….i been waiting for this open beta

  • When is Killzone 3 coming in the PSN Turkey?

  • I’m getting really tired of these collector’s editions that aren’t being offered in stores. I understand they are used as bait/rewards for the contests, but I’m still getting tired of this. I would have gladly paid the extra money for The Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition, but that certainly wasn’t possible since it wasn’t available to purchase in stores. This new edition really makes me irate.

    “features a Helghast Helmet replica with illuminated LED eyes”

    I realize that there are a lot of extras being thrown in the Helghast Edition, but come on! For the $130 that the Helghast Edition is retailing for, the illuminated LED eyes should have come standard! I’m still getting the Helghast Edition and I’m still very excited for Killzone 3, but I’m just tired of these secret collector’s editions that Sony has seemingly decided to make a part of their marketing strategy. Any collector’s edition of the game should be made available to the public for purchase, or at least that’s what I feel. Would three different versions of Killzone 3 (standard, Helghast, Limited Helghast) really be that tough to manage? I’m just tired of this.

  • Once again you give Canada the middle finger…

  • That’s pretty cool but I was already thinking of doing that…haha! It would be rather easy to throw some red LEDs into the eyes n hook em to a battery, I do much harder than that everyday… Can’t wait to try out the beta though

  • All these years and Sony/Playstation have never offered anything to Canadians, shame on you.

  • Sweet, I’m going to play each day in hopes of winning a copy, I play the PSN+ beta and loved it and couldn’t get enough of it.

  • AWESOME doubt i will win though but definitely would be awesome

  • Hey guys, I canceled my Helghast edition preorder.

    I will be renting the game and then buying it second hand.

    This is for giving us, Canadians, the middle finger.
