Whore Your Way Into The US Resistance 2 Beta
by Chad Lakkis on July 24, 2008 at 2:43 pm
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. However, as he explains on myresistance.net, their will be a pre-order option that will allow the earliest form of access, but that has yet to be announced.
Stevenson’s clarification of the Beta announcement is available below.
Hey guys,
Lots of confusion thanks to the Qore announcement.
Here’s the deal. We are running a Public Beta, and you will have many ways to get in. The best way which will give you the earliest access to the beta will involve a pre-order program that should be announced soon, (for those of you who don’t know what pre-ordering is, you essentially reserve your copy with five dollars down, and that five dollars will go towards the price of the game when it releases).
For all of you folks outside of North America are up in arms because Qore is NA only, please don’t worry. This is one of many ways to get in, and we plan to make the beta available in all territories, as we need to test all servers and worldwide play.
Further details on how to get into the beta will be forthcoming.
I apologize for any confusion that has happened given the various offers beta codes. Rest assured, we understand how excited you all are to play Resistance 2, and we’re going to do our best to make sure the beta program runs as smoothly as possible.
If you have questions, post below. I’ll try to answer over the course of today.

So there you have it. Other options are planned for access, but as for now, the only way in is going to require US residency and three bucks of your hard earned money.

“The best way which will give you the earliest access to the beta will involve a pre-order program that should be announced soon,”
That means that you’ll get into the beta by preordering, not that Qore is the only way to get in….

midwinter,
I misread that initially and have updated the post accordingly.

I would like in, but for some reason there are only 2 Qore episodes that I can choose from plus the whole deal one. Maybe it is going up late on the store for me, but I really want in a lot. Resistance Fall of Man was the first game I bought when I got my PS3, and I loved every minute of it.
TCB!
