I'm happy to be able to share information on the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta.

When does it start?
The SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta will start on September 1st and end on September 30th; a whole month of SOCOM goodness.  

How to Get In?
There are two ways to get into the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta

GameStop Preorder Campaign
As some of you may have noticed, we have started an exclusive preorder Public Beta campaign with GameStop.  If you preorder SOCOM: Confrontation at GameStop, not only will you be able to access the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta on day 1 but you will also be able to share the code you receive from Sony PlayStation with two friends as well.  SOCOM is all about team work and what better way to encourage team work than to make it easy for you and a couple of friends to get online in the Public Beta.  We want you to spread the word about SOCOM and share the experience with your friends, so get down to your local GameStop and pick up your voucher or pre-order here. This offer is good if you pre-order with GameStop either in-store or online.

QORE presented by the PLAYSTATION®Network
If you downloaded the June issue of QORE, you, too, will be able to participate.  You will be able to download the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta from within the application starting on September 8th and play through to September 30th.

The Fine Print
This should be obvious, but you must have a PSN account in order to download and participate in the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta.  You can sign up for a PSN account online.

This information only applies for North America.  Details about the SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta in other parts of the world will be announced by the regional Sony Computer Entertainment offices.

Let the Games Begin!
