Feel peeved that you've not been invited to play in Zipper Interactive's PS3 exclusive MAG (Massive Action Game) closed Beta? Well, firstly, man-up for goodness' sake. Secondly it's going open in September.
Speaking at Gamescom, Zipper's Andy Beaudoin stated, "On September 17, we will start an official public beta version."
So, there you go, you can now pwn or be pwned by 254 other like-minded people.

Sweet!
Just checked my mail and guess what - me too!
Bummer that it's only open 1700-2000 (too early) and 0000-0300 (might be able to squeeze an hour in)

@miacid Lol. No.
When I read your comment at home last night I thought 'bugger, better get it started'. My hopes for a quick download (250MB from PSN, then a 30MB update) were dashed when the game loaded and started drip feeding me the 2.3GB content.
I guess they've not bothered with a CDN set-up for the beta - feels like it's spooling from some internal server that's hooked up to feeble pipe. Poor thing's shuddering under the load.
Given that it doesn't download from the XMB, and you have to start the game, I'll be lucky to get this down and installed before the beta expires. Still, at least it resume the download instead of starting from the beginning...

I had the exact same feeling, started the download from the PSN Store, grabbed a bite to eat and got myself ready for some action...........or not as it ended up!
I started the mammoth download last night about 7ish and it's at 98% this morning (I've got about a 3Mb connection)! As the beta is only open between certain hours I'd imagine you're right and they've got the beta running from servers in their office/hosting company so that they can monitor all the stat's etc... either way, it seems to be dying on it's ass!
It's typical I'm out tonight but I'm hoping to get on it tomorrow night, would be good to hear your thoughts if you get in before that.
Do you know which faction you're going to side with?

@miacid yeah, I got about 300MB in and my PSN connection dropped. Can't remember the last time that happened to me, so I was rightly cursing. Worse of it was that I'd switched the TV to watch a bit of Mythbusters - so I've no idea how long it was sat, blindly saying "no connection". Because of that, I'm loathed to leave it completely unattended.
So, I doubt I'll get it all down before you do!

If I can get the offspring to bed early doors I might be able to slip in a a game or two before the 20:00 cut off. Otherwise it'll have to be in the wee hours, filling the interstice with some Uncharted2 beta download & play.
You can find me on PSN as, er, 'config' :)

I saw you were on-line but didn't see you in MAG, the cut-off is 9pm as we're in BST which is GMT + 1, so the hours are 6-9pm.
Also, while trying to find the Uncharted 2 Beta demo last night, I got the Lost Planet 2 Co-op demo which is something else I've been looking forward to 8~)

Yeah, I didn't get the PS3 til about 8pm and saw you were in MAG. However, at that point I was more focussed on getting Drake downloading and fixing up some dinner. After which the wife had hijacked the telly to watch that god awful Strictly Come Dancing thing that's on every night (the weekend show I can live with, but hey, she has to put up with my current Mythbusters catchup ;)
Anyway, I didn't get to MAG last night. Should be able to get some time in on it tonight as the spousal overlord is off to the movies.

I have to put up with the same, only it's Hollyoaks! I must admit I've just started series linked Mythbusters and the last few have been rather good.
I'm off out for a friends Birthday tonight and not sure when I'll be on-line next, as the misses will be back!
