PlayStation Plus Users Get Extra Red Faction: Battlegrounds Beta Time
If you're among the dedicated Sony fans shilling out $49.99 a year for a PlayStation Plus, and among those playing the beta for the dowloadable Red Faction game, you're in for a treat. THQ and Sony are extending the beta for the explosive vehicular combat game, Red Faction: Battlegrounds, but only if you're a subscriber.
PlayStation Plus members have until October 26 to blow crap up in cool cars, and more are coming to join the fun thanks to the 1,000 beta codes Sony will be giving to members. According to Volition's community manager, J Goldberg, the developer is really trying to stress test the servers, so that's why 1,000 more invites are being distributed.
I find it interesting that a developer that's trying to overload its servers would make a beta exclusive for a week. Wouldn't you want to take all comers?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
