Yes, the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial really is coming! Just like its predecessor, the multiplayer mode for Killzone 3 will be put through rigorous testing at the hands of the toughest, most demanding critics in existence: you, the fans. The Trial starts on October 25th and access is limited to 5,000 U.S. Plus subscribers, so please read the following instructions carefully if you want to know how to secure a spot in the Public Beta:
- Be(come) a Plus subscriber
- With the exception of a handful of key media partners and selected PAX feedback participants, access to the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial is limited to PlayStation Plus subscribers. If you’re not enjoying the many benefits of Plus membership yet, now’s the time to sign up!
- Download the theme
- On October 19th, an exclusive Killzone 3 XMB Theme will appear in the Plus section of the PlayStation Store. The first 10,000 Plus subscribers to download this theme (5,000 U.S. Plus subscribers and 5,000 European Plus subscribers) will receive access to the Public Beta Trial.
- Check your email
- After you’ve downloaded the Killzone 3 XMB Theme, you will receive an email on Oct. 25th containing the Public Beta Trial promotion code and further instructions through the address you registered as your PSN Sign-In ID. Make sure you’ve set your notification preferences to accept emails from SCE, or we won’t be able to contact you.
Those of you who make it into the Public Beta Trial are expected to provide honest gameplay feedback, report bugs and glitches, and help test our network code in real-world scenarios. In short, we’re counting on you to help us improve Killzone 3! In return you’ll get a good taste of the multiplayer mode, including its brand-new Operations game type, party system, and jetpack and exoskeleton vehicles.
And if that doesn’t convince you to take a shot at the Public Beta Trial, maybe this new trailer will:
Killzone is the best of the best games out there. Killzone 3 will be the game of the year!!
WILL IT UPDATE AT MIDNIGHT???????
You lie, nothing has shown up, I’ve been checking for the past half hour… YOu said midnight on twitter. “12AM-1AM on Oct. 19”
Don’t see the Theme yet…Any idea when it will be up?
It’s almost an hour and a half, and yet the theme isn’t up yet? Like what “rj0088” said, it mentioned on twitter that it would be released between 12-1 am. So…?
4:04 AM and the store same as ever no theme ¬¬
umm still no update ! :( can anyone tell when the update is gonna happen ?
Ill be checking it every 15 minutes so ill post on here when it comes up.
ok thanks for that !
Nothing so far. its 7 41am.
This whole thing is ridiculous…. I’m a grown person with a job how am i supposed to download a theme on my ps3 at home? The store should be available on the web as well. And isn’t beta access the reason i plopped down $50 for plus to begin with, thinking I would get access to this beta, not to sit at work aggravated that things are being offered that i can’t get to…. oh well. A timeframe would have been nice. End of rant…. for now.
well yeah its kinda dumb for ps+ owners to once again compete to get betas and stuff ! i mean all ps+ subscribers should had got this beta invite since they are ps+ USERS !
Nothing.
Still no update.
ahhhhh?!?!?!
Wait for the PStore to update…geez impatient you are lol
Im a day 2 ps + 1year subscriber . i would be really upset if i didn’t get into kz3 beta . and i would take further actions.
lol can u believe my ps3s on since 2am ! man ! yeah im impatient NOW ! LOL
Impatient? Some of us have things to do. I wish we could have received a time window at least.
Also it was reported that in europe. More than 9000 people download the kz3 theme in less than 30 minutes.
^^ ditto that ! a time frame would had been a lifesaver !
yeah I can’t wait I believe they’ll update it in the afternoon but you can’t be too careful I guess for anyone still checking this page out look at this hilarious gamesradar article

anytime wat man :( im about to go somewhere and if that is the time when the psstore updates and all keys are gone ill be MAD !
if someone is actually reading this and if u really value your customers sony than i want a kz3 beta key in my email, i,ve had enough with this ! 8 hours straight my ps3 is on and im waiting for this and still nothing ! i was a first week ps+ subscriber and this is how im being rewarded w0w nice !
word
you know it will be updated during the their work hours right? I don’t know why everyone stayed up all night I mean the store isn’t going to update itself ya know?
their work time starts from 9 ? i think right so just 3 minutes left i suppose
9
when will the Canadian store update
just checked nothing :(
btw does anybody know when the last psupdate took place ? like at what hour time etc !
the same as the us im guessing
I know its kinda of a lot of time to wait for a beta but I beat kz2 three times and reached the hight rank on kz2. I still play every once in a while but I really need a new fix. Only Four months till kz3 drops but it feels like a year.
I think in the afternoon not entirely sure though
are they using a mexican connection for uploading there store
56 k. It seems.
haha
Nothing. Still waiting.
So??? Nothing???
I just read this from ps twitter. “PlayStation US gamers: The PlayStation Plus Killzone 3 theme will go live this afternoon (Pacific) with the PS Store.”
So we should keep an eye on their twitter page up to check for updates?
