8. Resistance 2/SOCOM EU Beta details

Why is it that Europe seems to get screwed when it comes to the cool stuff? Resistance 2 and SOCOM Confrontation will both receive a public beta test in the US later this year. Entry to the betas is currently restricted to those who subscribe to SCEA's online magazine QORE, but more routes in are to be announced. In Europe we don't even know if we're going to get the betas. We'd love free entry but we'd accept a beta key through buying one of Sony's forthcoming PSN titles, just like gamers bought Commando 3 on Xbox LIVE Arcade to get into the SSFIITHDR online beta.

7. Home release date/beta

A final release date for Sony's delayed virtual community would be great, but even a wish list has to be somewhat realistic. Next up for Home is a public beta, and Games Convention 2008 seems like the ideal place to announce the kick-off date. Again, Sony could bundle beta keys in with the purchase of certain PSN titles if they wanted to cash in on the beta. It wouldn't be ideal, but given how long Home has been dangled in front of us like a carrot on a stick we're betting lots of people would be more than willing to pay to test something out.
