Here's when you can play the Resistance 3 beta


September is almost here, and that means we are that much closer to playing Insomniac's latest and [hopefully] greatest FPS Resistance 3. However, the beta is even closer, and starting August 4 those who purchased SOCOM 4 back in April will be able to take part in the game's online multiplayer beta with early access. Just redeem the codes given as you normally would; e.g. the convenient "Redeem Code" option in the XMB.

PlayStation Plus subbers, on the other hand, have to wait until August 23. All you guys have to do is navigate to the "PlayStation Plus" option in the PlayStation Store.

The Resistance 3 multiplayer beta contains two of the "major maps," two of the five game modes [Team Deathmatch, Chain Reaction], and has a leveling cap of 20. Insomniac notes there will be codes given away for everybody else, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
