If you're jonesing for entry keys into the Killzone 3 beta, but don't feel like ponying up for the PlayStation Plus membership required to be eligible for early access, Sony's offering social networking mavens another, thriftier opportunity. If you're all up on that Twitter, you can be eligible for one of 150 beta codes by Tweeting "@killzonedotcom Please include me in the Killzone 3 beta! My PSN ID is [your PSN ID] #killzone3 #scea http://ow.ly/2Vfcf." (If you live in Europe, replace #scea with #scee. Jurisdictions, and all that jazz.)
The codes will be distributed by October 22, but if you don't manage to snag one from Sony, we'll have some a bit later this week. Keep an eye on our Twitter feed, and also our Facebook page, and you should also probably listen to our podcast, and, now that we think about it, you should probably just follow us around on the street.

I'd like one but I don't subscribe to any of that nonsense, without he exception of a podcast maybe.

I think I'm just going to avoid the hoops and play the game when it releases.

Haha, no. But I have TERRIBLE luck, which means I would have to jump through many hoops to try and obtain a code, and even then, I'd probably not get one. ;)

I refuse to do these things after the nightmare I had trying to get into the LBP beta. Plus I quite like the game to be as much of a surprise as possible without the risk of it being turd. If that makes sense.

I did this a few hours ago and expect nothing. 150 codes per region? Yeah... Odds aren't very good. I bet it'll be equally hard on here/elsewhere.

Don't give up...you'll receive the codes from GG if you are picked on the 25th.
