SOCOM Beta Test

- Want to try out the new SOCOM game for PSP before anyone else? Try and get yourself on the beta test and you can be sneaking and shooting online very soon, to help the developers iron out bugs and test server load.
- Sign up for the PlayStation Underground and register your PSP. Be sure to fill out the other sections of your profile, including the fact that you have a router and the ability to get online. You must also be 18 to get on this beta.
- If that is done, you may receive an email about joining the beta. You cannot join without this.
- To sign up for the beta head to this link. You need to have firmware v2.0 on your PSP so that you have access to the PSP web browser. In a clever move, you have to register through this browser to qualify for the beta test, thus proving you have a PSP with the ability to get online. It may also be enough to tempt some people to upgrade their firmware away from homebrew-allowing versions.
- If you do not have firmware 2.0, you can still try and register using Firefox and a plugin. PSP Updates have some instructions on doing this.
- Others have reported using browsers in games such as WipeOut Pure to register on older version firmwares, but this cannot be confirmed right now.
