I was one of the (un)lucky 100,000 people to get a Playstation Home beta key on Friday.

Got a Resistance 2 beta code in my email last night. It was a 2.2gig download and while it started fast ended up taking quite a while. A friend recieved one as well - both of ours came from the Playstation Underground.
2 maps available in the beta and the game runs multiplayer only. From the 30 minutes or so I put in last night it seems like a pretty fun game though I had it crash on me several times each requiring a hard reboot. The 40 player map that I played was pretty chaotic and I can tell that this will be a popular online shooter - though it will be interesting to see how it fairs against COD5.
Keep checking your email, maybe there is an invite waiting for you!
