so how we get on this beta?

[beanbandit]

By all accounts it will be free for everyone, and will appear on the PSN Store 17th April, same day as the new updated Store goes live.

I'll be having a go on this

I thought the updated store was due to go live tomorrow (with accompanying firmware update), then the first actual store update will be on Thursday...

Hi, I have downloaded the beta and then the update to 1.01 (took ages!) but then I had to get a Konami ID. Thier ID portal website is one of the worst websites I have ever visited. After trying for 2 days to set up my details I finally managed to get my Konami ID and game ID. So I quickly booted up my PS3 and started up the game, but now after I enter all my details and try to log in I get an error code 090b:0000001 unable to connect to server! Aaaarrrggghhh! I know this is a beta, but it is not a good first impression of konami's online gaming credentials (pro evo 2008 was awful online too). I really hope they fix thier server issues soon as the traiker for the game from the title screen makes it look awesome. If anyone else has had problems, or by some stroke of luck actually played the game, tier respones would be welcomed

its not up yet... Mr Bert, thats why u cant connect

[Azza]

Im not even going to bother.

We all know the game will be aweosme when it comes out, plus I dont want to be messing around for god knows how long getting this ID sorted.

I find Konami's whole process for this beta very amature. They make the game available, then they release an update for the game. And for those of us who persevere with the ID problems our reward is an installed, up to date game that cannot be played yet. Surely they should have made sure thier servers were up before releasing the beta?!?!

I think they are/were trying to make sure everyone had the game before they opened the servers up to give evreyone a chance. But what they faild miserably on is having servers that actually work. Im going to leave the download going over night

fix the damn Konami site!!!
been trying for days now and its out tomorrow!!

[Merlin4458]

impossible m8, apparently theres a plugin for firefox that saves the data u put in, so u can get it done. But tbh, i cba to find the plugin, and its impossible to even get the page to load up properly..

im going to curl up in my duvet, cry for a few hours, then console myself with a tub of Ben and Jerry's while watching a tear jerker . . . . .theres no consoling me - a playable MG4 beta and it wont let me
