‘Killzone 3′To Include‘SOCOM 4′Multiplayer Beta Access» MTV Multiplayer

"Killzone 3"is out on February 22, and even if you're already sold on bringing the fight back to the Helghast, Sony is still working to add more value to your purchase. You hear that?Even if you don't want free crap, free crap is exactly what you're going to get.Only this isn't crap. It's access to the"SOCOM 4"multiplayer beta.

The beta access will be offered to buyers of both the beefy Helghast Edition and standalone disc-in-a-box edition, so don't start trembling at the thought of having to shell out big money for the more expensive collector's set just to get your early"SOCOM 4"on. Therevealon the PlayStation Blog does note that the beta will only be included in"specially marked"copies of the game. That probably means all of them at launch, but be sure to look over your purchase and make sure when 2/22 arrives.

Here's what"SOCOM"developer Zipper Interactive's Chris Roper had to say:

To get early access to the beta, look for the 'SOCOM 4' callout on the front of all eligible copies of 'Killzone 3' (including both the standalone and Helghast Editions). Inside the box you’ll find a PSN code that you’ll be able to redeem for your early access as soon as the beta goes live. To find out when the 'SOCOM 4' multiplayer beta begins, be sure to check back at SOCOM.com once you pick up your copy of 'Killzone 3,' hitting shelves on February 22nd.

We’ll have more information on the 'SOCOM 4' multiplayer beta itself in the near future. For now, take a look at the callout for the beta on the awesome 'Killzone 3' box art!

So it sounds like the"SOCOM 4"beta won't be availablestartingon February 22, which means you'll have to hang onto that PSN code. Just don't do what I did with"Battlefield: Bad Company 2"and forget the code exists. Those things come armed with expiration dates.
