Anyone want to watch and confirm? I presume EU will get it at the same time.

Well it's about bloomin time.

Yes, yes, yes! I went back to playing COD after the private beta ended for about 20 minutes before realising it is a horrible game with no team work or strategy and every game plays out the same way - boring. My playstation is now gathering dust waiting for this!

Some more information on dates and how to get in.

They deserve to get something first for once  

Hopefully we'll be getting it at the same time e.g. 7pm in US, 1am GMT.

Wow, the public beta will be up until the game is released!? Now I'm really curious as to when the game is released. I would guess late March based on that but depending on how much needs to be changed the game could be out almost April or potentially May. I just hope this doesn't eat into sales in that people get bored during the Beta and don't buy the full game.

However, in saying that, I really, really hope they release the online mode as a standalone game on PSN. I have absolutely no interest in the story mode (and I'm sure there is a few others that feel the same) and don't know if I can justify €50/€60 just to play the online mode (and for the online mode alone I'd expect a similar price to Warhawk's price upon release). The only problem with this is that they may feel people will just download the online and few people will buy the game in stores for the full price but I would still prefer to see the online mode as a (relatively) cheap download with low to average sales for the disk version and have there be a large amount of players for an extended time period than to have a average to large amount of disk based sales and then the amount of players dramatically decreases as more games are released (as I think part of what helped Warhawk survive so long is that due to the relatively cheap price to download it people browsing the PS Store may come across it and download it out of curiosity knowing that if it's not enjoyable to them not much was lost).

Im not getting my hands on new games everytime , but when im watching this game i would pay 100 € for it , this is a real game with a real work on . Those people working on LB are making a fantastic job , they're listening us . The online mode on PSStore isn't a bad idea at all however i can't miss an eventual story talking about Chernovia and Eucadia or even a coop story mode . For me it will be a first day game and collector if there was one . My only hope is to see a real Warhawk pro mode flight and not just a stupid flight system where the first znoob coming can get out of a pursuit by keeping a finger on L2 button .

"If I was in the Private Beta, am I in the Public Beta?
If you were in the Private Beta, you are in the Public Beta for the duration. DO NOT delete the Private Beta file from your PS3 or else you won’t have access. Worse…you will be…unhappy."

So I can't get into the beta now because I had to reformat my hard drive because the private beta was so buggy.

Smooth.
