SEGA has officially launched the closed beta signups for PSO2's release on the Playstation Vita in Japan. The signup period will last from today through January 7th, 2013 at 11:59PM JST and 50,000 participants will be chosen (if they receive more applications than that, a lottery will be held to choose testers).
You can sign up through the Vita Contents section of the PSN store on either a Playstation Vita or Playstation 3, using a PSN ID that has its region set to Japan (searching for "PSO2" seems to be the easiest way to find the CBT item). Participants who are selected will be notified via email after the application deadline has passed.
The pupose of the beta is will be to test general game and server performance, as well as synchronization and interaction with the PC version of the game. This means that players who are selected can also test using a special PC client (will require a SEGA ID). A new ship will be created just for the beta and data from the test will not carry over to the live game.
SEGA is also rewarding participants of PSO2 Vita's closed beta test with several in-game items. To receive these items, you'll need to create a character and reach level 10:
- A. Rizer / Nacht (Gunslash) (an end-game rifle from PSP2 Infinity)
- (1) Photon Sphere
- (1) 500 FUN Ticket
The actual beta period is said to start in mid-January 2013 and exact dates will be announced in a future update from SEGA.
