Too lazy to actually read other topics before asking, I see. Seems to be quite a trend here today.

That's the date when they will announce who got picked to participate in the alpha. The actual date of the alpha test has not yet been stated. All we know is that it will be during summer.

I wish it was just a trend for the day.

The 20th is actually just the deadline to enter the drawing to participate in the alpha. The winners will be announced mid-to-late June.

Hmm, is it limited strictly to Japanese players of PSU and Blue Burst, and people with those PSP2I codes only? Or can anyone, regardless of region or what game they've played, sign up?

Currently, entry is limited to residents of Japan who recieved a code in one of those ways but I'm pretty sure you can fudge your address. No one knows if they'll block IPs outside of Japan though.

Ah ok, I remember telling a friend of mine that Japan was about to start Alpha testing, and since he had more knowledge of both Japanese and internet tech than I did, he tried signing up, but for some reason had to stop mid-way through it. I'm guessing his IP was blocked, but I'd have to ask him about it to be sure.

Has anyone here outside of Japan tried applying with any success?

There was a topic about this but it was burried under the fluff. Let's see if I can find it.

EDIT: Here's the important info about signing up if you have a code. I believe this helped most people who had problems registering.

If you are getting a 500 error, you must change your browser to Japanese.

Please use Internet Explorer for this example:
1 ) Open IE
2 ) Go Tools > Internet Options
3 ) At the bottom, click Languages
4 ) Click Add...
5 ) Select Japanese (Japan) [ja-JP], click OK
6 ) Move Japanese to the top
7 ) Click OK and close all dialouges, and close IE.
8 ) Restart IE, and do the registration process.

Hope this helps.

Ah ok, thank you.

Another question though: do I have to have a code to sign up too? Because I don't, and I'm guessing I wouldn't get very far without one. =x
