If you didn’t preorder a copy of inFamous or if you don’t have an annual subscription to Qore[psn] then it’s very likely that you don’t and won’t have the chance to participate in Uncharted 2’s multi player Closed Beta Testing. That was the case with me…after some searching, I was able to obtain a code, but I gave mine away thinking it would be easy to just get another. I was so wrong.

It was looking like I wasn’t going to be able to fight through the frenzy to snag another code when the following happened…

You don’t often see the Co-President of a major software developer take the time to personally send out a Closed Beta Code Key to a fan who can’t seem to nab one off the all-too-scoured publicly posted ones, before it’s…well, all-too-used. But that is exactly what happened when Naughty Dog’s Christophe Balestra took the time out to Direct Message me a key.

For some reason the code didn’t work when I received it yesterday, but I gave it another shot today and bam! I am currently downloading the Closed Uncharted 2 Multi player Beta. Thanks Christophe, you don’t often see that type of dedication to a developer’s fans.

I’ll write a bit about my impressions and I will also be posting my recommendations for improvements here, same one’s that I will be sending in to their Closed Beta Feedback Forum.
