"Resistance 3 early beta access will begin on August 4 in the US and August 10 in the UK, Insomniac Games has revealed. In the US, early access to the Resistance 3 beta will be given to those who purchased SOCOM 4. Specially marked SOCOM 4 packages included a beta code which can be redeemed in the PSN store starting August 4. US PlayStation Plus subscribers will also be able to join the beta from August 23. For the UK, early Resistance 3 beta access will be given to all PlayStation Plus subscribers on August 10. No beta code will be necessary as the beta will appear in the PlayStation Plus section of the PSN store.  The Resistance 3 beta will include two maps: Seaside of Glamorgan, Wales and a Trainyard in Bogota, Colombia. Players will have access to playing Team Deathmatch and Chain Reaction multiplayer modes, levelling characters to level 20, buying and upgrading weapons and abilities, and customising loadouts.  According to Insomniac Games, the beta will extend past the early access period, with more opportunities to get into the beta announced at a later date. Sony recently stated that a PSN pass will be required to play Resistance 3 online. The pass will be included in new copies of the game. Resistance 3 will be available exclusively on PlayStation 3 from September 6 in North America and September 9 in the UK. A Resistance 3 bundle will also be available, offering the game, a PlayStation Move controller, a PlayStation Navigation controller, PS Eye camera and a SharpShooter gun peripheral for $150 (\u00A392).
