We lived in hope and it looks like our digital prayers have been answered. Confirming over on the Official PlayStation EU blog, European PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to take part in the DC Universe Online beta. Danger, Will Robinson! We hope you’ve got the space for it, though. We’re talking Doomsday proportions here.
“Due to the scale of the game, this Beta Trial will require approximately 15GB of free Hard Disk Drive (HDD) space, and can take an average of 3-4 hours to download, or potentially longer depending on your broadband internet connection. It will definitely be worth it though!”
Also, no messing about with first come first served here. All members are able to participate.
In more December PS+ treat news, SCEE are also gifting Plusites the Turbo! Pack for LittleBigPlanet PSP. It’s add-on content and it’s yours forever. Until it’s not. We’re still unsure how that whole unsubscribe thing works. Just keep sending Sony your money and everything should be fine.

Oohh, I’ll give this a punt. Haven’t been interested in monthly payment games, but if I get to play it for free for a while I’ll get a taster for it and may even bite!

I take it we’re no nearer to a date then? New year now, presumably.

It’s been 2011 for a while now.

Once you start up the 121mb file, you’ll probably be prompted to either patch or download the whole thing.
Flightx
its not a mi download the 15gb gamestake its just the program it downloads to
CaptainMurdo
I barely understood what you just said.
ARUMIR
Huh?
Must be a mistake
Kovacs
Yep – after the 121MB you install, go in, and then it checks for “game assets”. You get a timer and, according to mine, I’ll be playing in 93 minutes!
kivi95
What just 93minutes? For me it says 140minutes
Kovacs
For some reason my speed has been capped at 20.7kbps.
Grrr…
Kovacs
Might just be the installer. Okay, okay, I’ll kick it off now.
:)
kivi95
Nice!!!!! But i can’t find it.Where is it?
Kovacs
Check the source link. It’s been uploaded right now. Should be live soon.
ARUMIR
Okay I think I will pass out
15GB….. what should I save?
rainydays458
Going to have to delete some stuff first, the curse of having a 60gb hard drive
Dan Lee
15GB…BT will crap a brick if I even point my PS3 in that general direction!
Samiro05
LOL true story. I’ve just came back home from havin’ virgin media elsewhere and the disspointment in my download speed I cannot put in better words than what you just said :p
phantom5813
thank god i got unlimited broadband through sky!!! i knew my 500gb hdd would come in handy someday!!!
Carl
Yep, but i did it anyway just to annoy the fuck out of them. I think i’m already over my monthly cap anyway, so meh
4lf13
Well I have around 250MB left, so that’s not an option then, although I hear the hard drive upgrade bird calling … *caw … caw … caw*
Samiro05
What is the original size of the hard drive? When I bought my PS3 I was told 120MB is more than enough but she was so wrong
beeje13
MB ??
Samiro05
Lol now I was so wrong. I meant GB but I’m sure yoo knew that
YOURMUMANDME
Great GT5 and now this, that’s what ? 24Gb ?
*sigh* Looks like the porn collection is gonna have to take another hit….
skibadee

Carl
Bigger HDD for xmas ;)

This is what Sony needs to be doing if they want me to get PS+. Although this beta needs to be exclusive, I got to play the KZ3 beta a month before PS+’ers, and I don’t even like KZ lol.
And 15gb? I thought the MAG Beta was big!
