Yesterday a rather unscrupulous website or two posted the admittedly well known hack to gain access to The Division beta on PlayStation 4. All you had to do was pre-order the game on the PSN and as soon as you did, you got access the beta and could cancel your pre-order.
As I mentioned, it’s a known way of getting access to betas but it really didn’t need publicising, and as a result of the huge number of people exploiting the loophole Ubisoft have stopped any new gamers from getting in to the beta. That means someone who genuinely pre-orders the game now won’t get access because some websites are [very rude word].
We are seeing an unprecedented level of interest in The Division closed beta and we want to warmly thank our fans for their enthusiasm and passion.
We’ve already reached the capacity of players needed to test the game and online infrastructure during the beta and to prepare for the launch of the game (on PS4) on March 8.
As a result, at this time we’re closing access to the closed beta through the PSN pre-order system.

Be thankful that us in Europe CAN cancel digital preorders.
