PlayStation Underground members have been informed by way of email that they can expect the next downloadable episode of Qore to provide access into the Resistance 2 beta. This highly-anticipated sequel to the best-selling launch PlayStation 3 title is expected to revolve heavily around multiplaying action. With Insomniac Games pumping the online limit up to 60 players, it makes perfect sense to throw a beta the online portion of the game. This will not only help tide fans of the series over, but it'll also give Insomniac a better impression of how well the servers will handle the massive amount of traffic they're sure to receive.

The beta is expected to begin during the month of September, so Qore users will have to wait quite some time before their purchase pays off. For those of you interested on when you can pick up the next installment of the online magazine, it's scheduled for release on August 7. So far Qore has allowed users to gain eventual access to SOCOM: Confrontation's beta, have an early playthrough of the latest Naruto demo and now gain an invitation to check out Resistance 2's online play.

All that is left to do is to figure out if this beta is worth the asking price of a mere $2.99.

UPDATE: If you don't want to purchase Qore, Insomniac has assured the public that there will be additional ways to acquire the Resistance 2 beta, such as a pre-order program that should be unveiled soon. As for any worried Europeans, the beta will take place in all territories, so don't fret.
