BF4 closed beta in usa - get early
seems MS is late with their store update and no BF4 beta yet for us gamers
but there is a work around
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2955064762681044742/
start by signing out of your profile
go to Settings, console settings
change location to UK, change timezone to GMT 0 (london)
BF4 beta should now show up in the store (i think under games, featured)
click on beta and try to download, it will say "you need to sign in"
do NOT follow the sign in prompt from the store, instead click your center X button and sign in that way
it should start downloading, about 1.6gb
probably want to change your location and timezone back to US once you verify it is downloaded and running
seems to be issues with "Lost connection to EA servers" as expected
played only a few minutes before i have to leave for work.
I strongly recommend finding an empty server and adjusting to new HUD, new controls and map before jumping in.
I wasn't able to get into a conquest game to try vehicles.
gameplay and graphics reminded me ALOT like THQ's Homefront.
PS3 beta won't be out until this afternoon, I guess someone could try the timezone/locale trick and see if they can get it early.
