Seems a lot of you folks are really confused.
Qore has the Beta as a Bonus. It is not the only way to get into the Beta, and you are paying for the content in Qore (videos, screens, interviews, articles) just as you would with a magazine. The Beta is a bonus.
You can also get into the Beta via Pre-Order and Sign Ups (through the GamePro sign up).
Secondly, this is the private beta. There was no monetary contribution at all involved in this portion of the beta, as the individuals were selected due to PSN activity, play time, membership length at myres, etc.
Nebula - I really don't understand how being in a beta can ruin a game for you. Your purpose in a beta (especially at this stage) is to find and report bugs, and provide the developer with crucial feed back (as well as information based on server side performance, etc). Your job is not to play through the game and expect a finished perfected experience. It still blows my mind when people complain about bugs and issues in beta tests.
