Besides, shouldn't the beta start at 21st?

I've run into this issue too. Still waiting for them to response to my email.

im downloading the patch and it's going really slow. it's at 22% and i keep getting network errors using p2p... ugh

My friend got the 9 digit code. He was freaking out because he didn't know what to do, but I helped him send an email to Konami this morning. Still waiting for a response.

i email them yesterday. Waited 28 hours n still no response. I called up konami and the dude was so rude. I felt like cursin him out but he was like "i have no clue, you havee to email, dont call here"

I read somewhere on the Playstation Blog that they will probably announce something on there when they have finally figure out things. Wow the Beta hasn't even officially started and there are already crazy problems.

At least with Halo 3 beta, you got a game out of the crazy ordeal.

Maybe they should put out a demo at least to make up for people not getting in with bogus codes and stuff.

 And that is why refuse to go and try to get another one.  Even though I have thinking about that collectors edition.  

 Must not be a fool, must maintain willpower, what little I have.

 yeah well they could be a little more polite...this guy seems pissed off that i was questioning him... 

I have all my IDs and stuff, but it won't let me log in. It says I can't connect to the server. Will I be unable to log in until the 21st?
