Dust 514 Mercenary Pack packs beta access
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 26, 2012 7:30am PDTIf you want to be certain you get into the closed beta test for CCP's free-to-play PS3 FPS Dust 514, you can now pony up $20 to get guaranteed beta access and a pack of in-game goodies. The EVE Online tie-in's first beta weekend event will kick off on June 28.
The $20 'Mercenary Pack' launches today in the PlayStation Store, packing $20 worth of in-game currency and hundreds of items. Most gear in Dust is single-use, bought with in-game currency or real money but lost when you die--CCP says it'll cost around 24 cents for a top-end loadout--but the pack includes an unlimited use submachine gun and suit of armour. You also get 50 shotguns, 50 spawn point beacons, 50 grenades, 50 melee boosts, and a 30-day skill point booster.
It offers access to every beta event, plus "exclusive access to the game on off-weekends."
Dust 514 is slated to launch exclusively on PS3 later this year. Shame there's no PC edition. If you don't fancy paying $20 to play the beta, you can always sign up and hope you're picked.

The possibility of it being on the pc is still high though. It will either flop and make a last ditch stand on the pc, or it'll still move to the pc to expand the playerbase. They've already said that mouse controls are being left in. EVE's playerbase has been pretty vocal enough about it being a ps3 exclusive that not coming out at some point on the pc would be silly.
