If you subscribed to PlayStation Plus – Sony's paid PlayStation Network service that gives its users discounted or free games, demos and more – hoping to get into exclusive demos, you might, but it turns out you also might need to keep on hoping even after you fork over your subscription fee.
Grace Chen, senior manager of the PlayStation Store, stopped by to detail the upcoming content for PlayStation Plus members today on the PlayStation Blog. Turns out that users will get the demos for Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light as well as Alien Breed: Impact automatically downloaded to their systems, but PlayStation Plus members will also get into the early October betas for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Red Faction: Battlegrounds.
Well, some PlayStation Plus members will.
"Select PlayStation Plus members will get their hands on the first-ever multiplayer modes of the Assassin's Creed franchise," Chen wrote apparently indicating that not every subscriber will get the betas.
A message left with Sony representatives was not immediately returned. It is still not 100 percent clear that not every PlayStation Plus subscriber will get into the beta.
No word was given on how the select users will be chosen. PlayStation.com's PlayStation Plus page states that users will "have the opportunity to get early access or invitations to select demos and betas" but doesn't specifically state that everyone will be able to take advantage of this opportunity although "priority beta invitations" is listed as a PlayStation Plus feature.
When the PlayStation Plus was first unveiled, the beta part of the program was described to IGN as "select demos and beta trials before they go live to everyone else."

talk about being stabbed in the back, if I gave money to play a beta I should be playing a beta.
