Following its success as the number one online PS2 franchise, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs breaches onto the PS3 in high-definition this holiday-season. SOCOM Confrontation delivers the ultimate next-generation online combat experience made possible by the power of PS3.
Last month SCEA revealed the beta launch, which was supposed to launch yesterday but has now been pushed until Sept. 5 for pre-orders and for Qore subscribers until Sept. 12. To make up for the delay, the beta period has been extended until Oct. 5.
