Sony are now letting gamers sign-up to participate in the public beta phase that precedes the full launch of new 2.

You can register for the chance to take part online, and you'll just need to fill out a quick form, providing your ID and the like.

Email invites will be sent to lucky applicants on an unspecified date, although not everyone will go home happy by the sound of things.

"Space is limited. So, if you want to get a chance to try out all the new features in Resistance 2, such as the 8-player co-op and up to 60-player competitive multiplayer, apply now! Good luck!"
