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.

I already buy more games than I get to play on my PC/360 alone. I have Steam games that have never even been loaded up. I have a Wii that hasn't even been turned on in like 3 years.
It's not that I have anything against the console... there just isn't enough time in the day to play more games.

it can never hit 360. MS detests micro.
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.

Does anyone think this will eventually be on PC at some point, also Shacknews has the 360 listed under available platforms? (near the non-existent box-shot)

Behold, the infinite wonders and complexities of our database!

The 360 listing is an error. The only way for it to be on the 360 is if MS dissolves Xbox-live's policies and restrictions. One of the ideas of Dust 514 is to branch out to new platforms. The PC isn't a new platform for EVE. But if it doesn't do to well on the PS3 or fails to move to the next PlayStation PC is a likely choice CCP would move to.

Unlikely, it's just not fair to put console FPS players and PC players in the same game... the PC players have a totally unfair advantage with the mouse/keyboard controls. Unfortunate. It would be awesome to have this on the PC.

You know, they could support mouse/keyboard on the ps3
