FiringSquad are telling us all that the open beta of Pirates of the Burning Sea should've already started, but nowhere is really hinting on how to get into the program; there doesn't seem to be a big FilePlanet advert or the like as there normally is.

The only way to actually get onto the beta seems to be signing up for a Sony Station account, and also signing up for the little advertized beta testing on the official Burning Sea site. I've done both of these and got myself an invite, yet the game is still taking an absolute age to download. Hopefully it's worth it though.
