I don’t REMEMBER signing up for LoE beta at all! I remembered desperately hoping to get into Star Wars Galaxies and Planetside betas, but would Sony accept me? NooooOoOOOooo… I guess LoE is so crappy that they had to pick some Station Sony users who didn’t even sign up for it.

Oh well, might as well give it a try… Hehe, although I’ll probably forget to download it until suddenly a e-mail arrives telling me that beta is over. That was exactly what happened for the Diablo 2 beta, I got accepted but was too lazy to download the 200mb beta file. >_>
