GamerBlipsUPDATE Tues, Oct 6, 2009: This contest is officially closed and we are no longer accepting new requests for GamesRadar's MAG 256 closed beta program.
By now, everyone who requested an invitation to the MAG private beta program should have received an email from us with their beta key code and instructions from Sony explaining how to redeem your code, download the client, and play.
Thanks for visiting GamesRadar and thanks for your patience as we distributed these codes. We hope to see you soon!

With online battles designed to support up to 256 players, MAG is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most ambitious console shooters of all time. With 256 players shooting, driving, sniping, and blasting each other on the same map, it’s theoretically possible that MAG will be about 64 times more intense than a four player campaign in Left 4 Dead, 16 times more addicting than a 16 player Slayer match in Halo 3, and 14.2222 times more satisfying than an 18 player round of Team Deathmatch in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Or not. Who knows? There’s only one way to find out for sure. So why don’t you join the beta, play the game for free, and help make it better? That’s right! GamesRadar is pleased to have the opportunity to give away 256 invitations for MAG’s private beta program to the most important people on the planet: our readers.
