Killzone 2 servers are not live - Sony

via Eurogamer

Sony has told Eurogamer that Killzone 2 multiplayer servers are not active, and won't be until sometime close to its launch on 27th February.

Thus, the pre-release promotional copies currently out there will not work online until servers are up and running. There's nothing wrong with the discs themselves.

The platform holder was speaking after reports of Killzone 2 promotional copies not working online popped up on the official US PlayStation forum.

Promotional copies are distributed before release to industry insiders. They often end up on eBay, fetching sky-high prices from eager fans.

Both Xbox 360 and PS3 promos come without a manual or any disc-art, but otherwise are identical to regular retail games. The words "promo only - not for resale" are also clearly printed on the discs.

Killzone 2 will be released exclusively for PS3 from 27th February. There's a PSN demo to be tried until then.

I have managed to get a copy :)
Perfect time for me to complete the campaign mode and get used to game play before the servers start running.

(My Xbox360 got its' ring of death the night before I got this promo copy so timing couldn't be better).

There isn't an Xbox version, Killzone 2 is only for the PS3. That sentence from Eurogamer just tells about promotional media for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in general. Yes I got confused about that too but I managed to work it out fast enough.

I paid nothing! :)
A friend who doesn't play games works for the official importer in my country. Normally only gets Sony games but managed to get MSG too.

It also came with Resistance 2, Lord of the Rings:Conquest and Singstar ABBA.
Well for free I can't complain at all.
I've just been lucky and in the right place at the right time.
