socom-invite-490 Joystiq reports that those who pre-order SOCOM Confrontation will get three beta keys, two of which can be given away to friends. This only applies when pre-ordering from Gamestop, and you and your friends will have to BFF, as the deal will be rendered void should either party decide to end the friendship.

The site notes that Sony keeps a “very strict” friends-only policy. The public beta begins September 1 for pre-orders and September 8 for Qore subscribers.
