To get acces to the PS2 beta.
All links goto link.e-sonyonline.com. I obviously did not load the images.

It is legit

It is not a phishing email.
Alright thanks, also for the pm.
Really weird, this mail set all my alarm bells off. It looks not really profesional at all. Plus all the pay $40 to get beta acces stuff didn't seem legit. And obviously the e-sonyonline.com, since sonyonline.com still works.
Did you know you can phish by using false email addresses? People use legit warcraft ones all the time that route back to them. Not saying this is a bluff or anything, just a little advice thing.
I recieved regular e-mails from ANet with "Pre-purchase to get beta access." seems to be the S.O.P. these days.
Thing is, GW2 is B2P and at some point you'd have to shell out the money for it anyway.
PS2 is F2P, no? So they are basically selling you 40USD worth of station cash with a game that will be free upon launch as the hook...
Yeah a quick google search would have told you they use a third party to deliver all their bulk communication.
That being said i reacted the very same way when i got it, they really should have made more effort to explain to users
This have been a good conversation
you get 4000 sony cash aswell at launch. They say that's worth 40$. Plus unlike GW2 you can play everyday 6am pst - 12am pst.
