Greetings and Congratulations!

This letter is to notify you that you've been chosen as a confirmed Beta Tester to test PlayOnline(TM), FINAL FANTASY(R)XI and Tetra Master(TM) on the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system. The Public Beta Test will begin in June. A Beta Test kit including the Internal Hard Disk Drive (40GB) (for PlayStation(R)2) will be mailed to the address you've provided in the coming weeks with detailed instructions.

Important - Beta Testers

The HDD shipped for use in the public beta test for PlayOnline, FINAL FANTASY XI and Tetra Master is only compatible for use with the PlayOnline, FINAL FANTASY XI and Tetra Master beta test software. Use or attempted use with any other software or use outside of the beta test may harm or interfere with the operation of your PlayStation(R)2 system or other devices.

Upon conclusion of the Beta Test, Sony Computer Entertainment America requires you to return the beta test HDD in the original beta kit box using the return-shipping label enclosed in your kit.

Once Sony Computer Entertainment America receives the beta test HDD unit and in appreciation for your participation in the Beta Test, SCEA will send you a new consumer HDD unit, free of charge.

Please reference the Beta Test Handbook for details (inside your Beta Test Kit). If you have any questions, please reply to this email address and include your full name in your letter.

Thank you for your continued interest and support of PlayOnline.

See you online,
