As part of a cross-promotion deal, Sony is throwing in a perk for those that purchase Guerrilla Games’ gritty shooter Killzone 3 in the form of early access to the SOCOM 4 multiplayer beta. A PSN code that grants entry is included with all North American copies of KZ3. Participating retailers include GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon.

Further details regarding the beta opportunity will emerge on the official SOCOM site as February 22 nears, the launch date for Killzone 3.
