Japanese Dirge of Cerberus beta starts

TOKYO--The wait is nearly over for gamers who have been wanting to participate in the Japanese beta testing of Square Enix's Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. Square Enix has announced it will begin beta-testing the game's multiplayer online mode in Japan starting tomorrow. The company previously planned on starting the beta test September 1 but delayed it due to some last-minute issues in the game's programming. Square Enix is still shipping beta-testing kits to Play Online members who signed up to participate.
