The following was originally poster on the outline section of the Road to 2.0.

"・September to October 2012
– Begin distribution of version 2.0 software for PC
- Begin distribution of PlayStation®3 system beta version
・October to November 2012
– Reinstate limited free trial period for PC version
- Commence PlayStation®3 system closed beta test"

Furthermore, I remember Yoshida saying in an interview that there would be a month between server shut down, and launch.

I just dont understand why we now need 3 or 4 months of no game to play. I'm fine with a delay of launch. I want them to do whatever it takes to make it perfect, but they should delay the server shut down too, so we can keep playing.
