Yeah...I am starting in a new city as well to see the difference in starting story. It is getting ready to start in 11 days now...when are they going to let us download the client...come on SE...let's do this!!! LOL
I am hoping they let us continually play on the BETA portion unless there are major issues...we don't get to keep the character so there is no harm in letting us go ape sh^% and play the hell out of the PS4...that should be what they want us to do like a normal beta. They do probably have this already vetted out pretty good though and so I could see it being a 3-4 day deal...I really hope we get to play the whole time though.
