According to Kotaku, the All Points Bulletin closed beta is officially under way. Accepted players have received e-mails that give details on when they can play, which seems to be quite limited right now. Posters on the Eurogamer forum are saying that the beta is currently open on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings from 7-11 p.m., with the first hour being reserved for the "Social District" only.

You can still apply to be a part of the beta test on the official APB site. Check out the recent podcasts to see some actual gameplay in action, which certainly has that Grand Theft Auto feel.
