Pre-order the game and submit your receipt by Nov. 15 for guaranteed access in the beta.

The DC Universe Online beta has officially started! Sony Online Entertainment has launched a new page on the game's site that lets players who pre-ordered the game submit their receipts for guaranteed access into the beta. Players who submit their receipt by Nov. 15 will definitely receive a beta key by Nov. 30.

If you submit your receipt after Nov. 15, SOE will still send you a beta key on or before the last week of beta so you can participate in the "Battle of the Legends" beta ending event. The event will be held for several days and is based on the battle staged in the DCUO cinematic featuring Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor and The Joker. In case you missed it, check out the director's cut of the cinematic after the jump.

If you don't want to pre-order the game, you can still register on the DCUO site for a chance to participate in the beta. Have you pre-ordered DC Universe Online?
