The online beta for Socom: Navy Seals Confrontation has been pushed back to September 5 to allow the developers to "bump up the experience".

"Because we are working so hard to ensure the final product is fantastic, we've decided to push back the Public Beta date just a few days in order to bump up the experience even more," said SCEA's Seth Luisi.

The beta was due to kick off today for those who pre-ordered the game with select US retailers.

"So, the new launch date for the Public Beta is now Friday, September 5th (QORE members will start the following Friday, September 12)," he went to clarify.

Don't worry about the release of the final game though. "The good news is that we are still on track to delivering a kick-ass experience come October," reassured Luisi.

"The other good news is that we are not cutting down the length of the Public Beta one bit. It will still run for a full month - from 9/5 to 10/5 - so you and your clanmates can still practice as long as you want and then be ready to go for the full game later in October."

Sony is yet to reveal plans for a similar beta for UK.
