PlayStation Now: Sign up for a chance at closed beta participation?

Sony launched a sign-up page for the newly announced PlayStation Now, but that doesn't mean anyone will have access to the closed beta program.



Here's the site that displays "PlayStation Now: Bringing Game Streaming to Consoles," and gives a brief synopsis of what the service is. Anyone can enter their full name, zipcode, and PSN ID (optional) to register.

According to GameSpot, those that sign-up will have a chance at participating in the closed beta, but it doesn't guarantee it. It's unknown exactly how Sony will do that.
Leaving your name, email, address, and PlayStation Network ID will allow you to receive "exclusive information" about PlayStation Now, but no other details are available.
Sony will offer a beta for PlayStation Now starting at the end of the month, but it's not clear how the company will choose participants. Signing up at this website does not guarantee you access.
I signed up in a matter of seconds, and all it says afterwards is "Thank you for registering" after clicking on the "REGISTER NOW" link. There has been no confirmation e-mail or anything sent to inbox or spam folder 5-10 minutes after registering.

Who knows what this will actually do, but it will be interesting to see how many spots Sony opens up for closed beta and when the announcement comes that it has launched.
