Yup. I got accepted a couple of days ago I think.
My experience went like this:
<Check email> "Oooh, a code for the MAG beta
"
<Redeem the code... download 260MB ish from the store.>
"Hmm. That's a bit small?"
<Run installer>... "ah, another 30something MB update to download. OK, still a bit small though?"
<Run beta app>... "Ah, 2 1/2 GB to download. That must be the actual thing itself"
<Download...download...download...download...downl oad...> "What? Still only 5%?!"
"Hmm. Just like the crappy MGO beta, this is using some sort of ultra-slow P2P method to download the actual beta itself. Awesome
"
"This sucks! It's taking ages, plus it can't be set to background download, so you have to leave the PS3 running for x hours with the beta's P2P app running away slowly downloading. Screw this!"
<goes to quit the download>
"Hmm. Doesn't even have a quit button, so I have to use the PS button to quit via the XMB."
<quits via XMB>
<deletes the beta>
Why on Earth is the full beta file not available on the PSN Store? [Like Uncharted 2's beta]
Why do you have to first download some stupid P2P app & then use P2P to download the beta? [Unlike Uncharted 2's beta]
I mean, the Uncharted 2 beta managed it perfectly, none of this P2P nonsense. You simply downloaded the full main thing via the Store using a redeem code, and That.Was.That.
It's not like this is by some tiny indy dev: Zipper are owned by Sony, surely Sony can give them some Store space & bandwidth for people to download the beta?
I can't be bothered...

Apparently, if you applied, you *will* get in.
