Why wait so long? I would think the devs want to sort through bug reports, game problems, balancing, etc on the PC because it's the easiest system to report on. You've got guys in-game, on the forums, etc that can really produce a lot of reports. Console gamers are not traditionally known for their bug reporting.

Waiting until the last month will build the hype and really kick off the release possibly with an all out open beta for all platforms.

That would be my guess and would seem logical. I know people want that console beta in their hands... but I imagine the devs want the game polished first.

I dont know if they plan on it but, they should have it soon enough. Seems to be a April 2nd 2013 release. There is plenty of time from here to now for them to get the all the betas rolled out for each platform.

@Primus Palus
I'm just hoping I get a shot at it on the 360, as I do report crashes and bugs. I'm doing that for Crysis 3 until 8pm today. As I have been for both the 360 and PC. I'd test the PS3 for Betas but I dont know where it went during my move last year in October 2012. Seems to have gotten misplaced after all my hard work to keep it in plain sight. Oh never mind I just finally found it, lol. I know most console gamers haven't the best track record in crash reports and debugg logging but I do. Since I multi-platform my games.

Defiance's TV show looks pretty cool enough. Although I have Hulu and not Scifi, so the only other way I'd get to watch it is on Amazon when I buy it on DVD or Stream/download it or on Hulu Plus streaming it to my 360. Do they plan to have the game and TV series launch the same day?

The show is set for an April 15th release. But they'll also be working on other means to bring the show to you besides JUST the SyFy channel. Not everyone has that, and it's hard when your provider doesn't support the channel. I imagine Amazon will offer episodes, Hulu, Netflix, etc.

That sounds awesome, I hope they do allow other sources. In the mean time I just dropped 150$ on the Game-Stop Exclusive for the X360. So I'm hoping it turns out good instead of a rushed idea like the licensed DC or marvel V-Games of old. Superman-64 anyone? :S

I don't think you have much to worry about. Take a look at some of the feeds or videos floating around and they should put your mind at ease.

I can confirm the Hulu part. They already have a section set up, with the premier trailer up for view.

Plus, most people have a USB keyboard that will be plugged into the 360. I'm sure that Beta 3 will be the start of Xbox 360 beta, but if not.. We'll see it probably near the end of the March month. Really excited to get out there on 360, and killing me some mutants with my friends from here, and around the world :D MUAHAHAH!!

@SeroRamai:

"Your my~hero!" <3

:cool: LoL ... I'm definitely watching it on Hulu then! From the looks of everything- it looks good but looks can be deceiving. I've learned my lesson about that thanks in part to Call of Duty in general.

Speculations:
I can also see the 22-24 being a good beta weekend. Maybe it will also be Open Beta and no NDA crap.

@IGears:
That could be possible but I predict the month of March might be both on PS3 and 360, I dont mind if I'm wrong though. PS3 is an odd duck, it likes to claim temporary "exclusive" rights to everything on the PlayStation Store which is like the Xbox Marketplace in the regards that they both push digital content. The Ps3 could be what's holding us back if they are trying to dispute the exclusivity rights. In either case Ps3 would usually be the week before 360 because of this anyway you put it.
