lol xbox fanboys are so negative on here.

Glad I play the playstation, I'm about to play God of War Ascension for now until March 19th lol.

As I've stated numerous times...

Consoles = specific hardware configuration.

PC = Varying setup from rig to rig. Operating system version, processor, video card, amount of memory, driver issues, etc... all
issues that aren't a problem on console.

Fair enough. I'll keep myself out of trouble until the fateful day :-)

No, there's a difference. Without a pre-order every person signed up has a RANDOM chance of being selected for beta. You could get beta access WITHOUT a pre-order. Pre-purchase, however, as a kudos, just gives a person a guaranteed beta access code.

Honestly, both of you are right. BETA codes HAVE in fact become a pre-order incentive ALONGSIDE being a means to test the game. Let's be honest with our selves and admit that in this case it really FEELS more like a incentive when we SPECIFICALLY discuss the 360 BETA. Why take the chance of signing up when if you pre-order (at the stores that you won't want to cancel due to the fact you don't get an actual refund) you are guaranteed access. I'm honestly a half-full/half-empty kind of guy...but I really can't see two sides to this gimmick.

look like I will have to preorder the ps3 version. But I still will be buying this for the 360

We should all be happy we are getting a Beta at all some games dont give one to gamers at all.

Because you should sign up for a pre-order for the rest of the things it offers, and because everyone who pre-ordered both on pc, ps3, and xbox had no idea until now about how these beta events would spread out. ( or at least for the last day when it comes to the pc side ).

Everyone had a fair hand in the pot, and this is why people should not pre-order just for 'betas' but rather they should look for the actual goodies that are provided with it, and / or to help show support for a game they like.

They've chosen that these should be proper dates, and its within their rights as you were never really entitled to a specific amount of time x.

This looks like the ps3 servers apparently need more testing then the Xbox servers. That's good news

I'm glad I get the opportunity to try this game out, really looking forward to it. However, as a gamer I understand this isn't a time for me to have a Vip or early access to this game. It's a time for the Dev. team to correct as much bugs as possible before the game is released. As a gamer I look at xbox having a 2 day access is a good thing, where as PS3 needs a lot more.... looks like it needs more attention and work. I just sit back and continue to read the bickering on my lunch breaks.

P.S aren't people Thankful for anything anymore?

I agree with u i would just like an OFFICIAL comment as 2 why the difference.

thats what im talking about sledge a whole week for ps3 that is awesome now i def will be able to try out the pc version =]

I find it hilarious how many people I keep seeing assuming the pre-orders on 360 just have to be more than any other system. Why would that be logically? PC has done MMOs longer than any other system, and PS3 are the more MMO-friendly console. To date, 360 hasn't really supported any MMO... so I really don't see where that "assumed" logic might stem from. oO

As of last week, the U.S. total pre-orders are higher on Xbox than either of the other platforms, even if it isn't by much. I don't know the global statistics, but for American gamers...

Xbox - 28,836
PC - 24,275
PS3 - 21,426
