Hahahaha everyone's hating on decrease beta time. The beta is not a demo, it's not entitled to anyone, it's a privilege. The beta is to test errors, errors which are different to each platform of their own. The obvious reason as to why xbox gets less amongst the rest is solely due to the fact that its servers require less testing. This is because xbox had an alpha running while ps3 did not. Before any of you post complaining about how they love ps3 more is frankly...an idiot or a troll....or both. Xbox has had much more testing done so in order to make it FAIR they added more time onto the ps3 servers so that both run at optimum levels.
Man what a bunch of whiny kids on this thread, Cancelling your preorder because you don't get as much time to play a beta is just ******ed. It's not like you get to test out 80% of the games that come out since most don't even have demo's much less a beta anymore. Yet you still shell out $100+ on those game for the deluxe edition without being able to play before hand. Stop *****ing over stupid things especially a damn game people. You don't want to "waste" your money fine by me, we don't want your whiny kind anyways.
i just wonder why you guys are not posting on the livestream thats going on right now....
You have clearly never been a part of a beta/stress test. No one wants to just demo the game. Regardless if the Xbox did get more in-house testing or not a Monday/Tuesday "stress test" is not going to test the servers will power at all! Come April 2nd we can all expect Error 37. Yipee.
The posters of this thread tonight ^
Exactly, they didn't HAVE to put in the pre order bonuses! Many games do not this, they may put up a demo but a beta isn't a common thing to throw around, especially for a simple pre order. This may be a rising trend in upcoming game but that doesn't mean people have to throw a fit just because the beta is below expectations. It's not a demo, it's a test and a test Defiance practically gave away, with no effort needed to get access.
