i thought it was on friday not next week they said next week last friday.

I wasn't so much as questioning the timed exclusive as the reasoning behind beta testing a platform that wasn't the breeding ground for the bugs to begin with. Rather than assuming I am a fool and answering my own questions, perhaps a little deductive reasoning? It seems counter-intuitive.

[Louise Dennis]

The bugs are the same for every platform, the reason why ps3 doesn't get the updates to fix them is because Sony Doesn't approve them for a long time, microsoft approves them relatively fast, and PC has the option of playing without them as they can download them. So if the PS3 community would stop bickering at the studios for not releasing patches and realize that the reason they don't have patches is because The parent company of the console hasn't approved them. So stop complaining at Studios and start complaining at the real reason you don't have a patched game: SONY.

We usually get patches same time as xbox or a few days later.

It's purely business.
I understand why PS3 players get annoyed at 360 getting DLC's earlier on a few different series.
The reason is purely that people on xbox pay for online, majority of PS3 players don't. Microsoft does it so that people on xbox feel the moneys worth it.

I don't think that's the main reason, ps3 still gets exclusives often (ex: Ubisoft) in this particular case microsoft decided to try and get more business from skyrim players while sony did not

[Ana Torrecilla Cabeza]

PC gets the beta patches because its easy to deploy them. 360 gets the DLC beta because of the times exclusive crap. Whats left to question?

Yup.

PC get's patch beta's because Valve doesn't have all the same constraints on destribution as Microsoft and Sony. And 360 gets DLC beta because Microsoft shoveled a huge amount of money to gamesas.

So if there's anyone to blame for this (Which you really shouldn't), it's Sony.

[benjamin corsini]

The bugs aren't the same for every platform. Otherwise the ps3 and 360 wouldve had similar experiences, which they didn't. The cell architecture of the ps3 leads to differing performance based bugs that 360 users did not experience.

[Johanna Van Drunick]

I am sure this forum will be very empty after codes get sent out. Most of us new members will not come back haha I like it here though. Probably gonna stick around whether I get a code or not.

[Amanda Leis]

Hm, I guess I've had an account here for a while. I've never posted though but I have beta tested quite a few products in the past, even some I had to sign a NDA for. I have to say none have me as excited as this Dawnguard though. Fingers crossed!

Well, now that I posted it shows my actual post count...

Edit #2: I'm paranoid that I could have accidentally entered my email wrong. Would early registrations have priority over a registration done now?

[Rudy Paint fingers]

I own both systems because of this sorta thing. It is buisness and its always going to happen. Btw Hello, I'm new!

im not one to be have the experience to do this but:

no one has given you one yet

[matt white]

And then microsoft puts Advertisemants on the dashboard.... That is just unjust and unfair.

I don't see a problem with them. They aren't interupting you when you're on the dashboard, they just play silently in the corner until you select them.

I wasn't so much as questioning the timed exclusive as the reasoning behind beta testing a platform that wasn't the breeding ground for the bugs to begin with. Rather than assuming I am a fool and answering my own questions, perhaps a little deductive reasoning? It seems counter-intuitive.

It's not like the Beta was born because of the PS3, your singular platform isn't that important so as to create the need for the Beta by itself.

It's for many reasons that the Beta is being handled in this manner.

One is the timed exclusive. If they were to allow PS3 users into the public Beta, then it would most likely violate the terms of the timed exclusivity agreement where 360 users get access to the DLC a full thirty days before anyone else. Like others have said, blame Sony for not competing for the exclusivity, not Microsoft for money well spent. It's Sony's fault that you're not getting the DLC first.

Reason two would be because there are no bugs that the PS3 is having that the other platforms haven't also had. Since the same bugs seem to stretch across all platforms, it's simply easier to use the platform you designed the game on to Beta-test the bugs/glitches out of it.

Third reason could be common sense. Why would I have any kind of test on the system that runs it the worst? Then you wouldn't know what's a bug/glitch apart from just that particular console having a crappy port to it.

PS3 users aren't getting shafted with the Beta, they're getting shafted by their own console manufacturer.

[Lily Evans]

until recently I didnt realize being a werewolf protected you from disease, I guess my game is glitched so I was allowed to be both a werewolf and a vamp. You guys think putting both down will have an effect on me making it into the beta? I dont wanna come off as someone just bumping things up to look more appealing to the people selecting the beta. Again I didnt realize this until they said you couldnt be a vampire lord AND a werewolf

[Eire Charlotta]

I don't see a problem with them. They aren't interupting you when you're on the dashboard, they just play silently in the corner until you select them.

I feel like thats the problem. You should be upset about this. You are paying $50 a year and now you have to deal with ads in the middle of your screen. They shouldnt be there to begin with! MIcrosoft is greedy. Where for my ps3 online experience it is free and adless. Everything is layed out simply, and it is easy to navigate through. It is just greedy on Microsoft's part to do this.

[CHARLODDE]

I have been here for awhile too I guess I just never post. It seems like alot of people signed up for the beta which is cool because even if I dont get in the beta I want my DLC to be as bug free as ever when I hopefully get it june 26.

Not to nit-pick, but having joined on the 1st of May of this year is having been here awhile? O.o

lol

[Sophie Payne]

Most definitely looking forward to the beta if I get in. Got over 100 hours put into the game, so I'm ready for some fresh content. Seems like it would be fun offering feedback while testing it out.

[Toby Green]

I just signed up. hope i get in.

Paying for a service doesn't automatically mean that there will be no ads. (It's just that a lot of services do that to entice people into buying their particular service. And they do that as a service to themselves, so that they'll get more money out you, not to just give somebody an ad free experience.)

why are you so pissed? the ads aren't even bad. the ones in the middle of the screen tell you about new games (which is good). you don't even have to look at them, its not like they force you to watch them before playing any games.

[Blessed DIVA]

Whoa, I posted about microsoft being greedy a while back... Didnt think you guys would flare up like this.

No meaning to start a war or anything, it was just my personal opinion. I have been with 360 from the start and each year they do something to make me like them even less.

Charging 10 dollars for simple name changes.
Charging rediculous amounts for devs to update games compared to ps3
Advertising bullcrap on a service I am already paying for.
Murdering The orange box through legal disputes.
Etc.

Im selling it as soon as I am finished with dawnguard... But this Is my own opinion, not something I meant to get everyone upset about

Can we be done with this? The thread is about the Beta, not microsoft.

[Neil]

Regarding ^[DATA REDACTED]

I hope the beta goes well cause if Dawnguard gets push back, I will do unimaginable things to Falkreath. Still, I joined for the key and staying till Dagon dies cause the chill and cool attitude in the forums (Well, the attitude I've seen so far).

I'm totally (did I just type totally?) excited for Vampiric and Lycanthropic Skill Trees (Those are fancy ways of say vamps and werewolves )

I've already made an Imperial (first ever) to join the Dawnguard, leveling up One-handed & Archery.

Still, good travels to you fellow adventurers and on to Fort Dawnguard!

That was brother using the forums... changed pass.. Nah, I'd seriously rather have it then what he said..

I'm not expecting the e-mail since I never win these types of things.. <---- Boom.

[claire ley]

Just signed up and fingers are crossed. Looking at the credentials it looks like i have a decent chance of making it, seeing as i have one high level, two mid levels, two are vampires ones a werewolf, and even though it didn't come up in the survey, my werewolf is very high on the archery tree (crossbows). So psyched!

[Emily abigail Villarreal]

I signed up and am desperately await the response email. but about when will it come?

[FITTAS]

We don't know. The weekend, probably, IF you get in. It's not definite anyone will get in. I understand your excitement, though.
