COnsoles don't get beta updates, we get it when it's complete and tested, thanks to the PC's efforts in playing the game.

im not sure if hes complaining or just confused...
if your confusedthe pc users get the beta updates first when its tested and some of the bugs are ironed out they send it to Microsoft or Sony for the Xbox and ps3. as for the Dawnguard question i think it might be a DLC but im not entirely sure my self.
now if your complaining then i only have this to say... svck it up and deal with it, your an Xbox user your the one who gets pampered because bill gates wants to keep your business and gets everything for you first. quit your whining

Main reason Pc gets the Beta updates?
Convenience.
The open nature of a PC, plus the usefulness of using Steam means that Beta patches can be rolled out quickly, are easier to make optional (You HAVE to opt into the Beta if you want to take part, if you don't opt in, the Beta isn't downloaded and installed) and doesn't require certification.
On the consoles, patches have to pass by Sony and Microsoft for certification first and that can take time, sometimes up to two weeks, hence the delay between the PC final release for each patch and the consoles getting each patch.
If they tried to beta the patches on the consoles, they'd have to send each beta for certification and by the time each beta was passed and released, the PC would be two or three betas ahead at minimum.
