COD4: Call of Duty 4 Moderan Warefare 3 Million Beta Participants

[nekon]

So there you have it.. IW has room for three million beta testers! Using IWbad's rough math that means they expect half of XBL to participate in this beta.. Whatever happens I think it's safe to say everyone who does want to participate will get the chance.

honestly? It's the install base. I dont even know how many people own a xbox360 but the number of live users is 6 million. 6 million!!! PS3 network doesn't come even close to that.

and i'm NOT saying the 360 is better than the PS3...it's just been around longer, and xbox live has been around for a very very long time. I'm sure PS3 will catch up, seeing how it's a great system.

no one in the industry wants the PS3 to fail, having multiple systems is great for software and hardware...it keeps the 2 big boys competeing with eachother which drives down costs, forces great product, and makes developers make better games...the day where only one console company has a monopoly is the day when console gaming will die again ( remember atari? )

so we hope and we're sure the PS3 network will catch up...just not in time for our beta, which will have 3 million participants, we needed a large install base to ensure we got it out to enough people to test.

As for his personal feelings towards the lack of a PS3 beta, lol. They put that video up talking about how much they're spending on 3rd party beta participant keys.. they overshoot and pay for three million keys.. yet neglect the PS3 all together. I wouldn't doubt that M$ paid the tab.

Well like the image says check back for updates.. so sign-up over at the official site and check it for update .

Reps of IW claim forum members will see benefits for having signed up but with a three million participant beta I don't know what more they could offer besides some lanyards or hats..
