[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 33140, member: 1233"] 360 isn't a definite no (I mean Rock Band managed it with the Rock Band Network) it's just very very unlikely. Problem is, creating an open beta test is silly and pointless and super expensive; they'd have to basically create an extra subscription based service to recruit beta testers... for the purpose of ONE table. The Rock Band Network worked because it was dealing with potentially 40+ tracks coming in for review every week, it needed loads of beta testers to make it possible for songs to go through... easing the workload of the staff so they could concentrate on other things. Considering Farsight do closed beta tests in the offices anyway; and there never seems to be more than two tables being tested at any one time given the way their production line works... opening it up to the public that way would be pretty pointless. The final nail in the coffin is that beta testing would ultimately require a title update too so that the game could recognize beta tables... but considering we need the data from completed tables in order to create the patches to allow the tables working... it's not going to happen.
