If I was in charge of a company whose servers are at the brink of crashing down from an overload, then I would've done the same thing.

don't apologoze man i saw this site a while ago but the subscribers from fileplanet still havent recieved a confirmation. So unless i see someone actually use the beta or even get a download link then i'll be convinced but you rased a good point, so thats why i say good job man.There is nothing to apologize.

Subscription is a rather ambiguious way of saying you must register on the site. It's just basically give an email address, name and a few other details, then choose to get their newsletter or not.

Fileplanet has the same sort of system as we do here at SimV ...... You can, if you wish, pay for a faster download and other sevices.

I downloaded the demo from both Fileplanet and Gamespot. Gamespot proved to be the quicker...... they also have a similar system where you can pay for a quicker download and no queue.

I would suggest that the beta will be available wether you pay or not..... however waiting for the download if you don't pay will make it unreasonable.

No one will be forced to pay.

surely m$ wouldn't let fileplanet take the money so that they could make a profit from m$ hard work, if you do have to pay M$ will; get a pretty large chunk of the profit, but M$ also said public beta not whoever subscribes to fileplanet gets it everyone else doesn't beta so it SHOULD (hopefully) be available free to everybody.

When its released even if you do have to pay for it it'll probably be uploaded to other websites anyway, which will allow you to download it for free (its the way of the universe)

That's correct. Fileplanet only charges you for the extra resources it takes to provide the subcriber with the fastest download speed possible. It's a beta for crying out loud. Are you willing to wait two weeks in the virtual line [especially on dial-up] in order to download the beta through a "free and public" server at 30kb/s or less?

With the subcription, I can download other things that are available "faster" and without waiting in the mean time [like downloading a mod for Medal of Honor]. ;D

"Fileplanet is not making any money on the Beta, just the subscription if you want to sign up"

LMAO ;D, In other words: "the beta is free but only available from my friend who has his head up my ***, after you give him $16 he might or might not let you have access to this 'FREE' product.

I mean, c'mon guys.

The outcome of this is going to be a situation where someone is allowed to cash-in. Any 'beta' reviews will yet again be written by a 'select' few who will not criticise the product, and will not be accountable for

Select few? With forums like SimV, there are no select fews. ;)
