Just one thing more: an exclusive release of ANYTHING means a bottleneck. A bottleneck == frustrated people.
This would go for a release exclusively through bittorrents as well. How many "average" gamers actually use them? Not the thousands of people that play computer games every day, but the people who use the computer to play a game every couple of days?
I'm not in the loop about bittorrents, though I consider myself an "average" gamer. I don't use much in the way of p2p software.
Personally I think the beta should be assured widest dissemination possible. Which means simultaneous release through all channels, from bittorrents to CD's in magazines.
