If you're wondering why there's no PlayStation 3 beta for Super Street Fighter II Turbo Remix HD, Capcom Senior Director of Strategy Christian Svensson has offered an explanation via the official forums. What it came down to, he said, was resource constraints, and it was easier to use Xbox Live for global tests. The test will "absolutely help the PS3" and, while he would ideally like a test on both platforms, it would've caused a delay of the game.
Svensson concluded with a challenge, of sorts. "When you show me someone running a cross platform beta... I'll be impressed, because that's a hell of an investment," he said. "Lastly, keep it civil. If this thread turns to threats or hyperbole, I'm closing it." As it turns out, he did end up closing the thread. So it goes.

Says beta, therefore, the attempt is to make it better :)

Am I the only person here who doesn't care what platform the beta is on, but asks the burning question "When can I use my six-button Genesis controller to play?"

Nintendo patented the cross-pad, but they're all to damn small. The Gamecubes D-pad was like half the size of the DS's, The Wiimotes is way too small as well. GEEZ! The classic controller is probably the best for D-pad this gen. :(

I just read the thread on Capcom's site. How can a gamer get so angry over whether or not a beta is going to be on PSN? And when said angry gamer starts going on about how Capcom constantly gives Sony the Montreal Screwjob, I was laughing over the ludicrousness.
Alot of these platform loyalists need to take up calm hobby like stamp collecting, meditating, painting, or bird watching.
