Beta Testing Schemes

[Angus]

Mods - please move if this should go in the core section.

I found this http://www.usr.com/inside/i-online_EmailBeta4.asp whilst browsing the USRobotics site - allows you to register to become a beta tester - with the incentive of possible free stuff.

Anyone know any other sites that do similar beta testing signups?

Don't know any others, but I am quite interested in becoming a beta tester for US Robotics..
I know you can beta test for some gaming companies like testing patches and stuff but don't know about Hardware companies.
Mmmmmm, free stuff

Most of the larger games publishing houses all have beta signups on their website.

It seems you need some sort of a guest ID issued by microsoft to be a beta tester here.
