Exactly..EVERYTHING is in a beta version... the only difference between the beta version and the final version is that it hasnt been poked, prodded, tested by the consumer..so they pretty much finalize the game and send the beta version to get tested and report any glitches. glitches are resolved the final version is presented, mass produced and distributed.
