If the beta releases are NO BETTER, NO MORE STABLE or complete than ANY beta version, why bother ever calling it a *final* release?? I seem to recall the final releases are a bit more stable and have been tested a great deal more. Am I wrong?? It seems that in the past, beta releases tended to break a lot of games but the final releases had most of the obvious ones fixed.

: : At least for me, I like to burn each final release onto disks and archive them. Then I tend to not keep up with the next batch of games until maybe 8 months down the road. I'm sure many people are doing the same thing.

: Just burn what you have, and wait 8 months before doing it again.
