Gaijin Entertainment is announcing the beginning of the beta test of the new combat flight simulator for the PC, Wings of Prey.

They're going about this in an interesting way. To participate in the Beta, you need to pre-order the product. You'll then be given access to the Beta and get Wings of Prey at a special price once released.

This strikes me as a pretty good idea. They'll be getting testers who are obviously interested in the program (as they've had to pay for it) and the testers get a good deal on the end product.
