    TWD rolled out with very bare code, and Star Trek also was very bare in those first videos.

    Those 2 come to mind immediately. So, no I don't think its a new thing. There will be software updates every week or 2 for the first couple of months.

    Quoted from twenty84:

    Calling the code beta is largely a semantic issue

    I agree. The Stern release model is well known to us now. The factory production schedule rules everything, and games will ship as they are manufactured, not when software is ready.

    I suppose if anything, if the term "beta" is new, it at least acknowledges that the software is early and there is no expectation that it is final.
