Is it too late to buy Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, to play the Street Fighter Beta?

No, it's not too late. Getting the game at any time during the beta period will allow you to DL the SF Beta.

I would imagine it's not too late to buy the game, but WOTB is actually pretty good! If you like the Geometry Wars shooting mechanic and you are into co-op, you'll like it.

For as many times as they have released SF2, you think they would have a game that they wouldn't need to beta for 2 months.

The beta would be great if it wasn't really really broken.
Initially, I noticed that the sound was missing... I then noticed that the beta completely removed ALL sounds from my 360.
No startup sound, or menu sounds, My music will not playback from anywhere in the system.
I did manage to play one single game, in which I can't complain, but only having multiplayer, is very very lame... If you are going to spend $10 on commando 3, you will probably have more fun with commando than with this beta.

Cadaver... you do realize that betas are, by their very nature buggy, yes? A beta shouldn't be thought of as a demo, it exists solely for the developer to work out bugs ;)

I've had a few freezing problems, but otherwise, the beta is completly playable for me. Once you find out what causes problem, you just DON'T DO THOSE THINGS anymore.
Ranked Mode: Often Freezes at game creation screen.
Tourney Mode: Haven't had problems personally. Have heard of some odd ones, but they seem "rare".
Player Match: If you lag with 6 people, limit your game to less. Overall, I had one problem with this mode, that didn't appear again.
The game is quite playable, even though it has some oddities. I've done a few tourneys, and a load of player matches of various sizes. Avoid making ranked games, and you should be mostly ok!
Remember, it's a beta, and for that matter, an old build that they've surpassed. (They had to use an older build, to get it on Live by this time.) It's all very promising at this point...

Remember, make sure you voice your problems with the "beta", which is not really a demo... at: beta.capcom.com
actually, it just makes people more interested in playing the demo by calling it a cool name.
If you think just avoiding the problem, will fix it for everyone else, you are the reason people complain. Be assertive, and let Capcom know the problems.
And again, Shame on Capcom, sure it will be a great game. Similar to breast implants, the finished product is always better than the work in progress.

Is there a feedback system for them to collect information from the participants? If not, sounds like a demo to me.

I have had no technical issues with the beta at all.
My only complaint is the pile of shit that is the Dpad on the 360 controller.
As far as WOTB C3 goes, Its one of my fav arcade games to have releases. I did not get this just for SF beta. And the beta gets old really fast just playing with Ken and Ryu even though they are my fav characters it just gets old fast.
