Yeah I thought these times were a joke too.

1700-2000

This rules out most working adults since most common jobs don't finish until 1700 and then you need subtract travel time to get home which can be quite long.

The other time is the middle of the night which is stupid for obvious reasons.

Who is this for? School kids and the unemployed?

Not only that, it's also from Monday to Friday which means you cannot play during the week-end... What were they thinking?

Well I just checked out and you are actually right, if you want to play the beta, launch the game before the scheduled hours, it will take time to download everything...

GMT not BST :P In BST it would be 18h-21h

It's not preferable time but I guess we'll have to make do!

I was really envious of my mates who got in. Until I found out the limited times meaning none of them can play it. I will just have to continue enjoying the U2 beta instead

To be fair its only a beta and they can set it up however they want.
