Not useful for what a Beta is originally intended to do, finding and fixing bugs, of course marketting is a positive, but then again, wouldn't it be a better idea to not have temporary bugs or glitches put a bad taste in the mouths of people?
In the end I think we agree though, people need to be able to get their hands on a barebones Splatoon multiplayer demo/beta to increase awareness and allow for an online community to grow more easily.
I think Nintendo will do something similar to the demo code distribution for Smash Bros. It really got the hype train going.

You're assuming there are any glitches, which I saw none of at E3. The game already was running so smoothly and has it's core gameplay mechanics down, and that was over 6 months ago. I guess I shouldn't call it a beta though since what I'm imagining would be just like with Uncharted 3, an online multiplayer demo 2-3 weeks before the game releases.

I assume there are glitches and bugs because of the term Beta being used, but as mentioned, in the end we want the same thing, a way for people to play Splatoon and share their experiences without the €60 barrier. Youtube channels will provide free marketting and online communities can start to grow. Your Uncharted 3 example sounds like something I can get behind, similar to the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS demo that was released 2 weeks before the release of the final game.
