I didn't understand the ad... Why make it so complicated?

Why put "beta"?seriously ...

Reminds of the brilliant Phillips' slogan: "Let's make things better" Sorry our current products aren't that great but we'll make them better.

Good to know they'll keep on beta testing the Xbox One in the future, they did start already right.

Tested is past tense... future is future time yet to happen... makes no sense and is stupid

I know what they are trying to say, but Lord does it come across poorly. Seems more they're saying they'll get around to Beta testing it sometime in the future. I'm sure your average customer would take it that way, too. And I definitely wouldn't be saying this with RROD very familiar in gamer's minds. Probably won't be too long before this ad is removed, or at least worded better.

The average customer isn't stupid; they'll get it. It's just a dumb way to say "This shit is the future".

If you put "To be" before it, it reads "To be beta tested in the future" and makes sense.  I see it as clever.  Problem is that it is too clever and you can have a field day with it, making it say stuff Microsoft likely doesn't want to convey.  Well, considering what Microsoft has sent out as messages, Orthy onward, sending out messages they don't want to convey seems to be their nore.
