Anyone else here get picked to Beta test console titles?
I was kind of shocked when I got picked to Beta test Battlefield: Modern Combat. One, because I've never been asked before and two, because my Playstation Underground profile pretty clearly shows I don't like FPS games. However, I decided to go ahead and try it. Glad I did because the game is a great cure for insomnia. It does have a few cool vehicles like tanks and boats, but overall its the same dull capture the flag stuff done a hundred times over in this genre that I can't stand for more than five minutes. I usually get bored right away and just decide to play the guy that goes psycho during the battle and start killing my own troops. I killed 47 of them the last time out. Yes, I should have turned the beta test down because its probably a good game, just not my cup of tea. The only online game like this I actually enjoyed playing was Crimson Skies.
Anyway, my actual question is how often do these beta tests happen? Is this something many of you do all the time? Is this a regular process all games go through?

Are you getting paid, or is your "payment" the fact that you got to play it early?
