Like any computer program, the first set up and programming framework of a game is usually called an "alpha", which is usually in a state where the basic mechanics work, but the game is largely unfinished. A "beta" version of a game is a game that is mostly finished, in fact usually *is* finished as far as the developers are concerned, but they are not confident to release it yet because they are working on a few more features, looking for errors and bugs to fix, or just want a final review of how well they produced the product before finally committing to mass production and selling the finished product. Essentially, a video game beta is a test version that is almost complete.

Beta shop was deleted after the game was pronounced released. Although the shop was deleted, the Beta Berserker remains in game.
Usually all Xbox 360 games go through beta testing. In order to beta test a game, the game will usually send out invites or have contests so players can get a beta invite and test the game before the game comes out to the general public.

I have played many video games in my life...there are very few but the ones I know of are- The Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole Video Game Arokai Arokai isn't out as of yet, there is said to be a beta coming out in April/May 2011. There are Owls, Canines, Felines and Dragons in this online 3D game.
Beta is the pre release game for testing and does not have a charge but expires with the release of the game
