Thanks to a partnership with Dodge, we revealed last week that players pre-ordering Defiance will also get an exclusive in-game red Dodge Challenger at launch, in addition to the previously announced pre-order reward items. The Dodge Challenger is the fastest vehicle in the game and players in the BETA will get to test drive it first by competing in the Dodge time trial challenge located in Madera.

So... Is there a way to get one -other- than pre-order?

At first my reaction was kind of, "Ehhh that sounds a bit scummy, especially with it being the fastest one in the game. That rubs me the wrong way."
I think it's hilarious how much Dodge puts the Challenger in product placement, I always see blatant placement for it in tons of shows, eg: Burn Notice and Breaking Bad. There's many other examples I've seen but those are just the two that immediately come to mind. Product placement is something I don't mind at all, because they're getting money from a company for something that doesn't affect me whatsoever, hopefully lessening the amount I'd have to pay anyway.
Defiance, the massive, online open world shooter, coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, is launching world-wide on April 2nd. The game is currently in closed testing and the last official beta weekend (and the NDA lift) is scheduled for March 22nd. Twitch and Defiance have teamed up to provide Twitch broadcasters exclusive early access to the PC closed testing environment from Friday, March 15 at 8AM PST through Sunday, March 17 at 9PM PST. The Twitch broadcasting community will be the only folks (besides the devs) to ever stream from these servers: it's yours for the whole weekend.
I'm just wondering why the PS3 dudes get to have a beta for longer >_>, until the 25th. Seems dumb. Not sure whether I'll really have the time to dip into both this AND the Neverwinter beta that weekend.

To wit, because I don't think they've beta'd it at all before now, as I'm pretty sure the first and second weekends were PC only.

Welp, they're bringing the server down now, probably in preparation for tomorrow - doesn't officially start until then, but the email does say "Once you are in – start streaming!"
I've been following the game for awhile, but I just saw the commercial today where if you preorder you get an in-game dodge car(modified to fit the games theme though). If you are going to have advertisements in your game like the dodge car, maybe you could pass those savings along to the consumer and not make the game $60.
I got the "Youre a twitch streamer, go here to sign up for your access" but havent received my info from trion to actually download the client to start. It'll be a while before im able to do anything unfortunately.

edit: also, Steam's preorder gives "Beta invite, once the beta is available."
Well, they better hurry it up with that, March 22-24 will be the last beta weekend before launch.

Still though, got me a beta key so good times.

and then:
Nope, that is totally rad, please continue.

I signed up for it, we'll see if I get approved.
Are there any sort of qualifications for this? I doubt I'd qualify regardless as I only just started streaming a week ago, but I'm still interested.

Also, I plan on going cloak at first, gonna make a Ghost :P
(thanks for the Ego calc)
Yep, got mine too. Downloading the alpha now - that's a different client from the beta client for the weekend.
edit: just checked, my beta client won't update because there's no beta running.
