On the other hand, making me a beta tester for games I paid AAA prices for leaves me with a very negative feeling. You only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Also, while some genres can be fixed after release, some can't because they aren't very replayable.

A number of adventure games, for example -- you're probably not going to play through them many times. If you blow the initial release, you kind of blew the experience.
