Anybody want to share any insight on when these will start to occur?

Given that all consoles have the exact same specs, and that the server technology is the same as the PC/Mac version, they might just limit it to closed testing of the clients.

Than why would they let you sign up for beta on ps4 and X1? They still HAVE to beta the consoles as the use of controllers is so much different than the keyboard/mouse setup.

Just like the american server had an issue that the eu server did not, the console servers need testing, balancing, load testing, data testing, bug testing, interface, feedback, grouping etc... My guess is we'll start seeing news on this in a week or two.

And they can still pick you for a closed test (I never said in house), but the point is, that they don't need to stress test their megaservers. That and fewer hardware combinations (read third party controllers) mean less testers required.
