What would the hassle be to buy it at the low price and set it aside until the feedback is good? If you have that much self-discipline, you're a better person than I am. Leaving unopened software on my shelf would be about as hard as walking past a tray of freshly baked cookies without taking one. I'm just not that strong. :) At this point, P5 is a functional reasonably stable product, and it is fun to use. I can keep having fun without spending any money at all. And they might convince me to buy the beta version, they just haven't yet.
