I was on the closed beta of BP (or at least I was until I moved country and got a job).
First impressions were that it is very pretty, and certainly a lot nicer to play than Jumpgate or any of VO's other twitch competitors. However, it still didn't fly as nicely as VO. My old machine was really powerful enough to do it justice either. I haven't got it loaded on my new machine, but I might try to get it back when I'm in the UK at the end of March. I also got it to work in Arizona in October, so Europe only might not be quite true.
