Since the Wii , Xbox 360 and PS3 now allow games to be downloadable via their online networks through the consoles. 

Capcom must of spent a great deal of time and money developing Resident Evil 1.5 (R.P.D. Police Station)

and Resident Evil 3.5 (Leon with the Hook Man). 

Clearly these games are sitting around in a vault somewhere in Capcom's Osaka or Tokyo headquarters. 

Why not just charge $10 to users to be able to download these semi-completed games/versions and play it ? 

At least Capcom can make a good chunk of it's money back. 

Still must be a way to release the beta version right? 

I mean if Capcom gets a million Resident Evil fans to dish out $10 that is 10 million dollars made. 

I think a lot of fans would like to see the direction Capcom was thinking about going with the series as oppose to where it's going now. 

Add in some interesting content. 

"The making of a Resident Evil game"

"Preview of Resident Evil 6 concepts" 

Something that will feed the masses. 

The Wesker DVD did pretty well online right? Are there not people still dropping $10 to $20 for that and it's only 30 minutes in length.

You should be aware that what you are asking is the equivalent of asking a movie company to release a movie where the green screen, wires, and un-edited takes are still in the footage.

a beta is a work in progress not a game.

Agreed.

Those things are covered with bugs & all sorts of glitches.

I'd buy it.

It would be very interesting to see all the ideas they originally had.
