Works for me. I'm expecting further delays anyway.

You want PCVR to release at the same time as console so as not to fracture the community but you are not asking for the pc version to be delayed. What am I missing?
Beta is not release btw so an extended PC beta is still asking for a delay to release version

I will not buy Odyssey until it's released. So any half baked, unfinished alpha "releases" are meaningless to me, plus ... what happens in Alpha/Beta stays in Alpha/Beta - glorified demo is what most people will have paid for.

I will be playing Odyssey on PC.
Buy more ARX and they could!
Lol no. I have paid more upfront for ED than I have any other game. (MSFS2020 a very distant 2nd place) any money I put into ED now will be AFTER they release something I was not expecting/or really REALLY wanted but was worried was no longer coming and I feel is above and beyond.....
As a console owner, I see where you're coming from. But the community was split long before now. Xbox players couldn't land on planets for around a year due to no Horizions DLC, and PC players.......could. The community survived.
The community has been split for years now. Commanders limited to playing within their own platform. True unification won't be achieved until cross-play comes to this game, and there's probably more chance of Megaship Piracy being fixed right now so.....yeah.
Forget the past. Let's not compound problems caused by previous decisions any further. March into the future, together!
I would be ok with that. The future is not 2013 hardware which was even "meh!" Back then. May as well ditch Xbox1 and PS4 then if you want to march into the future and not hamstring hardware released this decade.
I think a lot would complain.
FDev sold a PC only pre-order. Regardless of yours (or anyone else's) thoughts on pre-orders, many people have forked over money. Console users have no skin in this expansion yet. If they took pre-order money for a game not coming out for another 9 months, when it was sold as something coming "early 2021", I think people would go ape sh*t. FDev would be looking at having to deal with a group of people who would be demanding their pre-order money back, bad publicity, or worse.
There is no good reason to push the release back for console players. It's not like there is no precedence of variance in releases by platform. The PC version came out before the XBox version which came out before the PS4 version. In each case there was an "unfair advantage" to the previous platform, but everyone lived through it and you will live through this one too.
I think whats needed now is some sort of Cobra Mk 5 exclusive to calm these choppy waters, shortly before an unannounced Twitch drop for exclusive items.
I kid! But I could see the flames from space if it happened...

Don't delay. Release as a beta. There's no need to delay release, just don't enable live service until all platforms are ready. That way we can prevent splitting the community up.
I don't think many people would be excited about playing a beta for 6 months just to have everything they've done wiped because "it's not fair to consoles". There's trillions of things to put your name on in this game. A six month head start isn't going to make a measurable difference.
I understand that the sensible, non-selfish view is not going to be popular with some individuals on this forum, and that's ok. But think of it this way, perhaps if they did it like this, you'd get a half stable live release.
C'mon dude, it's obvious that the only reason you created this thread is because you envy the PC master race. 
Elite is not the first game to have different release dates for different platforms, and considering that the vast majority of the player base are on PC, delaying the release date for that platform just because the minority are getting it delayed is stupid.
People that complain about the console delay would be the first here to create "Odyssey on consoles is unplayable, how typical of Frontier" threads if the devs went ahead with the console launch.

I have a PC, dude, and I'm not suggesting a delay.
I still think it is a mistake ED ever launched on console so I wouldn't object if they cancelled console versions outright.
And yet it didn't stop you making the thread!. Even in the great VR debacle none of the vr folk asked for the game be delayed pending getting a full VR release they/we just asked for confirmation it would be actively worked on. You already have that. Console support IS coming.
IF the game is unplayable it should not release , I am with you there..... But that includes console as well ... It could mean pc release in November and console in 2022
