Why is it?
Both next gen consoles have 8GB of RAM and this game won't be released on previous gen.
EDIT: If RAM is a concern, then it is one of the cheapest and easiest parts to upgrade in a PC. Well worth investing in, because this will become the minimum standard for most AAA games.

Holy shit yes. Hope I get in.
Anyone know when the alpha is planned?

It's ludicrous because no game on PC has ever touched near 8 GB of ram, and the console situation is not directly analogous.

As with most Alphas, not everyone gets in.
This is the conformation e-mail I just got for registering.

Did you get that instantly? I have just a confirmation on the sign up page but nothing through email
This worked for me. Thanks Diesel.
I have to agree with barney here. While no game is eating up 8gigs by itself, I've had plenty brush 6+ gigs in my 8 gig system and really put me on the edge of not having enough with windows and all the other apps I have open. I've been considering a straight upgrade to 16gigs especially with it getting so cheap. 64bit clients eat up a lot more than they used to.
I'm sure some games will push it. What I am saying is that THIS game will not be the one to do it, and it should not be taken at face value, just like every other game that's ever had 8GB RAM listed in the past year. It most certainly will not be the minimum at launch.
Only game that's ever gotten close for me at 8 gigs was Dying Light and that game had a notorious memory leak.
Took the Survey. Weird how they're asking about Counter-Strike (close to Rainbow Six, I guess), Battlefield, Call of Duty, Titanfall, Halo (TOTALLY different from Rainbow Six).
Also said my PC meets the requirements but I'm not sure if I match the RAM requirements. Wouldn't be a big deal to get an upgrade, but even then I dunno if I'll get in since I haven't really played a Rainbow Six title seriously.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. My 560 Ti only has 1GB of vram, so I was honest and said I didn't meet the requirements. Maybe (hopefully) they want to know how the game runs for people below the minimum specs.

If 100+ hours of CS in the last 6 months doesn't get me in then Ubisoft must eat shit
Can I see some of this footage that makes it look like they're chasing the CSGO market? That would be a much better direction than the CoD/BF/Titanfall/crap market
