Does anyone who has done Betas / followed this game's development know if it's possible to play cross platform?
ie Can I play with my friend who bought the ps3 version if I get the pc version?
Thank you for your help in planning my purchase!

No. They "could" but the consoles wouldnt liscense the game unless its exclusive. The devs were pretty ticked with the whole thing.
The only chance anyone has is to convince Microsoft to let them make it exclusive to Xbox and Windows with cross console and make them somehow different to encourage a large group of players to buy both versions.
Believe it or not Microsoft was the one that scrubbed the cross platform idea. They only allow this for exclusive games to Microsoft platforms but being Sony is getting a version they wont let MS player who pay for their service play with Sony people who dont. - This straight from the mouth of Defiance Executive Producer at last years PAX Prime Trion Party.

>_> Disappointed to hear that, I assumed it was going to be cross-platform on the back-end so that everyone was in one seamless world.
yeah, I'm pretty sure even Trion wasn't expecting the cross-platform to get nixed. But you know how Microsoft is: greedy, money hungry... So that means there's going to likely be a lot of us on different platforms ourselves..
