Page 1 of whats this about a halo 3 beta free with some game?

has anyone heard about this?

one of my mates told me in the pub.. on friday..

say no more.

I think that`s the multiplayer beta, which are open to online sign-ups at the minute. It`s not guaranteed though, and as far as coming with a game... well that`s the first I`ve heard of it.

Sadly for you, it also requires that you have a 360.

cheap, i know, but I take em where i can get em.

the beta is being shipped with "crackdown" apparently, which is due out
fairly soon.

visit www.xbox.co.uk for more details.

........is that gasoline i smell?

the free beta test is being shipped with "specially marked packs" of the new Crackdown game for the 360. Went in to Game eariler today and was told that they think that only the first batch of discs released will be guaranteed to have the beta included, but he may just have been trying to con me into pre-ordering it.

The demo for crackdown is being released on the 360 marketplace sometime tomorrow for anyone interested. I`m not gonna pre-order unless the demo is to my liking.

gah!! and bah!!

...

microsoft has announced that all copies of crackdown will come with Beta, blatently they know that people will buy crackdown just for the beta.

I played the demo yesterday and really enjoyed it so I will get it anyway. Having never played Halo I`m not interested in the Beta to be honest.

From the Demo it just seems like another Poor Man`s GTA Vic City to me.....no doubt will sell shed loads off of the Beta invite alone....haven`t tried the online demo yet so maybe that redeems it?
