Xbox 360 Halo 3 Beta Invite Details
Want to get an early in on the xbox 360 Halo 3 beta? It appears that MS will be going the Charlie And The Chocolate factory route.
But instead of golden tickets, there will be specially marked copies of Real Time Worlds’ developed Crackdown that will include an invite to the multiplayer beta.
From 1UP:
We warned of a potential software pack-in for the Halo 3 beta back when it was announced in November — now that warning is a reality. Between the registration sweepstakes and the Crackdown pack-in, Microsoft is giving gamers two ways to get into their “public” beta — though a fleeting beta you’re paying $60 to participate in doesn’t seem very public.
While the effort to lift other titles in their first-party line-up is admirable, it’s easy to read the Halo 3 beta inclusion with Crackdown as the first second (remember the Brute Force Halo bonus disc?) time we’ve seen Microsoft play “the Halo card” — using its biggest franchise to lift a new IP.
