You're upset you didn't get a chance to play and unfinished and unpolished game sooner than the US.

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look when they release some details for Europe.

It is a worldwide beta as Frankie has stated:

We also made mention of the Halo 3 Beta (coming some time in 2007) and folks panicked when they saw that a press release mentioned only the US. Don't panic. The Halo 3 Beta will be available in the US, Europe and elsewhere in the world.

ok, heres what i'm guessing. the halo 3 beta comes out now, this isn't halo wars correct.

if the beta is out now.. will the game be available January 2007? because this is a little late in the year for a beta, unless it's a 1 week thing, and then the game code is finished, quickly printed, and shipped...

look at these dates, fall 2007? a little early to be gloating your unfinished game bungie..

US: Fall 2007 (expected)

Japan: December 31, 2007

Europe: December 31, 2007

so why the beta right now? why the tv commercial right now? i think microsoft is going to pull a surprise release on us all.

It's coming out November 2007 most likely. It's not too early for a beta at all. You're acting like the beta comes out this Monday. It doesn't, the sign up for the beta is this Monday. The beta itself is coming Spring 2007.

ohh, the beta signup is now, but the beta comes out in spring 2007.. ouch.

why the sign up now tho? i mean it's so far away and people may loose interest, or sell there xbox360..

Oh come now, you really think so? :p

Any interest lost will be regained as soon as they receive a notice that they've been accepted in the beta test. :yes:

Hah, I just thought of people e-baying their live accounts if they got into the Halo 3 beta. Hmm.. :rofl:

They wouldn't need to eBay their Live accounts, just the invite code. But I assume Microsoft already thought of this and will put restrictions on the invite codes to only work for the Gamertag's that they generated the invite code for. In that case, yea, the Live account would need to be eBay'ed. :laugh:

i don't see anywhere to sign up - i have got the correct day haven't i? :unsure:

Frankie said this week the advert would "air during Monday Night Football on December 4th. Sometime around 6-ish, PST" and so I heard that the beta page will go up after this.

So what time is this where I live? should help you find what time you need to go on it. :)

Well if it is so, why release the chance to enter at an American time when we are all asleep :angry:
