The Halo 3 Beta test. A subject many have been talking about lately all over the internet. Registration has already concluded and many succeeded in receiving a place, many did not. For those who did not, all is not lost. Crackdown, the sleeping giant of the Xbox 360s Q1 line-up, offers many a chance to participate. Yet that is not the only other way. I am of course speaking about The Rule of Three, the confusing yet secure way to get into the beta, begins at 12AM PST on Feb 1st, that's tomorrow.

Rule of Three Program

The "Rule of Three" program is currently planned for gamers (17 years and older) in the 50 United States (includes District of Columbia) and Canada who have access to an Xbox 360 Pro console or an Xbox 360 Core console with hard drive, a valid Xbox Live Gold subscription and the Halo 2 game.

It is a two-step process:

1. Participate in at least three hours of Halo 2 multiplayer sessions on your Xbox 360 console via Xbox Live during the three (3) day period beginning February 1st at 12:01 am EST and ending February 3rd at 11:59 pm EST.

2. After the three day window is over, head back over to www.halo3.com on February 5th and register.

If you are one of the FIRST 13,333 to do this (and meet the above requirements) you will receive an invite notification in February to participate in the Halo 3 Beta.

Please note that if you registered to participate in the Halo 3 Beta during Phase One and were not selected, that does not preclude you from registering again for during Phase 2.

Update: This has now begun, get gaming!
