Update: Many of you have already seen it, but it looks like the link to the registration page has been found. Click here for more info.
Halo3.com, the mysterious place where registration for the Halo 3 beta will take place, is now active. Before, it would merely redirect you to Bungie.net, whereas now it features the Halo 3 logo and a message to "Check back 12.04.06." We can't help but notice that today is 12.04.06. Also, we had a little trouble opening the page in Firefox -- it asked us to install Flash, which is already installed ... weird. Still, the site is up, and hopefully it will open for business later today.
[Thanks Glenn and Zack]

WTF? It doesn't work in WebKit browsers or Gecko browsers, which make up 100% of the Mac browser market. Just because I don't use Windows doesn't mean I don't want Halo 3…

Only works in IE for me, firefox has flash 9 installed but site won't recognize it.
Maybe its microsofts ploy to get you to use the new IE which magically has tabbed browsing now.

Check this link, it says to the following link if you're not using IE.

Works for me, with Safari.

jc,
If that is a legit workaround, you are awesome. Here's hoping that it actually accepts any "unofficial" submissions...
For any Halo fans, click jc's link for "early" beta signup.

Hope they don't disqualify anyone for signing up earlier than the website going live... :P

Glad to help...
It still might be a good idea to register again when the public site comes up.

Yikes! Doesn't work in Safari 2.0 either! Then again this is Microsoft we're talking about here, more or less, I wouldn't expect anything less from the Nazis of software.
