Fear not European Halo 3 fans of the world, we've got the dirt on how you can go about getting access to some Halo 3 beta loving thing Spring. IGN got word that the first round of beta sign-ups will be through 33 official European Xbox community websites, where each has roughly 100 betas to giveaway in various contests. Sign-ups for the contests are at each community site and is expected to last until January then winners will be notified shortly after. Remember, this is only for European fanboys who want to sign-up for the Halo 3 beta and is the first way (other ways to sign-up for the beta still have yet to be announced) you'll be able to get in. Start surfing the list of community sites and get going on those contests ... wait a second. Where are our 100 betas to give away Microsoft? We do our best to cater to our European readers, heck, I'm even drinking English tea as I blog this. Don't worry though Microsoft, you can still send us those beta codes and we'll forgive you (maybe).

I know global warming is an issue, but don't get ahead and flood Norway.
Anyway, I hope they also provide the smaller countries with betas.

I don't think every american who applies for the beta is gonna get a place - neither is every european... I applied for a place on about 8 community sites last night and that will have to do for me. Hoping that they're looking for a few noobs to play as I can't shoot for shit with a battle rifle - plasma rifel and SMG combo FTW!

Yeah, I'd like to know their reasoning behind this. Why can't we just sign up online like the US and Canada just did? You're really not doing us any favours.
But hey, it's beta, we can all buy it next year once it's finished.
And God help me if they don't release the legendtry 'helmet' edition over here, I will go postal.

First of all Americans and Canadians are not garanteed a spot when they sign up! You are if you win a spot - Also this is only a promotion - Sign ups for EU should be online later on.
So EU is basically luckier than US and Can.
- BTW just so you know before you go around signing up on all pages many of them have country restrictions - Like Only Residents of UK can sign up on UK sites etc.
