It seems that Crackdown still isn't allowing users to access the Halo 3 beta. We checked our own copy and sure enough, the beta option is still unavailable. Bungie is aware of the issue and Frankie has commented on it, saying it should be a short delay (hopefully). Those entering by other means shouldn't have any problems. We'll let you know as soon as we hear anything different.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in.]

Man, a lot of people sure don't understand the concept of a 'beta.'

Yeah, this was something I was just about to look for info on.
On the plus side, the game patched itself again... I wonder if that was to fix that lost orbs issue?

Very dissapointing in deed. After buying crackdown for $60 and having it just collect dust for months...I am very upset.
Was hoping to start downloading before heading off to work today. Sigh.

Well you were a fairly stupid individual to buy crackdown just to test a game for three weeks.
Seriously.
So its a few hours late...cry more.

Its probably all been planed so the VIP's and media all get the beta without having us grunts clogging up the download servers. Then let us in when all the reviews are on the shelves

In response to Sam, I didn't buy crackdown just for Halo 3 Beta, the game looked cool. It is pretty cool, just didn't like it as much as I thought. I KEPT it for the beta.
Also, on the buying a game for the beta for three weeks, so what? It's Halo. No need to get rude, it's our money.

LOL!! majornelson.com is temporarily unavailable due to high load. Are you guys serious? I didn't even turn on my 360 this morning to see if the download was up. I'm sure everyone can wait until after work or school.

HAH! And here I was at work, pissed that I couldn't play while everyone else was enjoying the demo.
Well, your revolution is over, Lebowskis! Condolences! The bums lost! My advice is to do what your parents did; get a JOB, sirs!
The bums will always lose! Do you hear me, Lebowskis? The bums will always lose!

is there a complete lack of QA in the 360 at all? WTF did anyone think to test the halo 3 download functionity with this patch of crackdown, renderware and microsoft fuck up a simple thing.
i mean listen everyone has their fuck ups and bad bulids that go out, but this is your flagship product
see the videomarketplace discription for Chromehounds ; "test" yea great QA.
This is like buying a Mecerdes SLR taking it home and then going to turn it on and their not being a engine. I could say whatever if this was some no name game, but this your your flagship title their should be no exceptions, your trying to prove yourself still here, and this constant simple QA fuck ups kill me.
just get the shit fixed already hired more QA testers, do something its like a running joke, but's its really not funny.
