Halo 3 beta given a boost

Jimmy 2004 · Jan 26, 2007, 06:25 PM

Although many Xbox 360 gamers may have been worried that the Halo 3 online beta would be hard to find, IGN is reporting that all versions of Crackdown will come bundled with the beta. Previous reports had suggested that only a few limited copies of the game will have the beta, but a Microsoft representative has confirmed that all initial copies of Crackdown will include an invite to test it out. This will probably give a boost to crackdown sales and give Xbox 360 fans the chance to get an early look at one of the most anticipated games of next-generation consoles.

In another story relating to Halo 2, apparently the people at Bungie are a little upset about the production of the last version of Halo, which you can read about here.

"We make games. We don't ship platforms. We don't push platforms."
