Halo 3 Beta details from Bungie

If you're without a Halo 3 Beta invite, you're not alone. Although it may seem like everyone you know got one, including your grandma, thousands of loyal Halo fans are feeling your pain (including me). Remember, you can still give in to that shameless Crackdown sales scheme, which may not be a bad idea given my first impression of the demo.

Regardless of your ability to participate, you'll still be interested to know that Bungie has posted an FAQ that includes some scrapes of information regarding the program. Still no information about when the beta will begin or how long it will last, but Bungie did say that the function of the mysterious "X" button will be revealed. Bungie admits "it won't be all that surprising. Just cool."
