All UK Crackdown copies to include Halo 3 Beta key?

Halo 3 Beta Key - Crackdown

Possibly one of the biggest selling points of the Xbox 360 game Crackdown is the fact that a lot of the the boxes of the action-driving hybrid game will include a prestigious Halo 3 Beta key. We already know that a selected amount of Crackdown copies will contain the beta keys set for the US, but according to GAME, the UK‘s largest video games retailer (unless they have made a mistake of course), every single copy of Crackdown they sell will include a Halo 3 Beta key. It is being sold as “Crackdown with Halo 3 Beta Access” on their website and the terms and conditions state “Requires Xbox Live Gold Subscription and Hard Drive. Beta comes on all Crackdown discs”.

We still aren’t sure how the beta access will shape up with other UK video game retailers and we don’t know if it will continue to be sold as “Crackdown with Halo 3 Beta Access”, so we’d advise any UK gamers to get their pre-orders in now if they want that golden beta. The only bad thing is that UK gamers will have to wait till March for Crackdown in the first place. Sure it sucks, but a guaranteed Halo 3 Beta can only be good!

There’s a hot discussion about this going in the QJ forums, so don’t forget to drop in once you’ve ordered your copy. Thanks for the tip atkinchris!
