QuoteIn November, Bungie Studios and Microsoft announced that they had a huge announcement regarding Halo 3. Most hardcore fans were let down when the news was merely the announcement of a beta program...that wouldn't even start until spring 2007.

Today, Microsoft gave some more details on the entry process for the beta, along with some information on the 60-second ad that will air in early December.

Registration for the beta program will begin on December 4 at the Halo 3 Web site (currently the site redirects visitors to Bungie's Web site). The beta will initially be open to North American gamers, and not everyone who applies is guaranteed a spot. Europe will run a beta program for the game separately. Bungie has not yet revealed the requirements to enter the beta.

Also on December 4, a 60-second ad for the game will air sometime between 5:50 p.m. and 6:20 p.m. PST during the Monday Night Football matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers. The ad will be a mix of computer graphics and live-action, and will air on television only once. After its TV broadcast, the ad will be made available on Xbox Live Marketplace and Xbox.com.

Halo 3 is due out in 2007 exclusively for the Xbox 360.

GoW and H3 were the 2 biggest reasons why I went with the 360 (that and they did everything right compared to the other 2 players).  Can't wait.

Though rumors are floating that the "public open beta" will end up being a beta which you will have to use some of those marketplace points to get in on.  While this initial pull for beta players will get to play it free.  (1Up podcast from 2 weeks ago is my source, last weeks had some stuff on it too).

Probably not many of you into the NFL, but they aired the Halo 3 commercial last night, pretty tight.
