Just in case you live under a rock, the Halo 3 Beta will open up to all gamers holding a copy of Crackdown at 5:00 AM (Editors Note - The press release says 5:00 PDT, however I believe that meant to say Eastern, since that is the normal launch time for Live material)

Also, if that wasn’t enough, Microsoft has announced the launch date for Halo 3, and for those thinking it will be at the end of the year, you couldn’t be more wrong. Halo 3 will be launching on September 25th, 2007.

Now that you know… which version will you be preordering?
