[GunnyMo]

Ummm... to play Halo 2 on my PC first?

WSOD (White Screen of Death)

[GunnyMo]

Yeah, site's wanged. Wonder why? :D

[digitalErich]

I submitted my info and then got another page (looks partially loaded), but I'm not sure if that is the end or if the site is hanging.

[flinxz]

Just saw the TV ad on ESPN. Let the non-web hype begin!

[Wolfgang]

The ad was really different. I wasn't even paying attention to it at first. I thought it was good and should certainly help give the 360 additional hype.

I do think MS needs to rebrand their ads. Make it more clear that THIS IS A 360 ad. Instead you see 360 real quick at the end.

[The Iron Weasel]

Well fucking hell, the site is broken.....AWESOME.

[JimmyDanger]

Darn - and North American gamers only at the moment...

[Evil Avatar]

Looks like the site got Evil'd!

[independentcreator]

"Hey Bob! We're gonna put up Halo 3 beta registration. Should we rent some more servers?"

"Hell no, Biff! How many people own a 360? And how many of those people know Halo,
and use the internets? We'll probably only have a couple dozen signups, max!"

"Thanks Bob! You always know the answers!"

Maybe someone can confirm this, but I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere the silver and green (X) logo stamped in the bottom right corner of some of the game trailers. It would be neat if they did this on all of their ads and just alpha'd it up so it's not too terribly noticeable.

I wonder why the site is running so slow. I can't imagine more than a thousand people are going to sign up for this.

Ah, noobs. *shakes head* :p

[Bishop]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

I HATE SITES THAT DON'T WORK.

[Atorak]

"Ehhhh it might be a little bit more than that, Jim!"

I think my sarcasm detector just pegged out.

[Shifteh]

Well, what are you waiting for?
I dunno, a good game?

Come on, you asked for that one.

[bapenguin]

It's not like they are closing the beta signups anytime soon.

[StoneGut]

GameTrailers has the new commercial!! (http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=2606)

[snugglebearofdeath]

DAMMIT! Missed the commercial. Anybody got a link? Can't find one at this moment.

Et tu, Google?

D'oh! Thanks!

[InfiniteAmmo]

Forget Halo 3. I'm still waiting for Pimps at Sea.

[caenelgren]

sweet, seems to be working fine (I was refreshing for awhile then it went straight through each screen). I know people aren't gonna be super excited but it doesn't hurt and if you like the game what's wrong with registering? =p (although I did just give my cell number..crap).

[Wyrm]

Fucking awesome ad, just downloaded and watch repeatedly. Site is dead though.

[mikeohara]

I registered earlier today .... hope I get accepted!

[jeffool]

Looks like the site got Evil'd!No. Just no. It's bad enough that so many people from Fark think that "Farked" is the originating term. At least "Wanged" and "Good Rush" are niche terms, with all users knowing full well that they're not the originating terms.

Damn you internet! How many different ways do we need to get across the idea of "/.ed"?!

[Johan]

I'm in. They've already notified me of my selection! Coolness...

.*cough-bullshitting-cough*.

[InfiniteAmmo]

Jeffool - How about "fuck'd" as a term?

[Goronmon]

Well, I guess I have no chance of signing up anytime soon, haha.

Edit: Woot, finally got it working.

[bean19]

They want me to use Messenger. I hate IMs. Guess I'll miss out. *shrugs*

[TheDancinMan]

Damn, I can't beleive I almost forgot about this......damn....

[DefeatEd]

"Registriation Successful"!!! ... that took a good 2 hrs.

[jeffool]

Jeffool - How about "fuck'd" as a term?Hmm, maybe... Then again, now that I think it over... Maybe if we 'sacraficed' servers...

[JediSanf]

I guess all the 13 year olds had to go to bed because I was finally able to register.

[Montolio]

It finally accepted my registration as well.

[TrackZero]

Sweet. Nice to see things like this open to ALL of North America. ;)

[Sandman]

Site is running smooth now if anyone couldn't get in before. I just tried to register and it all loaded perfectly. Hope I get in.

[Sl1pstream]

Meh, Europe gets a chance later. At least set a fucking date instead of making me check the site every damn day.

[MrMeatshake]

"Registriation Successful"!!! ... that took a good 2 hrs.

aw. at least u got the chance. us europ-ans have been relegated, again!

[baz]

I'm too lazy to do betas, so go you guys! If the games not any good I'm blaming all of you who get accepted :)

[Grimgrock]

No problems this morning.

[GunnyMo]

As the Grim one says, no problem. It took less than three minutes.

[absolut taco]

Is it first come first served, or are they doing some random draw?

[dirtystreetz]

Is it first come first served, or are they doing some random draw?

Probably based on ages and locations. They didn't ask anything else so I don't see what else they could use to decide on. It's nice to know that if I do get it in I will not be pwned by 12yr olds.
