It's screwing up for me too. Probably the high traffic. Luckily I got my registration in before it started slowing down.

yes it loaded after about 20 minutes but my mom made me get off.

so whats the chance of me getting the beta? when does it come out?

The beta comes out Spring 2007 (I think I heard March, but I'm not sure where). I have no idea what the chances are of getting in; although Microsoft has said that the online registration won't be the only way to get in on the beta.

they're probably going to just give it to as many people without straining themselves, so don't expect to get one. and by the way, i don't doubt that someone will put an iso of it up somewhere once they get it.

And it's not 1st come 1st served so don't panic. Details will be fleshed out in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned.

The bottom line is that there will be more ways to enter the beta, and everyone who really wants to do it can probably find a way. Don't let the limitations of this first wave fill you with fear. Everything will be lovely.

And the thing will be worldwide. It's possible there will be the odd weird exception, like Fake-istan, or whatever, but the plan is to do it wherever possible.

Doubt there'll be a working torrent. The beta will probably be linked to your ProfileID and ConsoleID. The encryption on all the 360 Containers is crazy good, so don't expect to be able to edit that info from within. Looks like you're out of luck unless you sign up.

do you seriously think microsoft is going to make every halo 3 beta disc they send out encrypted for a different person! i mean seriously that would be a shit ton of extra work for them

i dont think there going to go that far.

For those who have registered, did you get a confirmation e-mail or anything? I registered with the direct-link right on December 4th, but I haven't gotten a confirmation, I don't know if I was supposed to.
