It's that the Beta will happen soon. It makes sense. Why would Bungie put a Beta code in a product that releases in September, only to release the beta in June? They would lose some consumers by then, whether they've just traded it in or lost the code/disk. I speculate that the Beta will be release somewhere between December and Early March.

It's one of the selling points for ODST to include such a thing. Just because it's coming in September, doesn't mean they need to release it soon. You have to keep in mind the purpose of the "beta" (Halo 3 was past its beta stage when the "beta" came out, but it was simply called that); to test the finalizing product. December-March still leaves plenty of time for work and tweaking.

i thought something similar with crackdown, pre-orded a copy only to find out my 40 quid beta code was useless until 3 months later, so it went in a draw till then.

Dont forget tightwads the beta code is there to justify your $60 price tag for "an expansion pack"

It's not an expansion pack, especially since they expanded the campaign, at this point it's pretty much a spin-off.

Actually the only thing we know is that it's a Halo:Reach Multiplayer Beta code.
