I've been looking around and can not find anything very specific, but I was wandering if Bungie has set an official release date for the Reach Beta? And are you garunted to get it just from buying Halo 3: ODST?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

If you pre order from Best Buy, the little box they give you have the conditions for downloading the Beta. They have dates for when you need to download it.

No idea on the date, but as long as you have bought ODST you have access to the beta

No. Access is guaranteed by owning the ODST single player disc.

Sick! thtanks for the help Uncle Kilikov!

and btw if you're a bungie employee, i think it wouldnt hurt to put the fact that it is guarenteed by owning the ODST disc becuase in the ODST section it is slightly un-clear and says you should keep and eye on the sight, and that made me think that only the first x number of people who new about the start of the download would get the Beta.
