Halo 3 is obviously one of the hottest upcoming titles on any platform, and news that a multiplayer beta open to the public has the Spartan faithful salivating like hungry pups. As beta slots are open to a limited number of users, competition for a ticket on the pre-release Halo 3 ride are sure to be become a highly sought after item.
According to Xbox fansite BritXbox, a member of the Xbox Community Network, a collection of independently run European game sites favored by Microsoft, one of their XCN peers may have been involved in trading beta slots for cash.
An e-mail from XCN management hit BXB revealing the practice, indicating that they were "rather shocked that this privilege has been abused in such a way." Shocked? Really? How shocked are you really, when you're selling a $100 version of the game? Clearly the dedicated fanbased will do just about anything to get Halo 3 early.
