Microsoft in early January announced that retail buyers of Crackdown, due out on 20 February for the Xbox 360 console, would also get a special key allowing them to be on the team that will test Halo 3 this spring.
Now to me that seems really worrying, who would wanna buy yet another GTA clone to get early access to one of the only decent games on the 360?

The marketing scheme also sparked complaints from some gamers, who in online forums have charged that Microsoft is forcing people to buy a £40 game they may not have otherwise purchased to get prerelease access to one of the most hyped games of 2007.
Who here wants to buy a £40 pound poor game to get access to the halo 3 beta? Not only that Halo 2 on Pc is vista only, heres my tip DON'T FALL FOR IT.
Crackdown is a rubbish game and microsoft knows it. The only reason that they are sellign the game atall is because they can make some money with it from the halo 3 beta.
I am not actually going to get the game, and wait until halo 3 is out properly.
