We want your HALO 3 screenshots here. Add yours.
The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.
Only initial shipments of Crackdown will have the HALO 3 beta code. There have been conflicting reports from major gaming news sites. Many sites have given misleading information. I'll say again: only early copies of Crackdown will have the HALO 3 beta code. So, pre-ordering Crackdown is the most certain way to get in the beta. Given that H3 has such a fanbase, Crackdown could sell out on launch.
Most likely, you'll get a code with the game and go to the "redeem code" section of the XBOX Live Marketplace menu. You'll submit the code and it will take you to the HALO 3 beta download.
How's the Crackdown demo working out for you?

I've tried downloading the demo. Demos are downloading to my and taking up a lot of space but they are not appearing in the demo list. Anyone ever had this problem. The last item I downloaded that worked was the Heavy Weapon arcade game.
I'm trying to download a couple of demos right now. I'll know in the morning if it worked.
It has happened to me
I just clicked to download them again, then it jumps to 100% downloaded, and all of a sudden you see the demos in your list... don't know if this will help.
Too late. I've deleted and
Too late. I've deleted and re-downloaded. Shadowrun downloaded nicely this time.
I pre-ordered Crackdown and
I pre-ordered Crackdown and Halo 3... *cough* legendary from EB games. I wanted to pre-order them from Rhino, because I don't intend to keep crackdown. Rhino would let me trade Crackdown straight up for something else. Unfortunately, Rhino is no longer taking pre-orders for Crackdown, however, they are for Halo 3.
So, I have an idea... how about I take the copy of Crackdown I buy from EB, unopened, to Rhino and get a $60 credit, then immediately buy the same copy back from Rhino. This way I can bring back crackdown and exchange it for whatever, after I use the Halo 3 beta code. You think they would let me do that? I think it's genius!
How are you going to get a
How are you going to get a $60 credit from Rhino without a receipt saying you bought it there?
Did you hear that Gamestop
Did you hear that Gamestop bought out Rhino?
Either way, they'll probably make a bogus requirement that you couldn't have used the H3 beta code if you want to exchange Crackdown.
But what if you need to have
But what if you need to have the Crackdown disc in the 360 drive to play the H3 beta?
Slayer: What is Rhino's position on buying back very old XBOX games? I've got some I want to move.
I think they will pay full
I think they will pay full price for a game that is unopened, but I could be wrong. I will have to call and ask them.
