Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta: Huge Mistake?

I don't think it's a mistake cause even the people who are complaining with changes in the game will still end up buying it. So a big beta is actually a very good thing to keep the hype really high... Also, Halo 3 sales are going to smash Gears sales to tiny little pieces. Also, Halo 3 Beta bumped the Crackdown sales big time which is another great feat for MS. Sony and Nintendo should release Betas of games that are their biggest hitters with other games that are less so and they will make money off of it.

That's a good point. Microsoft assisted Crackdown big time. Without the Halo 3 beta hype, that game might only have half of it's sales now.

And I do think Halo 3 will beat Gears of War sales wise, and Gears has passed 4 million recently, I think.
