f you were worried that you would have to pre-order a copy of Crackdown from online retailers that explicitly mentioned the Beta, then you need worry no more. A Microsoft rep has confirmed that every copy of Crackdown will indeed have the Beta on.

It isn’t even the first batch of Crackdown discs that you must get either. According to IGN, the Beta will be offered right into March, meaning there really is no hurry. So if you haven’t pre-ordered yet, or if everyone has sold out of their pre-orders, then fear not, you haven’t let the chance pass you by.

You can stop looking for specially marked boxes now, they all include the Beta

This will hopefully reduce the number of eBay auctions that will likely be running, claiming to “have one of the few discs with a Halo Beta on”, and charging a fortune in the process. It is also good news for all those unfortunate enough not to make it through other processes. In yet more pleasing news, don’t forget you do get Crackdown, with a demo recently released on the Marketplace. The demo is brilliant, and well worthy of a purchase regardless of the Beta.

Hopefully this news brings some peace of mind to some of you who were beginning to panic that they may have left it too late to get an order in. You haven’t, and you’ve got well into March before the Beta stops being included.
