The day that XBox Enthusiasts have been waiting years for is finally near…or at least a sign-up for the event is.

Bungie is reporting that gamers will be allowed to register for the upcoming Halo 3 Beta, that is supposed to hit spring of 2007.

There is a lot of speculation that players would have to pay for access to the beta, but this registration leads me to believe that Bungie might force a limit of testers instead.

I don't think you need me to tell you that putting shackles on the Halo community could be disastrous from a fanboy standpoint.

Future headline:  "Halo 3 Accounts: $3,500 average on eBay"
