Anyone want the Gears 3 beta early?

I'm downloading now. There is a USB thumb drive trick.

From GAF

I revised the instructions for the USB Method, hopefully its easier to understand:

Steps:
1. Download and extract the beta from: http://www.multiupload.com/I2HU90MU5F
2. Plug in your USB memory stick into your Xbox
3. Goto My Xbox > System Settings > Memory > USB Storage Device > Configure Now
4. Wait while the Xbox reformats your memory stick and then plug it into your PC
5. Download USBXTAFGUI_v44 and run it.

6. Goto File > Open First USB Device
7. It should load from your memory stick and under "File System" you should see "Cache Partition" and "Data Partition"
8. The folder structure for the memory stick needs to be the following. Create folders as needed (Note: thats 16 zeroes):

Data Partition > Content > 0000000000000000 > 4D5389B9 (drag extracted beta folder here)

9. Goto File > Close Current Drive
10. Unplug the memory stick from your PC and plug it back into your Xbox.
11. Goto My Xbox > Game Library > Game Demos & Trials and look for Gears of War 3 Beta
12. Load the launcher and it will prompt you to download a 500~ mb update.
13. You're done!

Note: This has been confirmed to work by a number of folks including myself. However, there are no guarantees as to whether this will get you banned or not. Proceed at your own risk!

Its best if you copy a theme or something to the USB stick as it creates the folders for you. Worked for me.

Still a shot gun fest like Gears 2... Won't be playing much competitive multiplayer if I get this.

I would wait. Someone from the Epic staff tweeted that anyone that doesn't have it legitimately will get banned from beta and GOW3. They might be just scaring people but I would wait till Monday to use it because that is when everyone else can as well.

Yea I doubt it. Either way I don't care, not too crazy about it anyway.

My Beta went live this morning with bulletstorm

Just make a twitter account and follow anyone from EPIC games. They're firing off codes all week, just have to be quick on the draw
