Call some EBs and see if anyone traded in copies with the beta key. Or check eGay, only 2 possibilities I can think of. ---

I have crackdown… I wonder if I need to put the crackdown CD in to play the demo? If not, and I can just download halo and I can let you guys use the CD. Although, FYI is one of my favorite games. If you guys are thinking about buying it, you should (I think you can find some with the beta) ---

FWIW, crackdown was being advertised as EVERY copy having an invite to the beta AFTER it was released…im pretty sure the “pre-order only” was just to get preorders on the game as i actually havent seen a copy yet without the invite… ---
