One would hope today around midnight.

You can bet your sweet ass I'll be there first thing after work tomorrow.

well, nutz, I was going to post an event for this. I plan on playing Halo 3 every night that the beta is running. Every night. Maybe not every night, but my Gears time will be severely hampered.

Anyone object if I run with this beta, try to organize something?

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Not at all. I'm not sure much organization will be called for, though. My guess is that a good number of us will just show up most nights and jump into whatever GWJ party is up and running, and head off to the races.

When is the beta supposed to run till? I'm hoping MS can get my 360 back to me before it ends.

It runs for roughly three weeks -- until June 4th or 6th or something.

Microsoft told me ten days total, but I don't know if I can trust them. I can always just go over a friends house.

I'm lending my copy of Crackdown to a coworker so he can play (and stop annoying the hell out of me). I finally fixed the networking issues that's been keeping me off of Live for the last few months. I'm there like a pothead at a Hershey's party.

I would say right after the beta ends, but I would love to still play Gears because even though I am looking forward to Halo 3,

Because there's nothing like Gears

So when a zillion folks go to download this, won't there be a big slowdown for the DL and just about everything else? (btw, I will be getting this too and join when I can:>) I've already pre-ordered thru Lion.)

Sweet, thanks to the new "ninja download" feature in the last update, I can set it to download before I leave to work.

I'm a sad panda. I was hoping I could start downloading at midnight, and play until morning. Instead I'm stuck starting the download in the morning, and neglecting my Haloey goodness for 9 to 10 hours.
