Today, Microsoft announced two ways in how you can obtain access to participate in the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta on the Xbox 360.
From Xbox.com:
1 – Qualifying over Xbox Live and then being one of the first 13,333 Halo 2 gamers to register for the “Rule of Three” program at halo3.com in early February.
or
2 – Purchasing the upcoming game Crackdown , which hits store shelves in the U.S. on February 20.
Method #2 sure sounds like the easy way to buy yourself in.

From Xbox.com:
“Beginning Thursday, February 1, 2007, at 12:01 A.M. Eastern time, all you need to do is participate in at least three hours of Halo 2 multiplayer sessions, via Xbox Live, before February 3, 2007, at 11:59 P.M. Eastern time and then be among the first 13,333 to register at http://www.halo3.com.
The “Rule of Three” program is currently planned for gamers in the 50 United States (includes District of Columbia) age 17 years and older who have access to an Xbox 360 Pro console or an Xbox 360 Core console with hard drive, a valid Xbox Live Gold subscription and the Halo 2 game. Gamers around the world are encouraged to visit http://www.halo3.com in the coming weeks for more information on the “Rule of Three” program in their region.
As well, when Crackdown hits store shelves, take home a copy of the highly anticipated exclusive action title for Xbox 360 and look for the specially marked boxes of Crackdown that include an invite to participate in the coveted Halo 3 multiplayer beta program when it becomes available. When the Halo 3 multiplayer beta surfaces in spring 2007, owners of Crackdown with access to an Xbox 360 Pro console or an Xbox 360 Core console with hard drive and a valid Xbox Live Gold subscription simply need to load their copy of Crackdown into Xbox 360 and use the disc as a key to download the beta from Xbox Live Marketplace and join the battle in Halo 3 multiplayer. Crackdown will be available in the U.S. on February 20, Asian territories on February 22, and European markets on February 23.
In December, Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios completed the first of three ways for North American gamers to participate in the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, by registering at http://www.halo3.com. Gamers who were selected from this initial opportunity will be contacted in January. “
