I just shit my pants with 2 pounds of excitement.
But then again, I doubt the beta shows up in the 12 month window.

We've all been thru many changes of pants. Quote: Battlefield 3 Beta Details
Beta offer is contingent on Beta availability within 12 months of Medal of Honor release. Beta will be available for a limited time only and offer expires upon close of Beta events. Participation in Beta requires acceptance of Beta Agreement. Must be 18+. Xbox GOLD membership required for Xbox users. Check this site for further details when available. Quote: Want to be among the first to get hands-on with Battlefield 3? If you own Medal of Honor Limited Edition you will receive an invitation to the Battlefield 3 beta within 12-months following the release of Medal of Honor. Quote: Could this mean the end of the PC franchise? I mean we all know how well “PC to console” ports go, right? WRONG !!!!!!!!!!! They most definitely cripple the end experience for PC gamers. We all know that the economy is tough and companies are looking to save money. But in all honesty this might just be the biggest mistake in PC gaming history. We all remember what a shocker it was to play Battlefield 1942, and how innovative and creative Battlefield 2 turned out to be. For gods sake when Battlefield 2 came out there were maybe 10 desktops in the world that could run that game on high settings with all the features and effects they introduced.
Should we lie to our-self thinking that they will keep the console version different from PC version? How many game developers are doing this in these tough times? Simple answer, none.
Possible differences between PC vs Console versions will undoubtedly be:
1.Number of players per map.
2.Thats pretty much it.
This makes you wonder now if Gordon Van Dyke really left the company to “be closer with his family”, or because he knew that his beloved franchise was going to become a port. I still hold a glimpse of hope that Battlefield 3 PC version will truly be a worthy predecessor to BF2. For some reason I still believe DICE’s CEO when he said “Battlefield 3 will blow everyone away”. As a hardcore Battlefield gamer I can see many gamers who loved the BF2 series opt for the console version. I mean why spend 800.oo dollars upgrading your gaming rig, when I can just pick up a xBox 360 version for 59.99 ?? Most definitely that will be the case for every media-core Battlefield fan. This scenario will only yield in less PC players, less servers, less fun. This is a true blow to the PC gaming industry, as in the recent years its getting no love from developers.

The only problem with getting in on the beta is that you have to buy MOH.
