Most proxy pages mess up the scripts and stuff on the page, but I got mine using Hotspot Shield just fine. Just get rid of it afterwards, you never now with ad-based software.

Aisha Tyler's "Welcome to the Beta" is live via ODST's main menu. Tell me how she advises you to use the magnum for a Reach beta code.

Quoting myself for new page, use this method if you are on your last legs

I managed to get a code using a US proxy ip adress in firefox, TY for those who are helping everyone here! damn this whole process is like a drug.

A quick guide to getting a code if you live outside of the us:

Go to http://expertzone.microsoft.com/home.aspx and sign in using your msn passport.
Sign up page will appear, fill in details (I think of a game store in the US, to be safe)
Website sends you confirm email, check it to confirm.
While logged in on expertzone, head to Xbox and Games > Overview
Click the ODST advert asking you to take the test

Now for this bit you need a US ip, in firefox head to TOOLS > OPTIONS, NETWORK tab > SETTINGS button.

Click the MANUAL PROXY button and enter 174.143.220.135, use PORT 80, click the all protocals box, then OK the changes.

Now on the REACH expertzone page, click GO TO COURSE, because you are using a US proxy it will work, but slowly.

Awnser the questions and follow the given info and link, now you have a beta key!

:lol Not cool. Though I have a terrible connection to begin with, it would have taken me 25 minutes to download even without the server load.

My gaming weekend WAS going to consist of JC2 and L4D2, but this changed things for the better :D

Don't fear the ban hammer. I actually work at Best Buy and was able to register using that information, but I don't see how those of you who "faked" it could possibly be tracked down for it unless they actually contact these places to verify employment.

But yeah, that would suck if you were banned because you couldn't wait a few lousy days for the "official" beta start.

Edit: OH YEAH, downloading now. I suck, but add me anyway: A Real Puppet

Worst part about this? I'm being invited by my friends to a beta I don't have, my friends have a sick sense of humour.
