Gears of War 3 Beta Players Offered Friend Codes on May 8th May 3, 2011

The Gears of War 3 beta testers (myself included) are being notified by e-mail that Epic is going to be offering extra codes to offer to their friends, to bring more people into the Gears of War 3 beta.

By default, all Gears of War 3 Beta players with a valid e-mail address tied to their Live account are being offered at least one extra code to pass along to their friends on the 8th of May.

However, that’s not all.  Starting yesterday, any beta testers who do any or all of the following tasks will get one extra code to pass along, making for a total of five codes.

1.  Buy any Gears of War 3 content in the Marketplace, including avatar clothing or avatar items.

2.  Play 20+ hours of the beta since yesterday.

3.  Buy a new 12-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold,

4.  Log 100 hours of play in Gears of War 1, 2 or any of the DLC.  Single or Multiplayer.
