So, DICE just announced what exactly the MoH Pre-orders will be getting regarding the "Early" BF3 Beta. You guys ready for this?

'48 hours'

Yep, you get to play the BF3 Beta 2 days earlier than everyone else. Shit. I thought'd be at least 2 weeks, not 2 hours. However, the Beta itself is rumored to start September 11, but it's just a rumor. So, there you have it, (somewhat) disappointing news about the Early Battlefield 3 Beta.
