invite your friendos into the final week of the gears 3 beta
Taken from the Gears 3 forum:
What is the Gears of War 3 beta Never Fight Alone program?
Starting today, everyone who’s played at least one game in the beta will have a chance to receive a “buddy token” to share with a friend on Xbox LIVE, giving them access to the “Gears of War 3” beta.
In the U.S., beta participants can earn extra buddy tokens by completing the following tasks or challenges (one token for each task), with a chance to earn up to five tokens total:
• Purchase any “Gears of War” content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace (including a “Gears of War” Game Add-on, a “Gears of War” Games on Demand title, or a “Gears of War” Avatar item)
• Play 20 or more hours of the “Gears of War 3” beta (any time already spent in the beta will count toward this challenge)
• Add a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription to your existing account (purchased from retail or online)
• Play more than 100 hours of any “Gears of War” title, lifetime to date
** Multiple token chances are limited to U.S. residents due to legal restrictions; however, every beta participant worldwide has a chance to unlock one buddy token to share with a friend on Xbox LIVE.
How long do I have to earn extra beta keys?
Players will have until this Wednesday, May 4 to complete the challenges and earn extra buddy tokens.
What do I do after I’ve completed the tasks?
The Xbox LIVE team at Microsoft will automatically keep track of everyone’s progress, so players won’t need to take any additional action to retrieve their tokens.
After completing the tasks, when and where do I receive my extra beta keys?
The buddy tokens will be distributed via e-mail starting May 8 when the “Never Fight Alone” phase begins, giving beta participants and their friends a full week to enjoy the multiplayer mayhem together.
What maps and modes will be available during the “Never Fight Alone” period?
New players entering the beta on May 8 will have a chance to cross chainsaws with their buddies in three new “Gears of War 3” competitive modes (Team Deathmatch, Capture the Leader and King of the Hill) on four stunning multiplayer maps (Thrashball, Checkout, Trenches and Old Town). Additionally, beta recruits can unlock an array of exciting content such as exclusive medals, weapon skins and character variants like the fan-favorite Thrashball Cole, which they can carry over to their retail copy of “Gears of War 3” when it launches on Sept. 20.

This is now the official Gears 3 Beta code-sharing thread here on Giant Bomb.
Wow, looks like I have a load of beta tokens then. I'll give some out when I get back from college tonight.
That article says Wednesday they'll start sending emails out so depending on how many they let me do, (they said up to 5) and how many responses I get, ill pm people on a first come first served basis. For people who pm me on gb or xbl, Start checking your pms on Wednesday or Thursday.
In my country they are giving out beta keys to the people who buy the Gears 1+2 value pack.
I hurried out and bought one from a store nearby, only to find out that Toy's'rus is the only store to give away the beta key cards. I was like http://goo.gl/h4pjm
Can I get one please? My gamertag is Flawless2c. I've been stressing about finals a lot lately, so I'd really love to play some GoW3 beta to relax a little...
