From Planet Battlefield:
Yesterday Gamestop had a page up saying that if you preorder Battlefield: Bad Company 2 you would get beta access, which would start November 17th. The page was quickly taken down and the BFBC2 twitter had this to say:
An EA spokesperson told Blend Games more details about the beta will be coming this week.Do not pre-order #BFBC2 from anyone for a Beta code until it's confirmed by DICE on Twitter and the Blog. Even if it's #GameStop!!!!
Gamestop responded to three users on twitter stating that the BFBC2 beta is only for Playstation 3.

GameStopCorp@GameStopCorp why is the Bad Company 2 deal only for PS3 owners?
Most likely we will hear something this coming Friday, since there appears to a media embargo expiring then. Keep your eyes here for any new media and info that is released.@MRX93 The beta is only available on PS3
What are your thoughts on a beta that could come to us soon?Alright, well, it remains to be seen whether November 19th is the launch date for Battlefield: Bad Company 2's beta as Gamestop claimed. However, the whole situation should be cleared up by Friday.
"As for the beta, we'll have more details later this week," an EA spokesperson told Blend Games. Hopefully "more details" means they'll reveal the platforms and/or launch date for the beta. If nothing else, they'll probably tell you how to earn a spot in it.
GameStop has since taken down the discount that mentioned the BFBC2 beta. Maybe they put it up early by accident? Regardless, the listing, as well as EA's statement, indicates that the game will be getting a beta after all. That's more than they were willing to admit last week.
