At the very least, I'm glad to see they're showing some initiative in testing these games out on a larger scale before they get to market, hopefully that'll mean fewer fuck-ups on release.
 
Damn it. I wanted to sign up but all I get is this:

The system has encountered an unexpected error. We apologize for the inconvenience. The issue will be addressed as quickly as possible.

EDIT: It doesnt seem to work using Firefox, but with IE it worked fine.
 
I got through around 10 minutes ago. At first it asked me for my personal information(name, phone number, address) and I got an error when I tried to submit. I clicked the Invitations link on the left column and it gave me access to the questionnaire, after that it went smoothly.
 
The beta is for both FYI,

Thanks for applying to participate in the Shadowrun beta test.

The beta is expected to begin early to mid December 2006 and run through March 2007. Currently we are in the process of gathering names of potential participants. To qualify you need:



· Either an Xbox 360 with a hard drive or a high end PC running Windows Vista. We will be publishing the minimum spec for the PC shortly.

· An Xbox Live Gold account.

· Broadband access.

· Enough time to play from home on a regular basis.

· A willingness to communicate on the beta forums.

Are you using IE? Firefox and other browsers sometimes have problems.
 
I also got excited that the genesis verison was coming back in some form. If they put that in VC I may need to buy a Wii just to play it :)

Since MS owns it I doubt that will happen.
 
Signed up last night as well, I'm pretty much all about this game even though it's not even close to what I thought it should be. Hopefully it'll be a fast and fun online FPS :).
