Xbox Gaming in South Africa

EA DICE has started dishing out early access codes for the Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE, giving gamers who purchased the Medal of Honor Limited Edition a 2 day head start on everyone else.

"As you can see, keys are gradully rolling out and are to be rolled out. #earlyaccess #bf3beta," tweeted EA DICE Community Manager Daniel Matros, who followed up with another tweet reassuring gamers that emails are still being sent, so hold tight if you haven't yet received yours.

The Battlefield multiplayer beta, which opens up for the general gaming public on 29 September, gives gamers a chance to take on the Paris-based Operation Metro map in Rush Mode, and will be available for all until 10 October.
