All UK copies of the upcoming 360 release Crackdown will contain a Halo 3 Beta invite, Microsoft has confirmed to CVG.

Crackdown is due for release on February 23 and each copy will give you details on how to jump on the Halo 3 Beta bandwagon. Obviously once Halo 3 ships or the Beta closes, invites would be redundant. To counter this, Microsoft will slap a sticker on every Crackdown box with info on the enclosed Beta.

That's that then. Crackdown could be on to sell a billion.
