Players who purchased the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor will already have been playing the Battlefield 3 beta for two days. Those of you who didn't purchase that game had to wait until today, but that wait is finally over. The beta has now appeared on the Marketplace for download, and is available until October 10th. It is only available for play in English, but can be downloaded in North America, South America, Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Due to the multiplayer nature of the beta, it shouldn't come as a surprise to learn that the beta is exclusive to Gold Xbox LIVE members. More details on the beta content can be found here.
You can add the beta to your download queue from Xbox.com, but make sure that you have 1.30 GB of space on your hard drive when you actually download it.
