Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360

Gears of War 3 is getting a beta, but any fan of Gears already knows this. What we don't know is when said beta will begin, and it's been making fans more anxious and excited than ever. Well now we do.

The date was announced via Bulletstorm's official Twitter account. The message stated that the Gears of War 3 beta will begin in April.

"[Gears of War 3] beta starts in April & you will need your Epic Edition disc in tray to play. The Flaming Lancer unlocked in the beta & final game."

While this is defiantly good news, the Tweet did not mention an exact date. Also, this announcement raises a few more questions as Epic Games' Rod Fergusson stated a couple of days ago that there are more ways of getting into the Gears of War 3 beta besides owning Bulletstorm Epic Edition.
