BEWARE!!!!!
In a post in the Epic games forums, someone posted that they could get into the beta in less than 10 minutes. Administrator Flak, you all know who she is, posted in reply to this topic that

ALL PEOPLE WHO COPY THE BETA WILL BE BANNED AND BANNED FROM GEARS 3 !

I recommend if you USB modded your Gears 3 Beta that you remove it IMMEDIATELY ! I have nothing to worry about because I won it on twitter but just sharing it all to you guys!

They'll get banned, not only from the beta, but Gears of War 3.

EDIT: Yes you CAN get banned from Gears of War 3! They can ban you from the servers now since they are running on dedicated servers. so if you are caught, they will ban you from the Gears 3 Beta servers and the actual retail game servers as well. Hope this cleared any confusion.

PS: Don't listen to the people saying you can't get banned, YOU CAN! They are just trying to convince themselves that they won't for their own self- comfort.

UPDATE: Lead Gameplay Programmer Joe Graf has recently banned people for HACKING!
His statement on twitter:

EpicCog Joe Graf
BTW, I just banned a guy for selling beta codes via hacks. I highly recommend you don't do that : )

This shows that you should not buy codes from other people, OR hack them yourselves because this guy was the first of MANY. There's your proof.
