Gears of War: Reloaded will be released in a few months, and it seems that Xbox is planning on hosting a few multiplayer betas ahead of release. They confirmed today that those who pre-order will gain access to the upcoming playtests. 

They’ll be running the betas across every platform, though for PlayStation gamers, this will be the first time they’ll ever experience Gears of War on their consoles.
