Yeah, I saw a kid walk out of Best Buy today with Crackdown/Halo 3 Beta invite. You can still easily find a copy.

same thing in my area, i got crackdown the first day it was released and a lot of the stores were sold out.  the best buy i went to had a display that held at least 25 copies, there were 3 left when i got there after work.  

im sure you can still find one, just be careful.  BTW is the beta notice on the game case itself or the packaging for the game?  depending on where the little beta marker is, it can be tough finding a used copy with the beta on it.

I'm pretty sure it's part of the actual cover art...

The Beta notice was part of the plastic wrap that the games come wrapped in.  I believe it was either a sticker or just a small piece of paper.  I have the game with beta access but I can't tell by looking at the case wheter or not the beta is included with it.

since the beta test time is limited, and some may not want to purchase the game, all the rental versions from blockbuster i have used have had the halo beta option on the main menu.
