Remember that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood beta for PS3 that Jack Tretton dropped news of at this year's E3? You've only got a little bit over a month to get ready for it, as Ubisoft announced a September 13 date for the beta's release. The only way to get access to the beta in North America (for now, at least) is by pre-ordering the game at your local GameStop.

Odder yet, there are apparently only a limited number of slots available in the beta, so tokens will be doled out to customers on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you already pre-ordered, you can bring your receipt to a GameStop starting on August 9 for entry. No details are given for beta entry if you live on, say, any other continent in the world, but you can be sure we've asked Ubisoft for more info.
