Today, the Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta finally opens to the public. Hooray! Hold on, though, because in this case the word “public” is pretty limited – it only refers to those who preordered Gears of War 3 from a participating retailer like Gamestop or bought the Epic Edition of Bulletstorm. Hooray?

We know. You only have so much money. Which is why, in addition to the 10 beta codes we gave away last week, we’re giving away an additional 10 beta codes today. This is your chance to play Gears of War 3 multiplayer, right now, for free.

How do you enter? Super easy – just visit theGamesRadar Facebook pageand leave a comment on the link to this story. That’s it. We’ll choose 10 winners randomly from those who have commented by 3:00PM PST tomorrow (Tuesday, 4/26/11).
