-On the morning of May 16th, 2007 at 5:00AM PDT, Bungie announced a bug that prevented the Halo 3 Beta option to show up in Crackdown's Download Option page. They relayed the information to Microsoft, who took 12 hours determining the problem and creating a fix. They took another 2 hours testing it to make sure it would work. At around 7:00PM PDT the fix was released and millions of Crackdown owners began downloading the long awaited Beta.
+The ''Halo 3 Beta'' was announced by Bungie and Microsoft to be released at 5:00 AM PDT (8:00 AM EST) for owners of specially-marked copies of ''[[Crackdown]]''. However, many players reported to Microsoft that under the "Downloads" section of ''Crackdown'', the option to download the ''Halo 3 Beta'' was "grayed out" and unavailable. Bungie found the same problem and relayed the information to Microsoft, who promptly posted that consumers had problems downloading the ''Halo 3 Beta'' from ''Crackdown''. At 4:00 PM PDT (7:00 PM EST), 11 hours after the ''Halo 3 Beta'' was supposed to be released, Microsoft announced that they had determined the problem and were creating a fix that would be "most likely in the form of a title update", and that a workaround was expected to be released in 3 to 6 hours.
-Due to the bug, Bungie decided that the Beta would be pushed back from the Beta ending date of June 6th, 2007 at 11:59PM PDT to '''June 10th, 2007 at 11:59PM PDT''', allowing gamers to have four more days with the Beta, compensating for the one day lost in trying to download it from the ''Crackdown'' menu.
+hours later, Microsoft updated its announcement, saying that a fix had been found, and that it was undergoing final testing to ensure its accuracy. An hour later, at (10:00 PM EST) Bungie and Microsoft both proclaimed that a fix had been released. Beta players would have to restart their Xbox 360 consoles, and insert the ''Crackdown'' CD-ROM, when they would get a prompt to download an update to ''Crackdown'' that would allow the players to access the ''Halo 3 Beta''.
+Due to the bug and the subsequent massive public disapproval, Bungie decided that the Beta would be pushed back from the Beta ending date of June 6th, 2007 at 11:59PM PDT to June ''10th'', 2007 at 11:59PM PDT, allowing gamers to have four more days with the Beta, compensating for the one day lost in trying to download it from the ''Crackdown'' menu.
