Update: GAME posted the following on Twitter: “To all people who haven’t received a Gears of War 3 BETA code. These should be fulfilled by Tuesday. You will only miss out on 1 BETA day.”

Original: The Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta begins its second phase on Monday, but retailer GAME – which is supplying access to customers who have pre-ordered the game – has admitted there is a key shortage.

In a customer service email sent out today, GAME said: “Unfortunately Microsoft have been unable to send us enough BETA codes for the launch of the Gears of War 3 BETA.

“We are currently awaiting the next shipment of codes which is due to arrive early next week.

“As soon as they arrive we will despatch them to you.”

The email closed by apologising for any inconvenience caused.

It’s not clear how many customers will now miss the April 25 beta start date.

The Gears of War 3 beta launched on Monday this week for owners of the Bulletstorm Epic Edition. VideoGamer.com went hands-on with the beta last month.
