The Halo 3 Beta is only attainable through signing up; and I just got word that signing up will coincide with the new Halo 3 trailer to air on Monday Night Football December 4th between 5:50pm and 6:20pm PST. With over 5 million people playing Halo 2 right now, it's a fair assumption that most of them will try to sign up for the chance to play Halo 3...All at the same time. Let's all hope they have some heavy duty (Quad-Core) servers in place for the massive hit they are going to take as soon as that trailer airs. Microsoft nor Bungie has stated if the site will go live with/before/after the trailer, or how many people will be "accepted" into the beta. If they severely limit it, there will be a huge uproar, especially seeing as there is only one chance to sign up, and if it's open to everyone... Well, I can't really think of a bad reason from a consumer point of view, but Microsoft might want to make it hard to get so it's "special"... MS, Always playing games with us, just like the ladies...
Oh, and you sign up for the beta @ Halo3.com. For now H3.com just gets you redirected to Bungie.net but I'm sure that will change come Monday.
