There are several sites offering promotions that could land a spot in the beta
testing of Final Fantasy XI for the PC.
ATI
Technologies is offering spots in the test to the first 1000 eligible
applicants,
FilePlanet
is accepting applications from their paid subscribers over the next couple of
days for the giveaway of an unspecified random number of spots, and likewise,
GameSpot
and
Stratics
Central are giving away some beta spots to their paid subscribers as well.
Finally,
The Final
Fantasy Vault is holding a trivia contest to give away their spots. The
Vault, Stratics, and FilePlanet giveaways are for U.S. and Canadian registrants
only, but the ATI site mentions no such restriction, and details about the
GameSpot registration cannot be viewed by non-subscribers.
