Beta download (2?)

Ok Can't seem to edit to correct double post....forum doesn't seem to respond.

nope sorry way past. public beta closed in December and even the beta is outdated by the super testers doing gamma build. but its less than a month away. to final release who wants beta at this point? if you preorder you still get cool stuff (that means preorder now!)

im trying to tell my friend to get this game but he is still hooked on civ 4 (which i dont blame him, its a fun game) and dosnt want to get another game while hes hooked on this one but by the time he buys this game its going to be way past due to get the bonus pack y wont he just buy it and then install it after he gets done with civ 4 and has his social life in order enough so that it can stand another while of him being absent
