By Shawn Deena – This week we got Halo: Reach Beta in advance of the release of the full game in the fall. With an expectation of players in the millions, gamers with an Xbox Live Gold membership and a copy of Halo 3:ODST (or if you got an invite) have been playing this game since Monday.

That said, when I have been playing WoW I am been concentrating on one of the more boring (but important) aspects of WoW, making money, well gold.
