Square Enix Sets FFXI Beta Date for the Xbox 360

Square Enix has revealed that the Japanese beta test for MMORPG Final Fantasy XI will kick off on December 10, the launch day for Microsoft's next-gen console on those shores.
According to reports, the FFXI beta will be bundled free with Xbox 360 units as of launch day in Japan (and presumably be available on distributed disks too at some point), although some sources suggest it'll be limited to the premium Xbox 360 package and not appear in the Core package - which kind of makes sense considering a hard drive is required to play.

A Gold Live membership WILL NOT BE required to take part in the beta although users will need to register with Square Enix's PlayOnline portal to get in on the action. Apparently Xbox Live will then handle basic services. It's currently unknown how long Square Enix plans to run the Japanese beta for.
