Did I have to pre-order Bulletstorm epic edition to get the gears of war 3 beta early?

If you didn't could someone post a link to somewhere where I can buy it with the Beta code because on gamestop.com it appears you don't get the beta.Did I have to pre-order Bulletstorm epic edition to get the gears of war 3 beta early?
if you have the bullestorm epic edition, and the code that came with it (To unlock the Epic edition stuff) you have the beta.



All you need ot do is put the disc in the day gears of war 3 beta gets released
