A deal sees the Official XBox 360 magazine handing out beta discs for FF XI, all you need is an X360, a hard drive for it, a broadband connection and a copy of the magazine, once it's released, and you're booked for Vana'diel.
Square Enix and Future have announced a deal that sees the next issue of Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine exclusively covermounting the Final Fantasy XI Beta version for Xbox 360.
