Willing to Buy Halo: Reach Beta code

Yeah, Yeah, I know. I feel just as bad about it, but I've no where else to turn.

If you want to skip the reasoning(sob story), look down a little farther.

I have a German exchange student flying in tonight, all the way from Germany.
He is going to be staying with me for two weeks, and living in my room.
We have been talking over Steam, Facebook, etc. and he commented on how much he loves Halo. And I said, "hey there's a beta coming out, we should play it when you come!".
Bad move? Maybe. But then I found out something.
Halo is one of his favorite games of all time, he loves the characters, the universe, everything. And he was looking forward a lot, and I mean a lot, to playing Halo: Reach. Yet he lacks an xbox 360 and live.

And him playing this beta would mean the world to him, and even the world to me. So I entered a shit ton of contests. Gamepro, Gamelive, Aeropause, IGN, G4, Giantbomb, Destructoid, Bungie, various Twitter outlets, the list goes on and on. I even tried some more "shady" methods, still to no avail. And of course, I didn't win anything, I never should have tried.
My copy paste skills aren't fast enough, my inability to hit F5 over and over again is astounding, and my luck is horrible.

Now, the whole time you've been wondering, "why not wait until Monday, it's not that big of deal loser" but the problem is, his schedule is so packed, that this weekend (that is, tomorrow and Sunday) is his only down time he has to get to know me.
I nearly promised him I would have it, and I don't want his poor little German soul crushed.

Done with the ridiculous crap that no one cares about.
Now, I'm willing to pay upwards of $20-$30 or possibly trading some DS, 360, and PC games (rockstar deal on steam, hmm?) simply for a beta code. People should be jumping all over my stupidity by now. The problem is, they just assume you scam, or they're scammers themselves.

I'm not asking for a beta code, I'm not gonna sit here and beg for charity and act like people want to give away cool stuff.
But, you have my word that I actually want to follow through with this.

I'll trade you mine for Mount & Blade: Warband. Also I need to know where to get the "code". I think it may be built into the disc though.

[pvt.meh]

I have a key which I doubt I'll be using, would you be able to gift me the Rockstar Pack? It's only £30 this week.

[B]E:[/B] Hm, looks like it isn't a literal key in the box of ODST, guess it was just the slip I saw.
[URL="http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=faq"]Need the ODST disc for it, did some googling. [/URL]

Hobomania has the best offer so far, he's been a big help. I have multiple back up accounts on steam and can gift you things. any offers?

If you have the invite, you do not need ODST.
