Some people were desperate to pay money to be a part of the Titanfall beta.
This was a day or two before Respawn announced they were making the Titanfall beta open to all players now. The eBay bids now aren’t so crazy (although listings still exist) but they were crazy in the beginning.
Kotaku pointed out that most of the beta keys now are for the PC version. Gamespot noted that one player paid as high as $35 to be part of the beta.
Are you crazy enough to pay money just to play in a beta. Not to mention that Titanfall will be released in March 11th which isn’t that long to wait…
