Eurogamer’s giving away 20,000 beta keys to Call of Duty: World at War as we speak. Go here. You’ll need to be registered to claim your code. If you are, it’s merely a case of pressing a button to get involved.
It’s a 360 thing only, so PS3 and PC gamers will have to wait.
The site got a proper kicking earlier but appears to be working fine now. There are plenty of keys left. So off you go.
Update: There’s a PC beta on the way, apparently. Press release after the break.
Update 2: It’s finished now. Unlucky if you didn’t get one.

§ Castle: The Imperial Japanese Army faces off against the Marine Raiders in a daytime battle, located on the grounds of an ancient, Japanese castle.
§ Makin: The U.S. Marine Raiders square off against the Imperial Japanese Army in a nighttime fight, set in an outpost on the Makin Atoll in the Pacific.
§ Roundhouse: The Wehrmact will fight the Red Army to the bitter end in a daytime struggle that features tank and infantry combat, set in a desolate, war-torn European train depot.
The betas will last for a few weeks; however, the full battle will commence on 14th November, 2008 when Call of Duty: World at War is released to retailers nationwide.
