The closed beta for Blur on Xbox 360 is so popular that Bizarre Creations ran completely out of invite codes. That's what lead designer Gareth Wilson told Kotaku Talk Radio this week. Since they can't get anybody else into the beta as it stands right now, they're opening it up to the public. Everyone with a Live Gold account should be able to download the beta next week.
And you should download it, by the by. This game got its hooks into me but good and the only thing that stopped me was reaching the level cap for the beta. Even still, it took a few more hours.
Who else is playing Blur? What's your loadout like when you play? I'm a close-combat person myself and a big fan of the Barge.

While I do think it is more balanced, I still run into playing of Mario Kart'ish moments and have missed plenty of near 1st/2nd place finishes and ended up finishing in the teens right towards the end of the race.
I wish the weapon that fires the 3 pulses was more effective/damaging in terms of offense. Works good for defense, though.
