It’s called Gun Club, and provides incentive for players to buy EA games by offering them things like exclusive demos, early beta access, weapon unlocks and breaking news.

The big thing they’ve come out with for Gun Club’s unveiling are early access to the upcoming Medal of Honor beta for owners of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 who happen to preorder Medal of Honor. The beta begins on Thursday, June 17th, so if you want in, you should probably sign up soon.
