You don't need the MOH disc to get into the beta early.
If you played the limited edition, it will be linked to your EA account.
Most likely, you will be emailed a code for the early invite.
First I heard you don't need the MoH tier1 disc to play the early beta.. but yesterday I heard that you still need the disc.. Only the code wont be enough.
I can do without the early access cause I don't have the disc anymore. But if only the code is needed, then rock on.

DICE released the official Battlefield 3 beta start today today, which will be September 27th for Origin pre-orders / Medal of Honor: Limited Edition users and open to everyone on September 29th. The map will be Operation Metro on Rush just like the Alpha trial. The open beta will end October 10th.
What are the dates for the beta?
The open beta starts September 29th on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Those that have already pre-ordered the PC digital download version of battlefield 3 through origin or own the limited/tier 1 edition of medal of honor for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or PC, will have early access starting on September 27th. The open beta ends on October 10th.
Where do I get the beta?
On Playstation 3, the Beta will appear automatically on the Playstation Network Store. On Xbox 360, it will automatically appear on Xbox Live Marketplace. On PC, it will automatically appear in the Origin application's demo page.
How do I install the beta?
On console, you simply download the beta and play. On PC, you first install the origin client found on www.origin.com/download and then install the beta from within the origin client. More details will be available here before the beta starts.
Is Origin required to play the beta?
