The new title update for the game is going to render all of the discs that were sent during the update preview useless. Don't worry though, Microsoft should have sent you an email with a code to download Halo: Reach from Games on Demand. I guess the only real downside to this is that people who have limited HDD space and want to keep playing won't be able to. The game is 6.6 gigs.

Yup. Got mine. UNLESS I SELL IT!

@Afroman269: Still haven't got mine . Anyone know what do?

@Juicebox: I got mine in the past 6 six hours. Maybe wait a bit longer.

It's crazy that they did this. They sent out discs for a firmware update beta. There was no reason to give this game away twice, but they did. Pretty cool of them. I was trying to think of some way to give the code away here on the forums, but I already offloaded it on a friend.

I wish I could play Reach without a disc.

If someone doesn't want their code, I'll gladly take it off their hands.

Got my code. I actually think Microsoft did a great job handling this. Could have been a nightmare for them.

Got the email earlier and thought it was a pretty cool thing for them to do. First they give me a free copy that allows me to sell my original copy, now I get the Lazy Man's version that I don't have to grab off the shelf to play. Woohoo =D

Actually played a bit of the first mission today...so this is Halo then huh?

Hmmm, I wonder what I should do with my code.

@rudeboy217: Come up with some neat way to give it away on the forums. People love free shit!

Awesome. Sold my Halo Reach and totally regretted it. Now I'm getting it back, with profit! :D

So you have had to play the beta to get the code, correct? Because I obtained no email yet... I just hope it's my impatience testing me.

That is pretty great of them. Got my email a few hours ago!

@Tru3_Blu3: Oh sorry, the thread title might be a bit misleading. It's only for people who were in the dashboard update preview beta.

@InsidiousTuna: I like the way you think! ; )

I don't need my digital copy so I was asking a few of my friends over at Comic Vine last night what kind of contest I should hold. If you guys have any ideas or even want to co-host a contest with me so we can give away multiple copies let me know.

@MSFeather: Send Vito a message. He's been giving games away in the GB forums for the past year. He'll probably be able to come up with something.

Indeed

I never got my code. And it fucking sucks because i bouth the 2 dlcs.

I got my Code on Friday or so - debating what the hell to do with it. I don't think I like Halo: Reach enough to pay for the 6.8GBs of bandwidth it would cost to download - otherwise handled pretty well by MS

@SteamPunkJin: I would love you forever if I could have your code. I play Reach nearly everyday, and the concept of doing that without a disc is very appealing.

You love the game and want less wear and tear on your system. So you know what? Sure. Check your PMs, code will be waiting for ya. Give your copy to a friend or something, something cooler than selling it back to Gamestop anyway.
