      I would if it weren't Reach. I already have two copies of that game in my house and neither get played.

        Ha! Too bad it wasn't an offer including some of their other games like Fable. I would actually give it a shot to try Fable but I'm not paying for it.

          I wonder if this means larger game installs. Actually, it has to. Which means I definitely need to get a bigger hard drive.

            I give it less than a week before discs are ripped and playing on modded xboxes.

              I understand wanting to make sure games can't be copied, but I agree with PP- it might not be a week, but hackers will always find a way and spread it around. It's nearly pointless for Microsoft and Sony to pour all this money into preventing hacking, when they always find a way, most of the time in quicker time than it takes to develop (and certainly less money.)

              That community will always exist, no matter what is done.

                Even if it fails to eliminate copied games, it still gives developers that much more space to work with.

                      How much is shipping, I'll take the free copy that you don't want!

                        Same. If it's going to just be a disc format update, then I'd expect to get the copy of Reach in a few weeks or so.

                            Is it just the disc? No box?

                            So what is the "updated disc format"? Just an extra 1Gb of space?
