When Microsoft launched their Xbox Live Preview Program to selected participants several months ago, the company sent out a preview disc of Halo Reach that has the new XGD3 format.
With the new title update that is now available for Halo Reach, the preview disc that selected participants got are now unplayable. While this maybe shocking for Halo Reach Preview Disc owner, Microsoft sent out a voucher code that replaces the disc into digital format.
Check your emails. If you participated in the Preview Program, you’ll most likely get the email by now.
Earlier this year, you participated in the Xbox LIVE Public Preview program and were provided a copy of Halo: Reach as part of your participation. Unfortunately, this Halo: Reach “preview disc” cannot be updated with a conventional Title Update, causing the game to be unplayable after the recent Halo: Reach Title Update on September 21, 2011. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
To get you back online with Halo: Reach, below is a code for the Games on Demand version of the game. Once the code is redeemed and your copy of Halo: Reach is downloaded, the game will work as usual, including the features added by the title update. All of your Halo Reach game saves will work normally as well. You may then discard the disc from the Public Preview program.
