If you participated in Microsoft‘s Xbox Live Preview Program a few months ago, you’ll specifically remember getting a free copy of Halo Reach in the mail on the new disc format. Unfortunately, the latest title update for Halo Reach makes that copy virtually unplayable.

Sending out new copies of Halo Reach would be a big hassle for Microsoft. So, thanks to their Games on Demand service, previous participants will receive a download token for that version of the game. If you participated in the program and want to continue playing Halo Reach -Assuming you don’t own a retail copy-, you might want to check your email for something like this:

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.
