Alright guys. I recently brewed up another conspiracy theory about GFW Live and H2V. It has to do with the way M$ numbers their products (as well as other things). I would test this myself, but i returned my copy of H2V because... my expectations of it were far higher. In any case, I need someone to provide me with a high res image of the BACK of a H2V disk (enough for me to make out the barcode shapes and numbers on the disk). I have a Shadowrun disk and a few 360 games that I wish to compare it to.

Ummmm.... Will this take away my ability to play on LIVE?

The fact that I saw the back of your disc? It's not like your product key's on there. >.<

Well, all I really need to do is make out the numbers and shapes, so 1.2MP really shouldn't be that bad... :-/

Basically... I've been looking at several Microsoft Product DVD's, and it seems that Shadowrun has a uniquely different stamping than the rest. I want to see if this is a Shadowrun thing, or a GFW Live thing.

EDIT: Oh, and the Theory part: I am thinking that Microsoft may be trying make the GFW Live DVDs exactly like the XBOX 360 ones. Or this could be another type of copy protection. I don't yet know.

So... anyone? I don't really feel like buying a copy of the game in order to examine the back of the dvd.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

I don't think so, it's just as easy to pirate the GFWl games as any other. Atleast I think so, but if it is true then they haven't done very well in their encoding. :)
