Yes, every copy of ODST does, it's built into the game.

So you're good. (:

It is true- though others are likely to disagree, don't listen.

Yup. It's built in the game. It's the "Extras" link that shows up in the main menu of the game when you're on XBL. At the moment it just links to some promotion, but once the Beta is live, that'll be where to find it. :-)

mongooses are the best. Remember that.

Yeah, it doesn't matter when you get it.

Veto for ARs!!!!

Get it soon though, as soon as Bungie announces when the Beta is I'm sure that the price will go up as the idiots who sold it right away realize their mistake.

Buy the ODST campaign disc on Ebay, they're like $14, if you buy it from a store you'll be ripped off, again.

Don't even start dude.

Please stay on topic.

Just got to say, all you had to say is "You can buy the Campaign Disc cheaper on E-bay." Perfectly fine thing to say, I got no problem with it, but the rip off thing is getting old.

=) (Just sayin)

I speak the truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Halo.

In this case I can agree with you, having to buy a multiple disc game when one disc breaks is redundant. You may have one disc working , but the other one does. I can already see games like Mass Effect 2 suffering due to this flaw.

How would the invitation work? Couldn't you just install someone elses ODST in the xbox and play it like that or do you need an actual working ODST?

Wait a mIn00t.

Only those who pre-ordered ODST got a Reach Beta Invitation, or am I wrong?

You're going to need an actual, working copy of ODST that you can boot up and play. I'm assuming there won't be a download, but that the beta will be available through the actual disc via title update at some point. Regardless, you'll need to be able to actually play the game.

Don't hate... ...loathe.

Even when you install a game to the hard drive you have to have the game disk in the drive to prove that you still own it.

Yep. otherwise everybody would just start passing a disc around and only one person would pay for it, and 100+ people would be able to play it. That would kill Bungie and Microsoft. Unless they charged $1000 dollars per game, and then companies would start popping up and charging you like $40 bucks to download it to your console, and yada yada yada. You know what'll happen.
