I called xbox on this heres the jist of it:
1. They send them out in waves
2. Not known if beta key is for early beta (it is possible though, I mean why would they need a code because if this is for hardcore halo fans, you already have ODST, and with ODST when May 3rd comes you dont need a code, assuming its like Crackdown. On top of that they said you STILL need the ODST disc WITH the code [according to the xbox guy i talked to]. I'm thinking this is like the Halo 3 beta where 10,000 people got the beta a week or so early. But that is my assumption.)
And from what i saw, this guy got it with 5 games of halo 2 and he was playing on a brand new account on a xbox 360.
I've been having an argument with my friend over this, because I haven't purchased ODST and I got the email for beta access. He insists that I still need the ODST disc to access the beta, even with receiving the email.
How does that make any sense? Why would you need to have a copy of the ODST disc (which already grants you access) just to be granted access again with the code from microsoft? It seems redundant and unnecessary. Anyone agree/disagree?
