Is it a Halo: Reach case that the disc comes in? I plan on trading in my current copy of Reach when the new one comes, but I'm hoping it has a case (for game management purposes). (Basically, what I'm asking is -- is the case shown above one for Reach?)

came as shown, still wrapped in plastic when i took pic

It looks like Microsoft is testing the possibility of updating the system via games as well as the internet

Pretty sure it's always been a requirement for game discs to come with the latest version of the dashboard? Before I was on Live I got updates through the discs (in 2006).

They need to test this one because they need to see if consoles without the firmware update can use the new disc format without going crazy and saying it's an unidentified format... that's the way I see it anyway...

So I got accepted into the DISC version of the program, but unfortunately the Xbox console I registered into the program is having problems and so I had to get myself a new one. Does anyone know if there's a way to change my beta access so it's tied to the new console instead of the old one, or am I SOL until the program ends and the update becomes publicly available? I had sorta hoped that since I was getting my update off the disc that it would work on my new console but that warning that comes with the disc says otherwise.

letter says its full copy, not sure what you mean by official

I guess "official" isn't a great word to use...I meant an actual copy that would normally get released to the public....artwork and all....

doubtfull since this is same version of game, just on the new layout disk

and you could always google the artwork and print your own

No, there's no reason for them to do that. People could just trade them in, and why give another copy when you're already giving the full copy?

Same here, though honestly I'm not particularly excited about this test as it means not much to me, and I already have Halo Reach.

Same. I'm just hoping some more interesting stuff comes out for it, like the rumored Netflix update. It'd be nice to get a Facebook update, too.

I am curious what exactly the difference between the preview disc and the regular Reach. What did they put in that extra gig?

Well the update for one would be in that space. They don't need to artifically increase Reach's filesize to test if the new disc format works properly.

I am extremely confused.

I got an email saying I didn't get in a few days ago.

I don't see that group available in my connect dashboard.

Now today I just got an overnight Fedex envelope with the disc.

:pinch:

I want to try it but I might be locked out of xbox live which would suck.

      Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

      Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
