Meant to download Reach Beta the day it came out, but was feeling too lazy to get up and put my ODST disc in. When I finally did get my ODST disc in and got the download started, I ejected the disc, put the game I was playing back in, and put ODST back in its case and back on the self and sat back down... only to discover that exiting ODST CANCELLED the download. Absolutely ridiculous! Wasn't about to pamper the stupid thing by getting back up, switching discs again, and leaving ODST running without being able to do anything else on my xbox while I waited for a long, slow download to complete. I heard some people get codes to download it without having to have any disc in the drive at all. Not sure why they didn't just include one of those codes with ODST in the first place. Kind of unfair that some people "choosen" to try Reach Beta and get it easy, while those who actually spent $60 on ODST have to screw around with a dumb disc and stupid nonsense such as having to have the game running for hours while the thing downloads.

Maybe when I am not in such a bad mood I will try downloading it again.
