If you got a free copy of Halo: Reach from Microsoft as being part of the XBL Public Preview Program you may want to check the email you signed up to the program with because your Halo: Reach disc won't work after the new Halo: Reach title update. But fear not! Because MS is giving a code to download Halo: Reach from games on demand for free!

Here's the email I received from them.

 
Earlier this year, you participated in the Xbox LIVE Public Preview program and were provided a copy of Halo: Reach as part of your participation. Unfortunately, this Halo: Reach “preview disc” cannot be updated with a conventional Title Update, causing the game to be unplayable after the recent Halo: Reach Title Update on September 21, 2011. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 

To get you back online with Halo: Reach, below is a code for the Games on Demand version of the game. Once the code is redeemed and your copy of Halo: Reach is downloaded, the game will work as usual, including the features added by the title update. All of your Halo Reach game saves will work normally as well. You may then discard the disc from the Public Preview program. 

Please note that this Games on Demand version of Halo: Reach will require you to have some storage on your Xbox 360 – a hard drive or USB of at least 6.6 gigabytes.

I'm downloading the game right now.
