Since it's April Fools day and it seems like there's a LOT of nonsense out there in the news feeds, this stuff is for realz. Anything that sounded too good to be true like a Halo MMO being announced i've left off the list since it's most likely bullshit.

BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY BETA for EVERYONE
This was emailed to me prior to april 1st so it's not an aprils fool joke.

Subject: Re: BFBC Beta

You need to download this torrent:"http://www.mininova.org/tor/1267481" It will download as an image, open it with Nero and burn it to a DVD-R. Stick it in ur 360, it will appear under My Games ( your box doesnt need to be modded & no risk)

EDIT : I can confirm that this works.  I downloaded the ISO, burned the ISO image to DVD-r and booted it up in my 360 just fine.  It appears under my games and you just fire it up.

Tron! I haven't seen good review yet, which is too bad. I love that arcade game (I used to have it in my house).

"BURNOUT 3 announced for Xbox Originals" = HELL YES. I loaned this to a friend 2 years ago and still have yet to get it back.

Nothing official. Patches for current issues and new maps are almost guaranteed. New units would be cool as well..

no risk on the beta trick? are you sure? I can believe it works, I did the same thing for the Guitar Hero 3 demo.

I'll download the beta... but I'll wait to see if anyone gets banned before I play it!

Why would you get banned for playing a beta?

I downloaded it and burned it do a disc, it looks authentic. The demo file name is 9704C39A1739D5F834B78604BA911BDF7EB07EFA45 Which seems kind of odd, why would you name the file that? It could be a unique serial number which potentially could out you as having copied the demo. Whether or not that would have any ill effects is up to speculation.

Ya it's looking like like CES is the beginning of the end for HDDVD. By holiday 08, everything will be BluRay.
