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.
