: They made it availabe digitally. I don't think they took any precautions with
: it. They could have made copies only available in disc form. I'd have said
: the same thing. With a game like Reach, why give out any advance copies at
: all? Will it contribute to sales in a serious way? If the answer is yes,
: they shouldn't be too upset that it gets 'out there'. If you're going to
: dangle the steak, soomeone's gonna snatch it.

There was the protection of it being on the marketplace, you would have needed the DLC code to download it what with the placeholder points price being so high.

Correct me if I'm wrong put up until this point the marketplace security had not been broken, so I can't see how you can conclude that Microsoft did not take any precautions as it appears to me that they put it in what they believed to be a secure system. That this turned out to be incorrect speaks more to the tenacity and competance of the hackers than it does towards any failing on Microsoft's part.
