I just bought a 360 a week ago, and I didnt het ODST yet, so if I were to get it now would I still be eligible, or is it too late? Oh yeah, and I had bought and Arcade version, which didnt come with a hard drive, so I bought a used 120GB hard drive. But my xbox only says that 107 GB's are free, is this normal, and if so then what happened to those 13 gigabytes?

The space is lost to the operating system and formatting

Yes just grab ODST and you'll have the beta

You can still make it.

And your harddrive is losing space because your game saves and data are taking up space. That, and the system preferences and such.

In order to get the Reach beta you need to buy ODST. I have ODST so I will be playing the beta day one.

No code came in the box - I believe it just uses the ODST game in the disc tray as a "code."

The first poster already addressed the HDD issue. Before the HDD is used, a program installed on the HDD goes through and locates corrupted or problem sectors on the media. It marks those as unusable. The OS also uses some. Those two things will eat your 13 GB

If this is the case than why wouldn't used copies work?

Indeed.
