Today on the dash they are advertising 20% off and a free game disc if you purchase Xbox Live through the dashboard. At a price of 47.99 and the choice of Halo Reach, Fable 3, Kinect Sports and Kinectanimals I figure I'll probably buy it and choose Reach. Though it says it is a disc, it says it will be redeemable after 10 days, which confuses me as to whether it is in fact a disc, or if I would downloading Reach from the Marketplace. Does anyone have any insight on whether or not you actually get a disc or not, and what you have to do to redeem it? Also, how long does the disc take to get there on average? It says allow up to 10 weeks, but I'm just wondering how long it actually takes. Thanks.

Well since none of those games are availble for download I would assume they send you a disk or a coupon for the disk.

Really? This is a pretty good deal. I wouldn't mind having a copy of Fable 3, although my Live subscription is far from up. Like the above poster said none of these games are available for download. I doubt M$ is giving out free copies of the discs, but rather promotional copies that are identical to the games, but say "Not for Resale" on them. Otherwise many people would buy a new Live subscription, get their game and then sell it.
