It appears that the new Xbox LIVE update, which will introduce support for the new XGD3 disk format, might prevent a very small number of Xbox 360 owners from playing retail game discs.
Kotaku were contacted by a reader who received an email from Microsoft informing him that it had detected via Xbox LIVE that his Xbox (a 60GB Pro from 2009) was affected. Microsoft has offered to replace his console with a new Xbox 360S with 250GB hard drive at no expense.
The email has since been verified by Xbox Support via their official Twitter account.
The XGD3 format will allow for additional storage space on a game disc, and will provide additional levels of copy production.
The Xbox LIVE Spring update will be rolled out between May 19 to May 30.
Update: Microsoft has confirmed that a "a very small number" of consoles are affected. This fault manifests itself as a 'disc unreadable' or 'disc unsupported' error on the screen. Microsoft said it is able to detect this issue over Xbox Live and are proactively reaching out to customers that may be impacted to replace their console.
If you receive this error, contact Microsoft at www.xbox.com/support/contact

I'm one of the lucky people that got into the beta early and I've been playing it non-stop since yesterday. Here's a list of things I think should be fixed. These are all observations made from playing Team Deathmatch.
-The Ink Grenades immobilize you for about 2 1/2 seconds when they land 3 or 4 feet from you causing you to nearly die all on their own. I think it would be fine if they stopped you from shooting like the smoke grenades do but being immobilized in ink makes them too good.
-The meat shield has about half the durability compared to Gears 2. Wtf why? It was perfect in Gears 2. Make it how it use to be.
-Updating/trading shotgun kills happens way more often now. I thought having dedicated servers was going to fix that? Guess not. It did the opposite. That needs to be addressed somehow so it stops happening so often.
-It feels like you have less health than in Gears 2. Which is not cool because it was perfect in Gears 2. You die a lot quicker now. We need a small increase of health please.
-People aren't kidding when they say the Retro Lancer is really really strong. It needs to either have even more kickback, or a shorter clip size, or a small damage nerf.
-The movement speed was increased a little too much. It's faster than Gears 1 and it makes it hard to be tactical with your team. Anyone can just run around mindlessly with the sawd-off and get plenty of kills. Maybe make it a little faster than Gears 2 but not so much.
-The Boomshot has 3 shots again. After changing it back to 2 shots in Gears 2 you think they would leave it like that because it was fine that way. Change it back to 2 shots please.
Everything else seems fine and balanced. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Story
A man-made floating city called the Ark, made up of hundreds of separate floating islands, is on the brink of all-out civil war. Originally built as an experimental self-sufficient and 100% "green" habitat, the reported rapid rise of the Earth's oceans has forced the Ark to become a refuge for humanity. Crammed with the original Ark founders, their descendants, as well as tens of thousands of refugees, the Ark exists in total isolation from the rest of the world. With 25 years of social unrest, the inhabitants of the Ark have reached their breaking point. It's up to you to decide the future of the Ark and the human race.
