Summary: The Halo Waypoint app (Xbox 360) does not seem to be updated to the fact that there is a Games-on-Demand version of Halo 3: ODST, and it may be misleading people.
Platform: Xbox 360.
Description: If you select the “Play Halo” tab from the Halo Waypoint app main menu and then scroll over to Halo 3: ODST (without having its disk in the tray), it will tell you that this game is not available from Games on Demand and to insert the disk to play. If you search Games on Demand ,however, you will find that Halo 3: ODST (Campaign Edition) is, in fact, available.
Expected Result: The “Play Halo” tab should give you the option to download Halo 3: ODST from Games on demand, just like all the other Halos that are available for download.
Actual Result: The “Play Halo” tab treats Halo 3: ODST like a disk only game without a Games on Demand counterpart.
Relevant Hardware/Software: Xbox 360(S), Halo Waypoint app (Xbox 360), Halo 3: ODST (Campaign Edition).
Note: As of now, I have downloaded Halo 3: ODST (Campaign Edition). Now, when viewing the “Play Halo” tab (once again without the disk), it recognizes that I have Halo 3: ODST (Campaign Edition) downloaded and gives the “Play Now” option.
Conclusion: It’s not a major problem, but if left unattended you could lose out on sales.
