Is Fallout.3.READNFO.XBOX360-Seed4ME a review copy?

Most people are saying yes due to the date that this particular copy was mastered. the SS states it was mastered on 8-28-08, but Bethesda did not announce that the game went gold until about a month later. However, I have also read on other sites that review copies are not supposed to play on retail systems. the only thing that is supposed to be different with the modded 360s is that the DVD drive does not look for the security sector and would not enable the ability to run unsigned code. this copy obviously does work on the modded 360s (my copy sure does....but still played it off line and on a non-live enabled profile) so that means there could be different types of review copies out there (this one maybe being the closest thing to final without really being final) or this is actually retail and Bethesda just waited about a month to announce that the game went gold.

Damn, this game is HARD. I WANT to like that game, but I keep getting owned, and I'm always lost... But I'm a total WRPG noob, that might be why this seems so f*cking difficult...

Or it could be that the timestamp is wrong. Unlikely, but possible.

When the hell did the game gone gold, hasn´t been many days since then.

Mastered in August? Seems like a review copy.

And yeah, my 360 just got RROD one week ago. The timing could not be better.

According to rumblings on a private site I'm a member of, any releases by seed4me has been review copies. Fracture was one of the other ones they released which turned out to be a review copy. Apparently, and I cannot confirm this at this time, on review copies of games, achievements are locked and they cannot be played on Live.

Thanks for the information.

So I guess Fracture and Fallout 3 are fully-playable after all.

Edit: Guess I know what's next on my to-do list

I too can confirm achievments work fine, I'm not risking Live though so I'll be disconnected until the game comes out.
