Halo Reach disks stolen from factory, available in Brazil

26 August 2010

Earlier this week we reported that Halo Reach had been leaked, and is now doing the rounds via BitTorrent.

A second leak has now emerged, and this one pertains to 100 actual game disks being stolen from a Microsoft factory in Puerto Rico.  

According to Puerto Rico Association of Gamers, the disks are now being sold on the streets of Brazil. The author had this to say:

Yesterday I heard a rumor that copies of Halo Reach were being sold on the street. I was also told that a few people that bought illegally the discs were playing them in Xbox Live online. The next day, I was told, federal agents presented themselves to the persons house along with a security officer from the Microsoft Manufacturing Facility. They arrested at least one person and interrogated him as to how he had obtained the illegal copy. This was the rumor. It sounded like a story we have heard thousands of times.

Microsoft has yet to comment on the matter.
