> WARNING: Do NOT insert this disc in a non-Preview console. Doing so will disable access to Xbox LIVE

> IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY USE THE DISC PROVIDED IN A REGISTERED PREVIEW CONSOLE.

> FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS NOTE WILL RESULT IN NON-PREVIEW CONSOLES UNABLE TO CONNECT TO LIVE

There's no technical reason for that to happen incidentally. It seems like it must have been malice on Microsoft's part, as a vigilante effort to "punish" people who shared the disc without their blessing.
