    Well i just found that one on ebay and bought it (only 7 € including shipping) but i wonder if it´s just a normal Promotional Copy or whatever because normal Promo´s just look different.
    (normal promo = white bar instead of a black one behind the XBOX logo, the Disk also looks different and there is Promotional Copy not for Re-sale written on both, Disk and Cover?!)

    Doesn't look like the case the press would get. Looks more like a retail disc. Prehaps for a kiosk?

    The box is the same as the "coming soon" boxes they use on the shelf to promote about a month before release. The disc was probably used for the attract screens in Game etc.

    It's what they call "green disc" used for internal evaluation.

    I am unfamiliar with the term "green disc"

    To me it looks like a "silver" a retail disc that works on a retail system without the final printing on the disc.

    I'd have said this was one of the green discs....

    Sonopress / Arvato are an Authorized Replicator of Xbox games, and many games companies use them. Notably, Ubisoft exclusively use Sonopress and at one point, they pressed the largest launch order ever of a game, over 500,000 units.

    As they're the company that press discs, I'd say it was a pre-release promo. I don't know where my white label Xbox promos are right now, but I think the discs looked similar to this. As mentioned previously, the sleeve looks like a retailer's display box.

    I know that SonoPress did the demo discs for the OXM here in the States.
    I thought that logo looked familiar...it was always on the cardboard sleeve jackets.

    ...im kinda confused now...what is that now is it rare or not, is it the normal full game you could buy or a beta/demo or whatever?

    only thing i know is im pretty sure it isn´t a normal Promo (i got a few Promo´s here and they all look different from this one)

    It is a promo. Whether it's the full game or something different is anyone's guess - that varies from one promo to another. Often, they are the same game, yes.
