It seems someone has slipped up somewhere, Maxconsole has reported that an exploit in the Xbox 360 version of, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, can unlock those XBLA demos you have downloaded and turn them into the full game, here is what the website had to say.
Oh dear! Certain publishers on XBLA will not be happy. We have it on good authority from L-S that an exploit has been found in Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 that allows owners to unlock full versions of some XBLA games. The ‘exploit’ works on certain games (especially SNK) including Metal Slug 3, Fatal Fury Special, and Samurai Showdown II. Full details inside. *Update* Multiple users are claiming it really does work and with achievements!
In order to unlock the full versions of these games on XBLA, here’s what you have to do:
- Download the XBLA demo of these games (obviously)
- Launch your MW2 game
- Stay on the main screen (where “press start is present)
- Push “guide” button
- Select “quick start” and select your XBLA gameDone ! There are many games that work with this trick although not all!
Full details will be posted at Logic-Sunrise.com in due course but for now they thought they’d share this with us exclusively!
*Update* L-S claims there is more to it and will reveal more later. However, they are still claiming the above method works
A number of users are claiming it does WORK and even with achievements. Major OOPS for MS!

This will at some stage be patched and there is no telling if this will get your console banned or not, so be careful when attempting.

Could anyone please confirm this is working with the US version of MW2? I have waited for ages on the "Press Start Button" screen and no 'Guide' option appears. Thanks!

Only thing I could say is that I might be going blind or something like that... I don't really see a big X anywhere. This is on the first screen after you start the game, right?
Thanks for the help!

The "big X" as in the green Xbox button on the middle of the controller. I've yet to try this, but hey, I don't own the one I have (and the other one's RRoDed without the desire to learn how to fix it yet), so I guess I'll just have to weep quietly to myself.
I wonder if it works with Limbo. If it does, I might have to try it.

Just an FYI, the PRIVATE Game Sharing/Trading section wont gain you any benefits, so posting like crazy to 100 posts wont accomplish anything, you'll just see an empty section and nothing else.
