Using Halo 5 disc to install content for my digital code

ClaimedFMS10 · Oct 29, 2015

I borrowed a disc from a friend to install Halo 5 content on my Xbox. Now I have 2 copies of the game on my Xbox, one is the installed physical copy and one is the uninstalled digital copy. I was under the impression that I can install content from a disk
and then use the code on my account to play the game.

Is there any way to install the game without downloading the whole 50+ GB? Region is AU.

I want my games to run off the disc not the digital copy

I accidentally deleted my digital HMCC install. So many borrowed my mates disc version to reinstall to save time so technically I'm running of a disc install but using my digital license.

i purchased the halo 5 limited edition with the statue and exchanged the digital download code for a hard copy of the disc.

However I haven't received any of the codes for the extra content that came with purchasing the limited edition.

hope someone can help.

Xbox Support and 343 Industries are offering customers the opportunity to exchange digital codes for physical versions of the game. This offer is available in the following markets: North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Mexico. In order to
be eligible, the following must be true:

You have received your Limited Collector’s Edition of Halo 5: Guardians.

You have not redeemed the code for the digital version of Halo 5: Guardians.

Fyi the reason they are doing this is because you got a prepaid to predownload it with the collectors edition rather then a disk

The limited edition is a disk copy vs the collectors was a code with physical items like the guardian etc

It's not a "DLC code", just a digital copy of the game.

Yes, one can use the disc to install a game, then activate a digital copy. The digital copy will not need to re-download, it'll automatically use the disc install.

Like I said... let retailers sell digital versions for cheaper. Problem solved. You used to be able to buy cards with 360 arcade game codes on. Do the same with retail games. Use the Kinect to scan the code as well... I've only used that once for the day
one cheevo...

If they really want to sell a disc as well, allow people in install the data from disc and activate the content with a code to keep it digital... avoids large downloads.

Hey August,

The animated series was not a code that was sent out to customers who traded their Halo 5 digital codes to receive the disc, nor do we have access to additional Halo: The Fall of Reach Animated Series codes to provide. Since the Halo 5: Guardians
Limited Collector’s Edition Disc Exchange Program ended November 1, 2015;
we are unfortunately unable to further assist with this program.

Sincere apologies for any frustration this may have caused.
