0 Xbox 360 LEGO LOTR video game demo disc

With the recent release of the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game, some shipments of the game on the Xbox 360 platform have included a demo disc. This has angered many owners of these demo discs.

Though the disc reads "DEMO DISC - NOT FOR SALE", the data stored on the discs are that of the full game, and not the demo variant.

IGN has confirmed that the discs do have a labelling error. Warner Bros is recalling all discs featuring the labelling error. Those that return the discs with the labelling error will receive a non-error disc.
