i bet m$ keeps a limit to what games to be played when available, like when it "officially" comes out, it will be playable because M$ sets that game to be able to be played, thats my guess.

I don't really think they care. I remember I was playing the dungeon siege game on-line almost a week before it was released (in the stores). MS didn't care and I had to use my gamezone id to connect to the servers. So its not like they didn't know, or couldn't find out who I was.
But on the other hand. I think that MS may give reviewers and other testers special names. If any is playing motogp on-line, take a look through the scoreboards. You see some strange gamertag names such as xbox000834 and so on. Would one or two people be stupid enough to choose that as a gamertag? Sure. But I've seen a dozen or so names like that. So MS may very well be able to quickly tell if someone has something that they're not supposed to have.
