The Xbox 360 version of Bethesda's Fallout 3 has already appeared on file-sharing sites, despite the fact it doesn't officially release until October 28 in North America.
Users on one pirating site claim that the file available is not a retail copy of the game, rather a copy of a review version of Fallout 3.
Playing pirated games on an Xbox 360 requires a modified console and a capable DVD burner, file-sharers stated.
Bethesda, which is aware of the situation, offered a "no comment" when contacted by Edge on the matter.
