Unless you know something I don't, then SWOS is not out yet.

It was released shortly after 9am GMT this morning, stayed up fo an hour before being pulled. Apparently the game logged you out of Live, and had several bugs (freezing and gfx errors).
MS has since stated a beta version was upped by mistake (that was 8 hours ago) and later they said, both them and Codies are working hard to fix this problem.

With all the bugs, it does seem plausible, that a beta was released, but then where is the final build??
There's been talk this is due to the in-game advertising (thank you Massive Inc.).

Codemasters has (as usual) been tight-lipped about this, and leaves it to their forum admins post news. Only problem is, they don't give said admins any news to post.
