Basically if you have an official disc that is BC compatible that's your license to download, instead of paying $.
In the case of GTA: SA you can use any Xbox version or Xbox 360 version for your region.

Funny thing is with Lost Odyssey I've used an Asian disc set (Hong Kong etc) which is actually NTSC-J but on 360 it has PAL compatibility (not NTSC-U though). I was surprised it took the disc ok. If it didn't it wouldn't have been a big deal as I have a PAL set too, but I'm curious to see if it does get me the Asian digital version (which has Japanese audio) or if I just get the version for my region.
Odyssey was great. Might pick it up again if I find it in a bargain bin somewhere. Hell it made for a better Final Fantasy game than FF13 was
