Either way, that was really awesome of Bungie to do. Has anyone posted photos of the event?

True you bring up a valid point. I don't think the majority of people even know. Since the discs they handed out where the final build of the game, there doesn't appear to be a difference between it and a "retail" disc. Other than the black marker with a random number on it, there were three different color plain sleeves they were in, red, yellow, green, but the box was pretty fully of them, not sure if there were any other color sleeves.
I saw a few auctions on eBay for them, links below if anyone wants to see it, and a few of them include the numbered wristband:

If the disc was stamped "Developer Copy Only" that would be one thing, but they don't appear to be. Any one who has one that was serious about selling I feel would include the numbered wristband. They had told us that 300 wristbands were going to be handed out and each wristband had a number in red ink on the underside, so anyone who was there and got one would probably offer the wristband with it to help at least validate it to some degree.
I took some photos but they came out rather poor, mainly due to my inferior camera on my phone. Once inside we were standing close to the employee kitchen/break area and we could take photos, but then ushered up some stairs and told no photos allowed. This area was where some of the employees would be in a circle testing elements of the game, and then we could look over many of the desks/work areas for the employees. Once we were taken downstairs to the main floor we could take photos again of their display cases and artwork on the walls. It was rather chaotic with a line of tables where they would give you a poster to have signed and then after that we were taken into their theater to play a multiplayer match, and then ushered outside. I did get some good photos of the display cases and such though.
