Xbox 360 artwork – logo changed from ™ to ® ... when?

[GM80]

Looking at all my 360 cases today, I noticed that the "exploding X" logo recently changed from being simply ™ (trademark) to ® (registered trademark). Mass Effect still has ™, as do all the games before it (on my shelf). The Force Unleashed and the games after it have ®. The on-disc and manual artwork is consistent with the case art in all cases.

Can anyone narrow down when this change occurred based on their games? Do any transition games have ™ and ® mixed between disc and artwork? Did any games change between the two on later runs? It could be useful in identifying first run vs. reprint discs and paperwork if such a need arises (such as bugs or extras in a first run).

You'll probably only see the ™ vs ® on stuff that would go to Platinum Hits. They usually don't do massive 'reprints' of most of the games unless its warranted... COD4, Halo 3, Gears 2 type titles. That or if something happens to get a new print release like the GOTY editions of CoD4 ect.

Most of my 'recent' stuff that i've got laying about seems to have the ® on it.

Soul Calibur IV, Fallout 3 LE, Gears 2 LE, Fable II LE, all have it and they are new in the last 2 months. Operation Darkness (June 24 08), Spectral Force 3 (July 29, 08), GTA IV LE (April 29, 08) also have it.

Tales of Vesperia LE (August 26, 08) has a TM on it so i'm not really sure what to think.
