Halo prices dropped across the board on XBLM today, discounts on other titles in the pipeline
27
It's pretty unlikely at this point that you own an Xbox 360 without a copy of Halo: Reach in some form or another. But if for some crazy reason you just got an Xbox 360 and you're still missing out on Bungie's swan song to the Spartans, Microsoft's got a digital version of the game discounted alongside all of its DLC (well, most of it, anyway -- the Anniversary Map Pack is sadly absent).
There's also a handful of Avatar clothing/items, as well as the always thrilling "Anchor 9 Premium Theme," you big collector, you. Head to Xbox.com's Halo: Reach section to see how today's discounts apply to your region.
Should Halo not be your particular bag, a whole mess of other deals are being offering in the coming days and weeks, mostly of the Hasbro variety. Major Nelson has conveniently compiled them for you right here.

Sorry, BUT YOU"RE WRONG!
NO Halo games
It's not my style, I favor Eye Candy games (Batman, AC series, Gears, Alan Wake, etc) more.
Also, its plagued with alot of immature (not all) gamers.

@southernpredator I concur. I own a 360 and don't own any Halo games. I gave Halo: Reach a rent over a year after getting a 360, and didn't think it was anything special.

If you're looking for a game with "Immature" gamers, there are other games out there with a higher population of said gamers.
Just sayin'.

You know, there is always campaign or local play to avoid the children on Live. And I personally thought Reach was pretty nice looking, especially some of those big open levels; not sure why it doesn't make your cut for "eye candy" games.

@southernpredator well, microsoft actually made damn sure I had a copy of reach. First I got a copy of it for a birthday present. I played it and beat the campaign and played online for awhile. Although I had some fun i found I was getting bored (it was a good game i just feel like ive moved on from halo after years of playing it) so I gave it to my brother in law. Then I was selected for the live beta and got a copy of reah sent to me for testing. Once the beta was done that disc stopped working and they sent me a code for a digital copy. It's the game that just wont go away. Also, halo 3 was one of the best games on any console this generation. Bragging about not expirencing that while trying to disparage those of us who have only shows how ignorant you are.

I remember the Killtacular Map Pack, where bungie was like, "Okay kids! You can buy it now for $6, or wait a few months til it's free!"
And when you bought the map pack you could play two premium playlists in matchmaking.
Those were the days...now we're lucky if maps get discounted to $5.

Yeah, those were better times. It sure was odd they'd state as much upfront, but then again Halo was and is popular enough that people will buy the maps day one regardless of that knowledge.
Related, is there any easy way to obtain the last two Halo 2 maps published? They aren't on the Multiplayer Map Pack disc, if memory serves me correctly. I'm pretty sure I have them saved to my 360 hard drive but don't know what I'll do in the event I lose that info.

Am I reading it wrong, or can you get Anchor 9, Tempest, and Breakpoint for free individually?

Not really halo relevant, but I am surprised to see Avatar tattoos on the "upcoming" list on Major Nelson's site. Kind of cool to finally have that, I guess, but I have no idea how they plan on effectively working that out.

... ok, I think barring the avatars from using guns is preposterous (especially ones with no real-world basis), but your apparent slight against tattoos is just, I don't know, goofy?

You can get the game for $15 on Ebay. Why would you buy this at $30 ???

Better yet, why would you ever buy Games on Demand unless you enjoy paying an extreme premium for digital convenience? The retail versions are almost always at least half the price.

The Anniversary map pack is sadly absent!? It just barely came out, AND it's a smokin' hot deal already (7 maps for $15)!
