It's pretty unlikely at this point that you own an Xbox 360 without a copy of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/halo-reach"><em>Halo: Reach</em></a> in some form or another. But if for some crazy reason you just got an Xbox 360 and you're <em>still</em> 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).<br />
<br />
There's also a handful of Avatar clothing/items, as well as the always thrilling "Anchor 9 Premium Theme," <em>you big collector, you</em>. Head to <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Halo-Reach/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d53085b?nosplash=1%3Fcid%3Dmajornelson&amp;partner=majornelson&amp;SortBy=BestSellingToday">Xbox.com</a>'s Halo: Reach section to see how today's discounts apply to your region.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://majornelson.com/2011/12/27/coming-soon-to-the-xbox-live-marketplace-15/">right here</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/27/halo-prices-dropped-across-the-board-on-xblm-today-discounts-on/">Halo prices dropped across the board on XBLM today, discounts on other titles in the pipeline</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:30:00 EST.

<em>Mega Man</em> bosses have have essentially followed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Master">same template</a> since the beginning of the series. There are strong ones (Guts Man, Hard Man), elemental ones (Fire Man, Ice Man), and the weird ones (Clown Man? Seriously?). It seems like coming up with original robot designs is as <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/12/mega-man-9-achievements-are-mega-tough/">difficult as the <em>Mega Man</em> series</a> itself, as IGN has taken the liberty of introducing us to <a href="http://wii.ign.com/articles/897/897894p1.html">three of the new bosses</a> to be featured in <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/mega-man-9"><em>Mega Man 9</em></a>. In no particular order, they are Concrete Man, Tornado Man and Magma Man. We'll let you guess which categories they all belong to. Concrete Man can be seen above. Check out the other two after the break (see if you can guess which one is which!).<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/12/ign-shows-off-three-mega-man-9-bosses/">Joystiq</a>]<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/13/mega-man-9-bosses-are-awfully-familiar/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Mega Man 9 bosses are awfully familiar</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/13/mega-man-9-bosses-are-awfully-familiar/">Mega Man 9 bosses are awfully familiar</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:00:00 EST.
