Shack PSA: Halo Half Price on Xbox Live Tomorrow

December 22, 2008 3:57 PM

Microsoft has announced that Bungie's Halo: Combat Evolved will be discounted by 50% for Xbox Live Gold members beginning tomorrow.

Normally priced at 1200 Points ($15), the downloadable version of the classic shooter will be available for 600 Points ($7.50), according to Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb.

The deal will run through next week, giving you plenty of time to realize your old Xbox disc is MIA.

Spend it on a good Arcade game like Braid or Castle Crashers instead.

  Well, it's probably worth it. If you just come back from a long journey behind the moon and haven't had a chance to play Halo at all yet. The first game was the best one in my opinion. Well worth the $7.50 anyways.

      it's the most generic sci-shooter i've ever played, allow me to laugh a hearty one at the "Combat Evolved" title.

        Halo 1 came at a time when console FPS' were still evolving for the "next gen". It changed a lot of things and if you can't recognize this you are a sad little man.

        what? vehicular combat? : >
        i still think the best shooter on consoles has been GoldenEye, sadly as it may be, but then again, i'm a PC guy myself ;)

        Are you kidding me? This golden eye nostalgia needs to stop. It was fun when it was released, but really is a horrible game when played today.

        GoldenEye is one of the best shooters ever. Some guys are remaking it as a HL2 mod, there's already a playable release with a few maps and stuff :D

        still has better combat (offhand grenades/melee attack for every weapon and great AI) than 90% of games that come out today.
