Microsoft and its Bungie Studios gaming unit are pushing to get gamers to migrate from the original Xbox platform to the Xbox 360 this holiday season.
Microsoft is planning to throw in a copy of the hugely popular Halo 3 in an effort to tempt users of the original console over to the next-generation platform.
The offer is valid for current paid-up Xbox Live members using an original Xbox console.
Consumers have to buy an Xbox 360 between 21 November and 21 December, and move their existing Xbox Live account to an Xbox Live Gold subscription.
Halo 3 was released worldwide on 25 September and became the fastest selling video game ever. The Halo series is now one of the most successful entertainment properties in history.
Do you agree?
What a RIP!!!
What a RIP!!!! I bought my 360 a little over a year ago, have had it replaced 3 times since then, and have had my live membership for over 3 years. Where the HECK is my free copy? I've been pretty loyal!!! What about me!!?? After my 3rd xbox 360 went back for another "refurbished" console, I was promised a free wireless controller and a free game. Still haven't received either and when I call back and ask about it, its never remembered, even though I give them my "collection" of reference numbers. Now they offer free things to people that dont have a 360 or xbox live?!!? What about us? The loyal paying patrons of xbox live and marketplace? The ones shelling out $$$$ for "microsoft points" every minute of the day!!!!! This is just another JERK move from microsoft!!! Live up to your commitments and promises you greedy people!!!
