Microsoft loves to parade every Halo release around like it is a global holiday (soon it will be I am sure). This year they are having a week of Xbox Live related activities to build up the 20 million plus members of Live into a frenzy.
7 September – Day 7: “Halo: Reach Premium Theme”
8 September – Day 6: “Campaign Preview”
9 September – Day 5: “50% off Avatar Warthog Prop Offer”
10 September – Day 4: “Firefight Preview”
11 September – Day 3: “Deliver Hope – Director’s Cut”
12 September – Day 2: “Multiplayer Preview”
13 September – Day 1: “Halo: Reach Collection Update (Avatar)”
I don’t know what the Collection Update is but that is what makes me the most intrigued. I am always a fan of like a free t-shirt or something for my avatar. Also make sure before you start playing Reach you go into Halo Waypoint on release day and update your stuff to unlock special armor pieces for your spartan based on certain achievements you may have unlocked.
Sign in to Xbox LIVE on these days to view the fresh new content including the awe inspiring full length edit of Deliver Hope this Saturday.
Next, after securing your place on Noble Team with a copy of the game, it’s officially Halo: Reach “Invasion Week” on Xbox Live. Six days of online activities not to be missed by any Halo fan. Between 14-19 September you can look forward to…
A free Halo: Reach Invasion Theme for your Xbox 360 dashboard, a chance to play against Bungie themselves. The guys that made Halo: Reach will be playing against you, the fans, at set times during the week.
They are also throwing open all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold membership to our Silver subscribers for the weekend of 17-20 September.
Also from September 7th to the 21st they are offering Halo Legends for 50% through the Zune Marketplace.
