Halo: Reach is only a week away, and Microsoft is counting down the days with previews, themes, and other downloadable goodies, leading up to the Halo: Reach Invasion Week on Xbox Live.
Halo: Reach is Microsoftās biggest game of the year, and itās setting aside a full two weeks to help fans celebrate the gameās September 14 release.
Festivities kick off today, September 7, with a Halo Reach Premium theme, available right now on Xbox Live for 240 Microsoft points. Iāve already purchased a copy, and itās quite attractive, as you can see.
Each day between now and launch day brings something new. On September 8 weāre getting a campaign preview. September 9 sees the Warthog avatar prop discounted by 50%. On September 10 thereāll be a Firefight preview, followed by the release of the directorās cut of the Deliver Hope live-action commercial on Saturday, September 11. Thereās a multiplayer preview on Sunday, something called the Halo: Reach Collection Update for Xbox Live avatars on Monday, and then the game hits Monday at midnight.
But wait, thereās more!
When the countdown ends, Invasion Week begins, with chances to play against Bungie devs, a free Invasion Week theme, and a free Xbox Live Gold weekend running from September 17-20.
All this, plus 50% the Halo Legends anime through September 21.
Is that enough hype for you folks, or do you need more?
