You Want Some Halo With Your DLC
When the Xbox Live originals program was started, Halo was right there, but most complained about the price point. Why should people pay $15 for a game that is not updated in any way when you can go to the local Gamestop and buy it for $5-10.
Well, while the originals program is not cutting its prices overall, it is listening to its fanbase and has temporarily cut the price of Halo: Combat Evolved to 600 MS Points or $7.50, a savings of 50%. If you have been under a rock, or disavowed the first Xbox console, now is your chance to try a good shooter that is tuned and adjusted specifically for consoles. It also give you some ideas of how the Halo series got started if you came to the party late.
Also, another rumor going around (again) is that achievements will actually be coming to Xbox Live originals, which might suggest that sales of Xbox Orignals are slow and that achievements might be the way to boost those numbers. Remeber, people will do a lot of stupid things, like play Open Season, to get achievements. I am not buying into this one as of yet, as the evidence supporting it is thin at best.
