Yes, I did see it and just realized that it was deleted. I tried using my history to find it, but I get an error message.

Can't imagine how such news would be true, or at least not linked to a pyramid scheme.

If there is such a story pending, it will make the front page and stay there. If it disappears, it was killed for a reason.


Promotional offer from Microsoft. You have to buy a 360 and sign up to live to qualify. It was up not too long ago...

I saw it, it WAS on the first page.

It was basically for 1 month you buy an Xbox 360, set up a new Xbox Live account, then you get Halo 3 through mail.

Whether it's superbouncing or interrupting weapon animations, just because we don't personally ban you for it doesn't mean it isn't cheating and extremely poor sportsmanship.

yeah, it was there Recon. I saw it myself.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

Probably a case of Microsoft leaking info to soon again. Wasn't info that was ready to be released yet.

True, posting it and then deleting it would definitely prevent people from whining. lol

What's a portal?

It is on xbox.com (if you google it) it is for those on original Xbox with active Live accounts. If they buy a 360 and migrate their Live account over they get Halo 3 free.

From xbox.com

"Current Paid Xbox LIVE Members on the original Xbox console (not Xbox 360), here's how to get your Halo 3 game:

1. Buy an Xbox 360 console between November 21 and December 21, 2007.
2. Convert your current paid Xbox LIVE account to an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription.
3. Register here between November 21 and December 21, 2007 with promotional code XBX7777, with your new console serial number, and a valid mailing address.
4. Look for your copy of Halo 3 in your mailbox!"

Here linky linky

NOW it makes sense. The news post here had incorrect information and needed to be removed to prevent LOL DRAMA on the forums.
I'm sure a correct version will be posted sooner or later.
