I had the original until about a month ago. I got the live download because it was convenient. Also, I noticed that a used Halo 1 copy at Game Stop costs $22, when the download is $15.

I would buy a physical copy just so i wouldnt have to worry about HD space. Check any store besides the gamestops or the ebgames. If there is a gamecrazy near you id advise you to check with them first for a copy.

Wasn't it that game where this little alien guy gathered up and drank soda???

I had the original, but it got too scratched. But I bought another one, and it works.

Talk sense to a fool and he'll call you foolish.

I have the original, but it's pretty scratched. I play multiplayer sometimes, but I haven't played the campaign in forever, so I don't know if that still works. A scratched disc kind of like a dog eared book... Except it doesn't work if it's too dog eared :*(

Platinum hits now. The original disc, I gave to my stepbrother when my mom got her 2nd divorce. That disc was the best... really sentimental because it came with the Xbox and KoTOR as a Christmas present to the two of us. I got the xbox and KoTOR. Still have those two. But the cool thing about the platinum hits is the demo video stuff for the latest games... it's the Halo 2 New Mombasa that we didn't get to play. The Halo 2 that wasn't released. Man, it's sweet to watch. I think they call them trailers..

Hell no I didn't download it. I had an original copy, but it got lost long ago at one of many lan parties. I got the game of the year edition for christmas. Pissed me off that the marketplace version didn't have online capability, so I boycotted it.

Get it right.

I had it when i still had orginal xbox.
sold that years ago with all games.
Tomorrow im going to shop and pick up the classic version of Halo:CE just to play with friends and campaing

I have the original, which is, suprisingly, in a pretty good condition. A few scratches here and there, but nothing too serious. ;)

  • 01.20.2008 9:12 PM PDT

"Life sucks, because only Buddhists get a respawn!"

OP, the first option should say I have the orignal copy . There should also be a (I had it but lost it, then downloaded it) option.

I still have my copy i got with my Xbox and it has no scratches.

Halo:CE is also the reason I bought the original Xbox. When I saw that first comercial with MC up on that bridge, I was like OMGZ CAN I HAS HALO

I bought my Xbox specifically for playing Halo. When I first got both, I was literally jonesing to get home and immediately start kicking some Covenant ass. Later it occured to me that I could also kick my buddies' asses over LAN, which was awesome.

I've still got my original copy of Halo, and I still play Campaign on occasion.

Same, though somehow it's still as mint as the day I bought it, minus the circular scratch on the inner Xbox logo.
