Subject: I'm in the UK - where can I buy Halo: Combat Evolved?

Hi guys,

I know this quesiton will have been asked before, but I'm looking for an up-to-date answer. It'a little while since I played the original and best Halo, and want to know how to get my hands on a copy. I dont really want to download the marketplace version ideally. Any help would be appreicated - and I'm in the UK...

Cheers

eBay? but whatever is the disk for it is now rare.

Ordered a pre-owned but near mint condition disk from ebay - mission accomplished. I'm excited now...

Danger! Game discs are region-locked just like DVDs! If you bought an American disc there's a good chance that it will not function on a UK Xbox.

Try Amazon.uk, or download a digital version.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo:CE > Reach > ODST > Wars

I bought my Halo:CE from Game.co.uk last year sometime for like £10 i think, just have a look on there if you find out the one you got from ebay is poor quality or whatever.

I hope the disk you bought runs on that xbox! Good luck!

Thanks for the pointers guys. I should point out I took my time looking around, bought it from a very reputable seller, who is based in London and has had 99.9% positive feedback.

Its a UK disk which he confirmed will work in my 360, and if I'm not happy he'll refund it if I cover return postage.

It should hopefully be in my postbox when I get home, so I'll let you know...

Also - I did try Game but they've officially stopped stocking original xbox titles :(

UPDATE

Got the disk, was pretty much in mint condition as advertised. Most importantly it works beautifully on the 360 after a short update. My first shot with the pistol was on a little grunty face - very satisfying!

Well if nobody has pointed it out to you yet, Combat Evolved is also buyable from Xbox Live under: Xbox Originals.

Yep I know - but I don't have much space on my hard-drive so wanted to get the disk version.
