With Halo: Reach only a week away it’s time for Microsoft to pull out all the stops. Every day this week on Xbox Live there will be a new thing to buy or see pertaining to the game. It all kicks off today with the Noble Team premium theme for 240 MS Points. Throw in some videos, each one highlighting a part of the game, and some avatar items and you’ll have counted down to one of the biggest games of the year.
Meanwhile, the kids over at Mountain Dew are throwing their advertising dollars behind Bungie’s final Halo game. They will be co-branding a free theme, no word on if it’s premium or not, but it’s free. Also, the first weekend the game is available September 17th-19th everyone gets to go online and murder each other since all silver members will be upgraded to gold status. If that wasn’t enough you will be able to go online and play against Bungie employees, since they aren’t busy working on anything else, right? Click the image to see the rest of what Microsoft has in store for us. Finally, have you not seen Halo: Legends yet? The anime anthology of animated Halo shorts. Well it’s going to be 50% off this week only on Xbox Live Marketplace.
