If by MSP you mean Microsoft Points, it's going to be a retail release, budget price of $40 believe I however, or $50 instead of the usual $60.

Or £29.99 in the UK.

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

$40 in USA
£35 in UK

however you could likely find it for cheaper

______________________________

OT: surprisingly large install when you think about it, but that probably stems from the double engine/asset system they used.

Is that the biggest single disc on the 360 so far?

When did "Install Size" become a thing? Basically, it's "How big is the game" in 9/10 occasions. If you choose to install a game to the 360 via the optional instal, it loads faster and runs better--even old games from early in the 360's life. There are a couple of exceptions (Halo 3 for instance).

Instead of saying Halo's install will be 7.5GB, why not just say Halo will be 7.5GB? Those that will install will know they need 7.5GB and those that don't want to install will just say, "Fuck it".

Gears of War 3 is also 7.5 GB.

themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
