this is gonna sell like hotcakes

Isn't Halo Wars going to be a 15 or at least teen rated?

This isn't a "bundle" more a "Hey would you like a free game with your 360?" They're not going to alienate a new part of their userbase (familys) by making it so they can't get one.

Very good way to get your game out the door. Considering this is an RTS and I am not sure how many console owners play these it seems like a good move.
