LET THE BATTLE BEGIN - “HALO WARS” OFFERED WITH XBOX CONSOLES

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - February 19, 2009 - Halo WarsTM, the next instalment in the blockbuster Xbox 360 Halo® franchise, will hit shelves on February 26th 2009. To celebrate, Xbox has today announced that every purchase of a new Xbox 360 console will receive a copy of Halo Wars* at no additional charge.

The highly anticipated Halo Wars is a must for all Xbox owners. It’s perfect for both curious real-time-strategy fans looking to explore the genre on the console platform and for those looking to get their hands on the latest Halo game.

The Halo series has captured millions of fans worldwide, becoming a popular culture phenomenon. Halo Wars will give fans a different perspective of the Halo universe and add a new chapter to the famous Halo franchise.

With a starting price of $299.95 RRP, Xbox 360 offers the best value in next-generation gaming. Available at participating retailers, the Halo Wars offer applies to the entire Xbox 360 range of consoles and will run from February 26th to March 26th or until stock runs out.

 Yes, me for example. Is this offer limited to Australia?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

er.... so a halo wars bundle then... ?

and?

 

Exactly, I can't see the difference.

Unless people have to ask for their copy, and those that don't, don't get it.  Then it's more of a secret bundle, but then the point of offering this game with a purchase of a xbox seems rather pointless...

Why not post "IN AUSTRALIA" in the title thread ??? Some sony fanboys like the thread tarter are so obnoxious....

I think Microsoft needs to bundle games outside the Halo brand if they want to increase sales of the console really.. Really good value though! Same price as the DSi in Australia..

He's influenced too much by the great spinningness that sony and MS have demonstrated :p  Leave out that part that doesn't suit your "omg, we are doing so good"-message ^^
