Microsoft enticing original Xboxers towards Live with free Halo 3
You can get a free copy of Halo 3 if you decide to buy an Xbox 360 after November 21st and before December 21st. So far, so good. The catch? You have to have had an *original* paid Xbox Live account. And you need to convert your Live account into a gold subscription to Xbox Live. Then, if you register with Microsoft before the deadline on December 21st, you'll get your free copy of Halo 3 sometime before January 23rd. More details available here.
Looks like another cunning plan by Microsoft to entice people into signing up for a gold account. It's a promotion that takes a similar tactic to the recently released Xbox Live Arcade pack, the one that packaged five free arcade games in with a 360 bundle. Especially with the new map packs around the corner, Microsoft wants to get as many people online playing Halo 3 as possible.
