There's a bit of good news for us on the discounted stuff front after last week's embarrassing snub - Microsoft's launching a global PRICE CRASH of Xbox Live products that'll run throughout December.

The bad news is... the first thing to be discounted is the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack, which, if you like Halo, will have been sitting on your hard drive since launch date +10 minutes.

Still, it bodes well for future discounting, with the Halo 3 map bundle seeing its price AXED by a CRAZY 33%, taking it down from 600 MS Points to 400. If you're signed into Xbox.com, you can queue up the discounted download via the web site here. You have to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber in order to take advantage of the deal.
