If you’ve noticed a lack of updates to this site, that’s because we’ve moved! You can get info for new Halo games over at the Halo 4 section of Gamesta.com, and we’ve also got a brand new Halo 4 Forum available to you!

We enjoyed spreading the latest info about Halo Reach to you as the game progressed, but as the Halo community moves on so must we!  We’re happy to keep bringing you the latest and greatest info and community for Halo 4 at the links above, and hope that you’ll join us there.  Halo 4 marks the beginning of a new Halo journey with a new developer at the helm (343 Industries instead of Bungie), and it will be a new journey for us as well as part of a larger site.  We hope you’ll join us in this next step both for us and for the Halo franchise.

See you on the other side!

Microsoft and the folks running the Xbox 360 are currently offering an incredible deal. If you are a gold member and want to renew for another 12 months or are a silver member and want to finally step it up to gold with a 12 month subscription you’ll have a pretty nice incentive to do so.

Purchase a 12 month subscription(upgrade or renewel) and get one of these games free!

• Halo Reach
• Fable 3
• Kinectimals
• Kinect Sports

Within 5-7 days after subscribing you’ll receive instruction on how to get your game. The only downside of this deal is that you’ll have to wait 2 months for the game to arrive in the mail.. It’s an offer to consider, but don’t wait, the deal may disappear at any time. Check your Xbox 360 dashboard for the offer!

The only thing left do is shoot at it with a real gun and see what happens. Check out the video, i think you know where this is going..

• Halo Reach Standard(retail 59.99)(sale 39.99)(you save 33%)
• Halo Reach Limited Edition(retail 79.99)(sale 69.99)(you save 13%)
• Halo Reach Legendary Edition(retail 149.99)(sale 69.99)(you save 53%)

Notice that both Legendary and Limited are the same price, so if you’ve got the money, the choice is pretty obvious. Click here to check out the sales at Amazon. Another Halo Reach Deal of interest comes from Connected Consoles who reports that GameStation in the UK is selling the Limited Edition for £24.99.

After Thanksgiving Day Sales

I’m sure all of you are well aware of Black Friday, well, at least you better be.. Black Friday is known as the day after American Thanksgiving Day when everyone hits the malls and department stores looking for great deals on anything and everything. Although many retailers let consumers buy online, some deals are exclusive to in-store purchases.

Video games are a hot ticket item this holiday season, as they are every year. Halo: Reach is at the top of the list so if you haven’t been able to buy it because you’re strapped on funds, bookmark this site because we’re about to rundown the Halo: Reach Black Friday sales this year!

• Best Buy $39.99
• Gamestop $39.99
• Kmart $39.99
• Target $35.00
  
• Wal-Mart $35.00
• Sears in 4GB Xbox 460 + Halo: Reach $199.99

Keep in mind that these sales aren’t available everywhere. There are also a number of other great games to get if you already have Reach. Fable 3 is going for $40 at Kmart along side Halo: Reach.

It’s about time for some new maps, isn’t it? The Noble map pack is shaping up to deliver just what the fans have been itching for.
