I find it even funnyer that they still have HALO at FULL price...

Shouldn\'t they put it on the Budget Range by now ?

And HALO is $30, going on $20(it\'s stated to hit the platinum/classics/whatever the hell it\'s called lineup).

[EDIT] - And there\'s been quite a bit of press on more recent Xbox games like Ninja Gaiden and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. I do not deny that the \'box is where it\'s at today because of HALO, but it\'s not the cause of the Xbox\'s recent jump in sales.

... You wouldn\'t believe how many times I had to edit that. It was embarassing. :(
