Helloooo, sad people still clinging to Halo 2 on your original Xbox. As you know, Xbox Live for the OG Xbox is being turned off in 6 short weeks. Microsoft feels bad kinda about it! So they’re giving you 400 Xbox Live points and 3 free months of Xbox Live to join the rest of us here in the present. And! And a Halo: Reach Beta invite. That’s right, we have Halo in the present, too. [Xbox via Engadget]
