Halo 2 Price Drop

Less than one month ago, major North American retailers selling Halo 2 dropped their collective prices to approximately $29.99.

The Microsoft published and Bungie developed first-person shooter shipped in November 2004 and broke sales records, while significantly bolstering Xbox hardware sales. Both Halo and Halo 2 sold for full retail prices ($49.99) for many months (and/or years).

After a quick scan across the Web, it's clear all retailers are selling the game for at least $20 less than the previous price.

• Best Buy, $29.99
• Amazon, New: $16.75; Used: $15.82
• EB Games, $29.99
• Gamestop, $29.99
• Walmart, Regular $19.82, Halo 2 Score: $13.88, Multiplayer Map Pack $19.82

Of course, that is, if you own an Xbox, then you pretty much for sure already bought these games. But if you are new to the system, go get this game now on the cheap. It's also backward compatible on Xbox 360.
