Halo Reach

Halo: Reach is one of the biggest video game premiers this year. Halo fans can head to their local Best Buy store tonight to be the first to get their hands on this much-anticipated game. More than 400 Best Buy locations will open their doors at 12:01 am on Tuesday, September 14, to celebrate the launch of "Halo: Reach." But that's not all… Best Buy is also giving fans a $20 Best Buy gift card with any in-store, online or pre-order purchase of "Halo: Reach" through September 18. Participating stores will also be hosting "Halo"-themed giveaways and trivia contests as part of the midnight open events for fans in line.

"'Halo: Reach' is without a doubt one of the most anticipated games of the year, and we felt there's no better way to celebrate the launch than to offer fans a special gift card incentive when they visit us in store or online to purchase their game," said Chris Homeister, senior vice president and general manager of the home entertainment group at Best Buy. "Every 'Halo' game release has been a major entertainment event, and based on the level of excitement we've seen so far, 'Halo: Reach' could be the biggest of them all."

The big news was the motion sensor, Natal, which is a camera and a sensor bar that just plugs directly into the 360. Natal recognizes faces, body movements, objects, and even voices in order to integrate the player into the gaming environment. You can even browse the NXE using hand controls as in the movie Minority Report. Natal will automatically pick up who is in front of it and log that person into Xbox LIVE.

The video store will now be Zune-branded with 1080p instant-on streaming content in 18 countries. There will also be Facebook, Twitter and Last.FM integration.Read more
