I was excited about this deal until I saw the less good version of the deal:

Current Paid Xbox LIVE Members on the original Xbox console (not Xbox 360), here's how to get your Halo 3 game:

Buy an Xbox 360 console between November 21 and December 21, 2007.
Convert your current paid Xbox LIVE account to an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription.
Register here between November 21 and December 21, 2007 with promotional code XBX7777, with your new console serial number, and a valid mailing address.
Look for your copy of Halo 3 in your mailbox!
*Online offer valid only to paid Xbox LIVE subscribers on the original Xbox console (not Xbox 360) as of November 20, 2007 in the 50 United States, D.C., and all United States military bases with valid APO/FPO basesSo yeah, if you currently have an original xBox and pay for xbox live, you can get Halo 3 by purchasing a 360. But... if you've never had an xBox or an xBox live account (like me) no free Halo 3 for you.

I got a less cool deal when I got my 360 for some free Marketplace points... but then they told me there was an "unknown error" with my old Live account. What? Thanks.

X-Box is good. Microsoft is bad.

oh boo, that sux. sorry i didn't have all the deets right. that's what i get for cutting/pasting off of an xbox fan site. now the link isn't even working. it's saying, "there's an issue with registration at this time."

dan, you must have done something to earn the ire of M$. i wonder what it was?
