Halo Reach available to download ???

Halo: Reach Listed On Xbox.com For 99999 MSP

It might look like someone at Microsoft has made a big mistake and posted Halo: Reach onto Xbox.com for download a month prior to the game's retail release, but apparently it's supposed to be there, with MS confirming that it isn't an error.

And with an exorbitant price tag of 99999 Microsoft Points - or roughly £857 - the 7GB download may seem a tempting proposition for rich kids looking to get their Halo on a month early, but you can't purchase the game even if you have the funds, as download requires a "25-character pre-paid token" according to the MS Support site.

This isn't a hint that Reach will be a Games on Demand title either, as it's likely just a way to give journalists quick access to the game by sending out a token for download and review in the run up to Halo: Reach's release on September 14th, 2010.

Still, it looked pretty exciting for a second, even if there's no way in hell I'd pay £850 to play Halo: Reach, no matter how good it might be.
