Yahoo Games reports that starting November 1st, XBox Live players need to get ready to shell out some more cash to play online:
“In the U.S., the annual subscription plan — once $49.99, soon to be $59.99 — will remain far and way the most economical. The monthly plan will see a $2 bump ($9.99/month, or $120/year), while the three-month plan will jump $5 ($24.99/month, or $100/year).”
So basically if you go with the year subscription, it comes out to an extra $0.83 per month to play Reach and your other favorite games online (wait, there are other games?). Still not too bad of a deal for all the fun you get out of it! Click HERE to read the full article!

Matt from New York dropped us a line (and pic) to let us know that the new issue of EGM has been spotted and it has coverage of Reach, including the cover story. Be on the lookout when you hit your local news stand!
Forum member Mr.Sci-Fi gave us the heads up on this story from BusinessWeek.com:
“It’s been a while since customers lined up outside stores at midnight to buy a Microsoft (MSFT) product. That may change on Sept. 14, when Microsoft releases Halo: Reach, the fourth installment of its blockbuster Xbox video-game series.
Since the first release of Halo in 2001, the alien-invasion-themed game and its appurtenant books, toys, and apparel, have generated $2 billion in sales for Microsoft. That’s not including the Xbox consoles and online game subscriptions the games have helped sell. Microsoft expects Halo: Reach to generate more revenue than the series’ biggest seller so far, 2007’s Halo 3, which brought in sales of more than $600 million. Operating margins on the games hover around 60 percent, estimates Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter.
Halo’s value to Microsoft, which had $16 billion in revenue during the quarter ended June 30, is bigger than its numbers suggest. The Xbox is Microsoft’s attempt to stake out a spot in the living room—and Halo is only available on Xbox. “It’s the reason people own Xbox 360s instead of PlayStation 3’s,” says Wedbush’s Pachter. Says Bonnie Ross, general manager for Microsoft’s Halo business: “Halo is the most important entertainment franchise Microsoft has.” ”
Forum member (and Staff member) big_matt found the new issue of the Official XBox Magazine on the news stand, and it is dubbed “The Halo Issue!” There is ample coverage on Reach, including plenty of screenshots. Pick up a copy and check it out!
