In response to Xbox Live being shut down for the original Xbox on April 15th, Microsoft is giving those who subscribe to Xbox Live via the original Xbox a free three-month Live Gold membership, 400 Microsoft Points* and an invite to the Halo: Reach beta. Microsoft is mailing out codes soon via e-mail and/or Xbox Live account message.
*400 Microsoft Points valid for 365 days
I guess this is cool… but it is definitely a ploy to get the remaining Xbox gamers to buy a 360, but at least it is cool.
