Equals to around $1250, credit to NevecLP for the find.

It's impossible to buy though :(

No, even if they did waste all their money on 9999 MS points, they'd need a special 25-character pre-paid token/code.. This is most likely for press only /thread.

It's for the press, who are given special codes to download it. The price is to stop people downloading it who shouldn't be. :)

Why isn't there any warning, message or heck even notice that it doesn't work for regular people? Seems to be M$ is pushing it see who gets suckered for $1250.

You cannot physically download it without a code from Microsoft. The price is simply to tell you 'yes... this is not for you... move along' to stop people freaking out that Halo Reach is on the marketplace. It doesn't even show up on the console unless you go and search it out.

Never knew that. Maybe one of the people reviewing the game will buy it early instead of waiting until Sept 14.

Makes sense. The game went gold the other week, there's less than a month until release, and prior Halo games have had some really early reviews.

Nobody has 99999 MSP just sitting in their wallet. If someone did, I would imagine they were very wealthy and could probably just get a copy from Microsoft/Bungie for a large fee.

It's for reviewers... They did the same thing with Crackdown 2. Instead of the critics waiting for their copies to be shipped to them, they can simply download it. And since there's so much to this game, a month of play time will be good for the critics

The world is filled with stupid people. I can see a total gaming geek right now drooling with excitment after purchasing 99999 points from the marketplace. "My Live friendszz will beez soo jealousszz ehhhzz!!"

I was playing Halo over at a friends and he said that he heard from his stepbrother who read something in a comment on the interweb that the 25 digit passcode would be revealed if you played all three halos consecutiy on legendary only usng melee attacks. Oh and you can't die either. It reminded me of the old shen long street fighter 2 challenge, but equally as plausible.
