After Halo® 3 hits the streets on September 25, Best Buy is sponsoring the Xbox LIVE® Gold service and making it free for everyone for the next three days. Think of it as Halo Free Days! From September 25 through September 27, try ALL the Halo 3 features free—online co-op, multiplayer, Forge editing, viewing networked Saved Films, and using the File Share system.


Thanks to Best Buy, during those first three days, all you need is an Xbox 360 console, a broadband connection, and a copy of Halo 3. You'll have access to the Xbox LIVE Gold online features for any game, not just Halo 3.

As is that weren't enough for the biggest game of the year, Best Buy is also sponsoring a huge Play & Win event during the Halo 3 Free Gold Days. Over a million Microsoft Points will be given away, as well as a Grand Prize of a Pontiac G6 GXP Street Edition.
