Those who preordered Halo: Reach from GameStop got a code for a nifty suit of armor. This code was, technically, free. Some guy's been selling them on eBay, for close to and even more than the game's retail price.
"eople want what they can't have," the seller, who has auctioned off codes before, told Hot Blooded Gaming.
The $66 auction attracted 41 bids; another one netted $57 on 22 bids. In all, he's sold 11 codes for the Halo: Reach "Mark V Mjolnir UA/Multi-Threat Configuration." He also sold codes for Mafia II's "War Hero" and "Vegas" pre-order bonuses, which also came from GameStop. We've all seen the stacks of cards these come on. Something suggests he may have gotten a fistful of extras.

Halo: Reach - Oni Sword Base Easter Egg "Reach Racer"
SCREEN TIME: Billboard's analytics manager (and avid gamer) Mike Kelly notices that the soundtrack to the science fiction video game "Halo: Reach" debuts on the Billboard 200 at No. 157, marking the franchise's best ranking on the chart.
"Halo 2" peaked at No. 162 in 2004, "Halo 3" spent a week at No. 200 in 2007 and "Halo 3: ODST" logged a frame at No. 179 last year.
The new set, which charts on the strength of digital sales prior to its release in physical form Tuesday (Sept. 28), becomes the first "Halo" companion album to reach the top 10 on the Soundtracks chart, where it begins at No. 8.
It wouldn't be a big surprise if Halo: Reach was the No. 1 title on Xbox Live during its launch week. It's a big ass game after all. But that was not the case, as some corrected numbers show.
Yesterday, Xbox Live community guru Larry Hryb - Major Nelson to most folks - published the weekly list of the 20 most popular titles (according to unique users) on Xbox Live, showing Halo: Reach at No. 1. Today, the Major discovered he'd made a maths goof and corrected the list: Modern Warfare 2 was in fact the most popular game during Reach's launch.
Hyrb notes that Halo: Reach, which released on Sept. 14, was available only six of the week's seven days. However, Halo 3 was in third place.
(I note that eight of the top 20 are either sports titles or demos, including the FIFA 11 demo at No. 5 and, notably, the Pro Evolution Soccer Demo at No. 19.)
For its part, Bungie posted its own set of numbers this afternoon - showing more than 70 million games have been played, 20 million daily challenges have been completed, and 5,901 years have been spent in online games. And, "our sources tell us that we've been the number one title on Xbox Live for the last seven days."
