This price drop puts the PS4 at a perminant price match with the temporary sale price of 500GB Xbox One console (Kinect Free).

We are weeks away from the launch of Halo 5: Guardians on the Xbox One and to celebrate the release of the game, Microsoft and 343 Industries have released the first two episodes of the third season of their Making of Halo 5 web series, The Sprint.  I’ve always liked this series since I’m facinated by the stories behind a game’s development. This season of The Sprint details the game’s race to launch and you can watch the first two episodes of the season below.

The first episode, titled “Composer” details the development and production of Halo 5’s musical score.  Keep your ears open for an early listen of the game’s soundtrack.

The second episode is dubbed “Press Start” and details what went into creating the game’s opening cinematic.

Halo 5: Guardians is coming October 27th, 2015 exclusively for Xbox One.

How to Swap a Digital Code From Halo 5: Guardians Limited Collector’s Edition for a Physical Disc October 5, 2015

A lot of customers online were very upset with Microsoft when they announced that the Limited Collector’s Edition of Halo 5: Guardians would only include a digital code for the game, and would not offer a copy of the game on a physical disc.  Microsoft has heard those concerns and promised they would offer a disc exchange for any player who would prefer a disc copy, but they didn’t tell players how to obtain a disc copy for their game until now.

First off, once you get your game code DON’T REDEEM IT!  Here are the official instructions on how to get your code exchanged for a disc version of the game.

Once you get your code, get it exchanged as soon as possible. Microsoft is only offering this exchange from Oct 20-Nov 1st. Since the game doesn’t officially launch until Oct 27th, time is not on your side.

UPDATE: While Halo 5: Guardians does officially launch on Oct 27th, Microsoft is allowing retailers to release the Limited Collector’s Edition of the game one week early, on October 20th, the same day that Microsoft is going to start offering the disc exchange. So, update your calendars, guys.

Halo 5: Guardians is coming October 27th, 2015 exclusively on Xbox One.

The Sprint Season 3 Announced September 29, 2015

Microsoft and 343 Industries have just announced a third season of The Sprint, an ongoing digital series detailing the development of Halo 5: Guardians, is on its way in October. Here’s the official trailer.

I have to admit the first two seasons of The Sprint have been a great watch and a very worthy reason to give the Halo Channel a download.  Previous seasons have detailed certain key milestones in the development of the game. For example, the first season detailed the launch of Halo 5‘s multiplayer beta test, and the second season focused on the preparations for the game’s E3 2015 showing.  Season 3 will focus on the rush to launch.

The Sprint season 3 is coming in October. You’ll be able to watch it on the Halo Channel app for Xbox One, Smartphones and Windows 8/10.

Halo 5: Guardians TV Spot September 28, 2015

We are exactly a month away from the release of Halo 5: Guardians on the Xbox One and to promote the upcoming launch of the gam, Microsoft released a live-action TV spot which aired tonight during an NFL game.

If you’re like me and have no interest in physical sports whatsoever you probably missed it. Don’t worry, we got you covered, you can watch the commercial below. Just be aware there may be a small spoiler. If you’re uncomfortable with that, you might want to wait until the game is released before you watch it. If not, go ahead and give it a watch.  It is extremely well made and has great production values. I just question why Microsoft would choose to air it during an event that their fans probably have no interest in.

Halo 5 Guardians will release October 27th, 2015 exclusively on Xbox One.
