Wow, who was expecting this? Microsoft has decided to make the classic Halo 2 cartoons available for purchase on Xbox Live Marketplace. Currently, you can get the first 5 episodes for 80 Xbox Live points (about $1 USD) each. There are no combo deals as of yet. As more episodes come to Xbox Live Marketplace, we may start to see combo deals, allowing you to get a bulk quantity of Red vs. Blue for a discount price.

However, Microsoft may have a bit of competition from the actual author of Red vs. Blue. $20 will get you an entire season on DVD.

They're the high-res episodes... but you get access to all the high-res episodes on their site for a mere $10 per year :toast:

I had a feeling this was coming. If you check out some of the Achievement names in Gears of War, they're obvious references to the series. For instance, killing 100 people in ranked match by sticking in the head with a grenade is called "Is it a spider?"

on a related note, any Red vs Blue fans in Austin Texas this month will surely have to make a trip to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema downtown for Red Vs Blue with the creators attending in person :toast:
