Unboxing All the Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Editions

The next Legendary is supposed to be truly limited this time around.

Halo: Reach will be Bungie's grand finale to the series, at least as far as it is concerned. As in classic Halo fashion, there will be several SKUs for Halo: Reach buyers to choose from. There's the regular edition, the limited edition, and the crazy expensive Legendary edition.

Bungie says that this time around, the Legendary version will be truly limited in supply (in my neck of the woods, Legendary editions of Halo 3 were clearing out at under $20 a few months ago).

Microsoft Licenses ARM CPU Technology

Microsoft may create its own ARM-based chip.

Microsoft may follow in Apple's footsteps by designing its own ARM-based chips. The company said Friday in an official announcement that it has signed a new agreement to license ARM's technology. Now there's speculation that a Windows Phone tablet could be on the way, or that the Redmond company may incorporate ARM into the next Xbox.

Microsoft did not provide additional details on the agreement, merely stating that it delivers "multiple operating systems on the company's architecture, most notably Windows Embedded and Windows Phone." The company added that direct access to the technology provides the ability to enhance its research and development around ARM-based products.
