The official launch of Halo Reach is mere hours away - but the price war has already begun.
Supermarket chains Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's have kicked off a fierce pricing war by not only offering the game at rock bottom prices - but also advertising heavily in UK national newspapers this morning.
Sainsbury's has the stand-alone copy of Halo Reach for £34.99.
Meanwhile, Tesco is offering Reach for £37.70. However, as we reported last night, you can pick up the game for £28 when bought with an Xbox Live 2100 Points Card, which is priced at £16.71 (RRP £17.50).
Asda is selling Reach for £37.47, with an exclusive Halo Reach hoodie available for £9 when purchased with the game.

Interesting price reduction but not that big leap down if i'm honest
What with MW2 getting Day 1 release in Sainsburys at £26, Kane And Lynch 2 getting down to £22.99 by week 2 in supermarkets...what are the chances Halo may do the same as K&L2. If not, wheres the HUGE price gap like MW2. While it's nice to see it going cheaper...in respect its still not that cheap!

What did you expect? It's not a multiplatform title. It was never expected to get the huge undercut that MW2 got and I have been saying that all weekend
The asda near me always used to release games really cheap for the first 2 or 3 days, but I'm not so sure they do it anymore. I'm also not sure if it was just the asda's near me!
