Bungie teases:"When you read the words in this space next Friday, you'll be a mere twenty-four hours away from your first really good look at Halo: Reach.

If you don't have a Toys R Us near you don't fret, almost every store including Best Buy, Target and Wal Mart does price matching. If you can't get your hands on the ad here is a link to it and hopefully they will honor it. Resistance Retribution interacts with Resistance 2 to unlock some cool features.
