Halo 3 is the third game in the Halo Trilogy and the thrilling conclusion to the events begun in Halo: Combat Evolved. Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax. The Covenant occupation of Earth has uncovered a massive and ancient object beneath the African sands - an object whose secrets have yet to be revealed. Earth’s forces are battered and beaten. The Master Chief’s AI companion Cortana is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind - a horrifying Flood intelligence, and a civil war is raging in the heart of the Covenant. It’s all been building to this — a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions.

With features like intelligent matchmaking, leagues, ladders and tournaments, you’ll havean incredible online gaming experience. Best of all, you can renew at your pace, without charges to your credit card.

I recently purchased this product. It’s great deal since you get a year and a month for this price, but Amazon forgot to activate my card. After calling both amazon and xbox customer service, I finally got it working. The xbox rep said it was not a good idea to buy prepaid cards online. It’s quite annoying to read the 25 letter/number subscription code over the phone. For letters, you have to say the letter and a word that starts with that letter. For example, “R as in ready.” To say it was annoying would be an understatement. You do save about 6 or 7 bucks ordering online which is the only reason it was worth all this trouble.
