Halo 3 freebies for Live Goldies

Microsoft has whispered that it will be rewarding Live Gold members with free Halo 3 goodies.

All you have to do to get your freebies is click on the "Unite to Fight" advert in the Dashboard area.

Halo 3 launches across Europe tomorrow, with lots of eager retailers opening at midnight tonight to flog copies of the game.
