Lest you’ve no idea what Bungie Day is, that’s Monday, July 7 (7/7, get it?). Yes, starting on July 7, Halo 3’s newest map Cold Storage will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace totally free. Not only that, but Microsoft will also be lowering the price of the Legendary Map Pack from 800 Microsoft Points to 600 Microsoft Points. The best part of all is that these prices will become the permanent prices of the content. In other words, Cold Storage and the Legendary Map Pack price drop aren’t part of the limited time, one day only Bungie Day goodies that will be on Marketplace. Joy!

In celebration of Bungie Day and the release of Cold Storage, a special 48-hour free for all playlist is going up. Specific details are sparse, but Bungie’s Luke Smith promises that players will be able to control “Rockets, Invis and Snipe.” Mmmm … sounds nice and spammy. Finally, “one last thing” about Cold Storage is set to drop some time this day on Bungie.net. Keep your eyes glued to X3F for whatever that might be.
