That's mostly Halo 4, right? Microsoft has a few very limited 10th anniversary Xbox 360 systems to give away to fans. Simply add a special gamerpic to your profile to enter. Xbox Live Rewards members will get a second chance to enter later. Everyone wins with a free copy of Wreckateer, available today and tomorrow only. Many more titles have been discounted to half off.
