Halo 3, Mass Effect, and Project Gotham Racing 4 are each now available for GBP 19.99 (US$ 28) in the EMEA region. Nothing really more to this news except to say “yay piggybank.” But since Microsoft went to the trouble of making a detailed press release, I might as well share what they had to say. Here’s David Gosen, VP of Marketing for Europe:

We are delighted to add three of our finest titles to the Classics range, adding to the exceptional entertainment offering available on the Xbox 360 at outstanding prices.

As we see more and more families looking to save money by staying in, Xbox 360 continues to offer high-quality home entertainment at fantastic value and consumers are clearly recognising this as we sail past 8 million console sales in Europe.

Ta-da!
