Now this is change I can believe in.

Electronic Arts is hacking and slashing (to bits and pieces), the price of this summer’s mega-popular Xbox Live Arcade shooter, Battlefield 1943.

Beginning Dec. 31 for the freakishly low price of 600 MS Points, you can partake in all the beach-storming, tank-driving, and rifle-sniping action your brain can handle.

The 600 MS Points price point is a 50% percent reduction (was 1200) and makes this deal so hot, I want to buy a second copy.

Sorry PS3 enthusiasts, the savings are part of Microsoft’s Holiday Savings Event, thus still demanding full price from you guys.

We loved it, and in case you missed our review, score some knowledge right here and catch Marc and I on Xbox Live tomorrow as we pounce on the troves of fresh meat.
