Maybe Microsoft are feeling guilty about their recent price hikes for XBL membership. Maybe they're just wanting to give something back to the gaming community. Or maybe they're just excited about the release of Halo: Reach. Either way, Xbox 360 owners are in for a treat in September.

September 14-20
Invasion Week - plenty of Halo: Reach goodies available, from new gear, content, prizes, and a chance to play with the games creators

September 17-20
Hey, XBL Silver members. Too cheap to pay for Gold? Well fear not, tightwads, for Microsoft are opening all Gold features to Silver members between these two dates - for free!

And the weekly store updates are getting in on the action too!

Resident Evil 5 Avatar outfits and game add-ons are getting discounted, and if you've been wanting to buy Bust-A-Move Live, Puzzle Chronicles, Tower Bloxx Deluxe or Gyromancer but can't stomach the thought of paying full price, then the first three games will be going for half price - 800MP down to 400MP - whereas Gryomancer drops from 1200MP to 800MP.

Add on to all of that, Bully: Scholarship Edition is now on Games On Demand, September looks like an expensive month for 360 owners.
