Help an old gamer out...... please! :D

Hey guys,
So with the recent launch of Halo:Reach I find myself in something of a pickle. Upon watching the various live action trailers and reading the reviews I decided not to get it until all the hype dies down a bit. The only problem is that now I have an unquenchable craving to play the original Halo: Combat Evolved. Basically I'm looking for a Halo: Combat evolved CD key for the pc, and I understand that this is a longshot but I figured it couldnt hurt to ask here to see if anybody might have an old one lying around that they dont play. Or if anybody would have any idea where i would be able to get my hands on a copy of the pc version easily, i would really appreciate any info you guys could offer.
Cheers.

Cheers for the response chin_grin, i was looking into getting it online but im gonna leave that as a last resort. Would game shops still even stock a game this old?

Some might, emphasis on might. But I'd ring a chain (Game/Gamestop) first just to save you a trip.

Why not download it straight to your xbox?

Personally, I think the hype is justified. I wouldn't bother waiting.

Robbing gits on that link, charging the best part of €40 for it!

OP, I'm pretty sure I saw it for sale in Game, in the budget pc game section (that's Game in Mahon Point, Cork). Don't ask me how long ago or how much it was, though. Having said that, from one old gamer to another, I won't hold off on playing Reach.

I havent played it yet (still waiting on delivery) but I havent seen a bad or even a mediocre review from a reputable source yet. It's doing extremely well critically.

Thing about Halo: Reach is that if you don't have access to the internet (on your PS3 or xbox360) then you are pretty much missing out on the best part of the game - that is what most reviews I've read/heard/seen seem to give across. A 10 minute review might feature 3 minutes about offline play and rant on and on about online.

You could say the same about Halo 3 and that wasn't exactly the 10/10 game it was heralded to be... It (3) is sitting at an average score of 94 on Metacritic at the moment
