Halo: Reach Co-Op Campaign Off Limits To 4GB Slim Players

If you've been looking forward to playing Halo: Reach's co-op campaign and either yourself or your potential co-op buddies are spendthrifts, you may be out of luck. Microsoft says that players who have purchased the 4GB Slim version of the Xbox 360 don't have the required hard-drive space to enjoy the game cooperatively through Xbox Live or system link.

Bungie's Halo 3: ODST experienced similar limitations, but Microsoft has told Eurogamer that it's trying to work out the issue this time around. Until such a fix is released, however, those owners have one of two choices: be patient and go it alone, or purchase the 250GB hard drive accessory for a cool $130. Ouch. (Running over the whole package with a steamroller is a tempting third option, but the logistics required put it out of reach for most players.)
