If you're planning on watching the upcoming presidential debates, why not on Xbox Live? Everyone will be showing the same footage anyway, right? Also, how often do I get to add the tags Barack Obama and Halo 4 to a news story?

Xbox Live Rewards members who watch at least three of the upcoming debates on their Xbox 360s will get the Halo 4 Warrior Avatar outfit seen above for free. All of the debates begin 9 PM Eastern on the following dates:

October 3 - Presidential Debate on Foreign Policy
October 11 - Vice-Presidential Debate
October 16 - Presidential Debate on Domestic Policy
October 22 - Presidential Debate

Don't forget to register to vote!

Was planning on watching it anyways so may as well get a free Spartan IV Mjolnir armor set out of it.
by Swift xCrazed Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:29 PM

Didn't really feel like watching it, but now I have something to make me want to.
by Companion Cube Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:35 PM

Hm... Pointless avatar award, or not having to watch MSNBC on my Xbox. Hard decision...

Obama avatar and im in

Awesome.
by KillerAura Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:38 PM

cant you just put it on then turn of your tv and read a book till its over?
by Taylor Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:40 PM

Definitely wont mind doing this. Would be cooler if we got a Obama head though.
by Warrior Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:41 PM

Sure.... Okay...

But every time you cheer for Romney, you lose 47% of your Gamerscore.

I'll put it on, but I'm not watching it. I'll spend some time with the Wii while I'm waiting. I'm not wasting what little game time I have these days to watch this.
by Steve the Random Comment Guy Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:50 PM

I use Men's Degree Dry Protection deodorant.
by Gotham's Reckoning Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:51 PM

My Bane Avatar doesn't need that, otherwise, I would have to watch those debates.
by YungDaVinci Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 03:57 PM

Politics + Gaming = EPIC FACEPALM. What ever happened to purely video games?
by Followdatboid Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 04:16 PM

I don't want to watch the election coverage at all, and a worthless avatar award isn't going to change my mind either. Want me to watch Xbox? Give me a free MONTH of live, I think that would be a fair trade for having to suffer through any debates.
by ClassicZach Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 04:23 PM

deal works outside U.S???
by Zero Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 04:24 PM

That isn't anywhere near enough reward for suffering through such garbage.

I mean, bless you if you haven't had enough of watching 50 attack ads back to back every hour.
by Stonecutters908 Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 04:27 PM

Already voted. Don't care about the debates. I will be playing Halo 4 all day on November 6. Will look at election results for 30 seconds. Will continue playing Halo 4 until the wee hours of the morning.
by The Car Geek Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 04:34 PM

I'll probably be one of the few who actually watch it. I'm sure a lot of people just plan to let it play on the Xbox without watching it.
by Tim Gruver Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 04:37 PM

Don't play on X-Box and care even less about old Obamney debating each other to death for an hour plus. No reason to watch more of Obama skunk Mitt. Would certainly watch for free if Ron Paul or Gary Johnson was in it. Just saying.
by EricJBaron Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 04:42 PM

Maybe I'll tune in just to see how two people who have the same stance on 90% of the issues can debate.
