some insight on this...

In Response To: Re: Matt, can you give us some insight on this? (vector40)

: I wonder if marketing for Bungie's games is up to them, or just gets tossed
: in the general muddle of Microsoft marketing.

Okay, time to shed some light, then it's back to Halo.

Bungie and MS-marketing have been going back and forth with the box design. We want to make sure it's up to Bungie's standards, even if it takes a few passes. What you see at IGN is the box design in it's current state. The rating, however, is final.
"Only on Xbox" is used much like movie studios use "Only in theaters." You know a movie is going to end up on DVD. Relax, Halo will make its way to a computer platform near you.
"Combat Evolved" is not a subtitle like "the fallen lords," it's more of a description for the imperceptive. Much like "Mechwarrior 2, 31st Century Combat". Nobody went around saying they played that game, "31st Century Combat".
'nuff said. Back to work.
