Err, no. Halo is going to be availible for XBox, PC and Mac.
If it was XBox only Jason Jones et al. would be hunted down like dogs.
The ads say XBox only because Microsoft wants you to buy one.
Of course, if you're going to get it for your desktop it better be pretty beefy.
This is part of the reason I bought my G4, the more immediate one being Oni.
