GET THEM ALL!!!! Just kidding ^^^^^but ^^^^^not ^^^^^really
If you are interested in the story I would recommend getting Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary first in order to get an idea of what Halo is about. It is basically the first Halo game, Halo: Combat Evolved, but remastered for the Xbox 360 on its 10 year anniversary. It has the entire first game's campaign and a multiplayer portion using the engine from Halo: Reach (we'll get to that in a moment).
If you are still interested in the story, go for Halo 2 next. It is for the original Xbox, but is also compatible with the 360 so you can play the campaign. It no longer has online multiplayer, though, so it is only good for local custom games and the campaign.
If you purchased Halo 2 you are probably interested enough in the Halo universe to continue the Master Chief's story. The next game will be Halo 3. Halo 3 is a great game and still has online multiplayer, though it is fairly sparse right now.
Note: Halo 3 will become available for free download on July 1st if you have Xbox Live Gold.
Halo 4 is the next game in line that follows the story of the Master Chief, however, there are two other games that were released between them.
Halo 3:ODST is one of these two games. It takes place during the events of Halo 2, but you play as a normal soldier rather than the Master Chief who is a Spartan. Spartans are basically supersoldiers. Normal humans who were augmented to be faster, stronger, and smarter than normal people. It is a fun game and comes with the Halo 3: ODST campaign and a second disc that contains all the multiplayer maps for Halo 3 which allows you to play Halo 3 online.
The other game is Reach. In Halo: Reach you play as a Spartan supersoldier, but not the Master Chief. This game takes places chronologically before the first Halo game, Halo: CE, but was released in 2010. It still has a decent multiplayer population, but I am not sure if is more than Halo 4.
The final game is Halo 4, the newest in the series. It follows the story of the Master Chief after Halo 3, and I believe it has the most populated multiplayer as of right now. Though, the numbers are still fairly low compared to other shooter games out there. This will be the game you will want if you are only interested in online play.

Too Long Didn't Read
If you are interested in campaign and storyline go for:
^ Play these any time you want after Halo 3.
If you are only interested in playing online multiplayer go for:
I would recommend Halo 4 over Reach, hopefully someone will be better informed on multiplayer populations than I am.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! :D

By the way, FFVI is a GBA game. The GBA is obsolete, and thus it's games have low demand, so it makes sense that GS would be trying to get rid of it (by lowering the price). So maybe you'll find an actual deal at a GameStop every once in a while. Maybe. That doesn't change the fact that GameStop's fundamental business model is almost entirely based on ripping off an uninformed consumer base. Virtually every used game you buy there will be marked up higher than it's worth, and virtually every used game you sell there will be pennies compared to what you could get selling it online.
If you're ok with that, and want to pay some ten or twenty dollars extra for a used game, more power to you. However, most of us prefer not to throw away our money, so it's good to be aware that GameStop will scam the pants off of you if you trade used games with them. That's where this video comes in, and why it's so useful.
Oh and by the way. FFVI for the GBA costs $22.99 at Gamestop, and $19.99 from an online trader. Shop smart.
I liked the two original Xbox games a lot, so I'd say start with Halo 3. It continues that story. or if money is no object, start at the beginning with Halo CE, which recently got an anniversary release for Xbox 360.
Not counting the RTS game Halo Wars, chronologically, Halo Reach (the most recently released new Halo game) is the beginning. I thought it was a great game, I played it quite a bit, including the multiplayer, which I imagine is still alive and well. It's worth playing, and stands pretty well by itself, since it is before the Master Chief trilogy.
Yeah...it's sure full price right now...

Is it cracked from the center of the ring, or outside? If you keep your discs stored in the game case, it's the frequent pressure when you pull it from that knob that holds the disc in - without pressing it in it tends to weaken the plastic until it cracks. Happened to my first Reach disc too.
You can get Reach used on Amazon for $20.00: http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Reach-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA20M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343411038&sr=8-1&keywords=halo+reach
Should have had them price match it with Amazon. I assume you didn't want to wait for shipping from eBay
