Of course, I have pre-ordered the ltd edition one from play.com. Some of my friends who played the beta said its too similiar to halo 2 but its good. I chat occassionaly with the editor of retro gamer who is luckily enough to get 95% of his games sent to his office free and a little earlier than the rest of us so I will be sure to harass him nearer the release date for some views on it. Not that they will stop from buying it i guess. Let me know your gamertag and maybe we can play some games. mine is dogfacedboyuk2 and dogfacedboyuk1 for my gold account (long story) although i should have a gold account on my uk2 by the time halo2 comes out.

awesome well if you havent seen them already here are 2 awesome new videos for halo 3, the first one was shown at E3 earlier this year showing lots of new stuff and how epic this game is gonna be, the second one was also shown at E3 and is rumoured to be a trailer for the halo movie WHICH IS BACK IN PRODUCTION due to a new director (peter jackson threw a hissy fit and quit ) its mainly CG but it looks spectacular! Enjoy! E3 2007 Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=RDhiSx0bqKUE3 'Arms race' trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=g4rDDxOxSM0

cool vids. Glad to hear the movie is back on. I must say that even if the gameplay is very similiar to Halo 2 as my mate said (and I respect his opinion as being in the industry he is a complete gameshead) its no bad thing, i never felt there was much to fix really anyway, it was always more a case of "there's a lot more you can add to this already awesome game". So I look forward to it but I'm not expecting any overhyped great revelation from it. It'll be good and maybe if we're lucky it'll be great.
Out of interest, how easy or difficult was it to get online and play? I never bothered with it - despite being a great Halo fan I thought it was a cheap ploy to buy an average game. I suspect many people who weren't remotely interested in crackdown bought it because of the beta though.

Not likely to be out for the ol' pre 360 XboX, is it? Nah... would you believe i'm still bangin' away at it! 1st, had to replace the telly, then the amp went on our Linn system, over £1k to fix, then the pc came down with viruses, new hard drive and motherboard and now, if she can wait for her 'designer feckin' dinner set' i'l be buying a 360,,, or should i wait for some other uber but unmentioned new release, you seem to be the man in the know DFB! (except about assassinating people )

Jnr, I'm afraid Halo 3 is for the 360 and not likely to appear on the old boy I'm afraid. Your old xbox will soon be needing to take a trip to that inevitable doom of us all - the retirement home, where it can sit with other xboxes and talk about the good ol' days of Halo 1 and Knights of the Old republic and PGR2 endlessly until they fall asleep on the shelf. I will be lovingly nursing mine until its dying day though as I still have games to finish and the 360 hasn't quite got 100% backwards compatabilty yet.
If you have money to burn you could hold on for the 360 Elite console which will be released soonish and comes with a rather large 120GB hard drive and a HDMI port. Produced in a rather fetching Ninja Black colour. Not sure how much it will be out in the far reaches of the cold northern chaos wastes though! You'll have to decide whether these limited benefits are worth the difference in price between the premium 360 though. And I think the 120GB hard drive is coming out seperately eventually. So maybe go with a premium 360 and upgrade the hard drive later if you like to store a lot of music and demos and arcade live games (of which I have about 25 now!!!) at a later date. Bear in mind the hard drive on the 360 still only leaves you 11GB the rest is reserved for system use - although considering it has this 9gb to play with it seems to be accessing the game discs more than I'd like.
Maybe you could use some scare tactics on the mrs - volunteer to wash up a lot and just keep dropping those plates. She may give you an earful but it will make her think twice about buying an expensive dinner set which (lets face it) is far less useful than a lovely shiny, new games console sitting alongside all that expensive audio visual set up you have.!!

i sold my old xbox the day i brought a 360 luckily i kept the games and an expensive dinner set is so much less enjoyable than a nice 360 on my friends 50 inch hdtv but with my 360 unlucky for him he doesnt have a 360 i h8 him sooo much now i have to play on a crappy 25 inch non hdtv oh well. 360s are so cool and fun on pgr3 or lost planet, the main reason i bought 1 is for online play and for halo 3 as my cousin and i spend about 12 hours on call of duty 3 shooting eachother to bits anyhow anybody who wants to add me onto friends list in always up for a laugh my gamertags on my other post (look up)

I dont know if anyone heard of the bungie's 'viral campaigning' (leaving clues buried in websites, usually clues about the games and their origins) but there is some pretty deep stuff floating around on the bungie.net forums, i took a quick look at it and bungie have been really sneaky this time.
