Halo 3 - now coming to Xbox One. MC Collection.

[MalevolentPanda]

I'm being slightly unnerved by the fact that Uzion is posting so much. Shouldn't you be more bothered about playing the thing?

[Mortis]

Well I'm just back from the East Kilbride Argos where i had a reservation number but was told at the till they had cancelled all the reservations as they weren't meant to sell it till wednesday but nobody had told them this.

Gah!

I'm the type of guy who loves to savour something new in little bits, tell others about it and then get stuck into it. Im just weird.

I cannot imagine this with four people in co-op. Will be awesome.

I played Halo recently and was still amazed at how great the opening is...

The opening on the ship? Wow, I thought that was a terrible way to start - as far as I'm concerned, the opening of Halo 1 is when you first crash-land on the Halo - which was just totally lush...

[Meh]

It's shocking - there's still no yarr version.

[JoeK]

I'm not so suprised. I do the same thing. I'll get a game, give it a quick whirl to see if I approve, and then usually leave it for a while until I make sure I have some quality time (i.e. When I've got nothing better to do), and then settle down for a session). I need to be in a certain kind of zone when I play games these days...

One on ebay:

Anyone here tempted to put theirs on ebay? Surely makes sense to make a nice tidy profit while you can.

[SeanR]

I'd like to see them prove that I knew what the release date was.

Well, apart from dragging up this thread of course.

And Uzion, if I could get home, I certainly wouldn't be on here. God, I hate work.

I've emailed microsoft...

[mr_rmg]

It's shocking - there's still no yarr version.

mate, its being upped to usenet and is already on sky.

[spacedinvader]

It's shocking - there's still no yarr version.

There are a couple of new versions being uploaded onto alt.binaries.games.xbox360 at the moment.

[mr_rmg]

there is no way that M$ will ban accounts for playing retail early. you might get a suspension till street date tho. (although that will cause a stink)

[SeanR]

Actually I reckon MS could do it, claiming that "anyone playing it before the release date MUST be a filthy pirate, with a h4x0rr3d box, so we banned them"

Maybe?

[Daley]

Damn, the urge to buy a 360 is back. I haven't felt this tempted since launch.

[MalevolentPanda]

Does online play work? They could easily block matchmaking at least until launch day, couldn't they?

Christ...For the sake of a few days people are willing to fork out more than double.

I hope the lasers on their 360s destroy it

[Silence]

Matchmaking won't work. Private games I'm not so sure.

Can anyone say banned until 9999?

[saikokitten]

A lot more than double, I've seen two copies sell for £150 each on Ebay.co.uk today. Mental.

[MalevolentPanda]

Good, I hope matchmaking stays blocked until 25/26th.

Jesus, the inital report was retarded, and another site is stupid enough to pick that one up and report it as news? Idiots.

[Uzi]

I'm kinda broke at the moment, tempted to sell it if it makes double...

But I wanna keep it. Stupid ebay

[Eighthours]

Yep. Twats.

More than double? That will probably go for £200+.

[JoeK]

More than double? That will probably go for £200+.

In that case, I hope their 360s blow up, taking their houses down too...

[Stroker Ace]

I have the achievements listed on my 360 while I'm playing.

Also so far, MUCH better than the start of Halo 2. MUCH

Wait until you hit level seven.

Some people really are very stupid indeed.

[Stroker Ace]

I'd be very surprised if anyone got banned for playing a game they legally purchased early. Astonished, in fact. It would be a PR and legal catastrophe.

[SeanR]

it's all kicking off over on the xbox.com forums...

[sofasurfer]

Oooh...Looks like I'm getting the Legendary edition then

Thank you for your order ******* for Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

This latest installment of the hugely successful Halo series is due to be with

you on Wednesday the 26th September. To make sure that we get this title to

everyone who ordered it for release day we have had to start our picking and

packing process a little earlier than we would for our normal pre-orders. As a

result, we may look to authorise your credit/debit card from today.

In the meantime, prepare yourself for the epic conflict between the Covenant,

the Flood, and the entire human race as the saga reaches its dramatic,

pulse-pounding climax!

Kind regards

The Gameplay Team

[Lerschumbo]

Almost four hundred pages before first people start to play the game? Isn't that a first or something?

there's absoloutely no way they could do that. Extremely enthusiastic hardcore gamers that MS love so much, find a shop and legitimately buy it before the date. They haven't done anything wrong.
