Here, have some leaked HALO 3 video
I know this isn’t the kind of thing I normally post, but, wow.
Thank you xbox-scene! Now, don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of the products that M$ puts out, and overall I think the 360 is a good value, however they royally screw you on some of the peripherals, $50 for a 64 megabyte memory card anyone? Anyways, the wireless adapter for the xbox 360 which is required to connect the 360 to a wireless network is a whopping $100. Madness! I don’t know about you, but I find that to be a somewhat exorbitant cost to charge for such a thing. Luckily for the tech-savvy xbox-scene has linked to an article detailing how you can use a second wireless router in lieu of purchasing the ripoff pricey adapter. Hit the link for the full story.
Mother of Pearl, it’s almost here. Will Bungie reveal the glory of HALO 3 unto us? Will the Revolution be awesome and cost $150? Will there be an actual working PS3? No one who knows is telling. We’ll just have to gaze at this vague schematic and wonder.
E³ 2006
The big kahuna, the 800lb gorilla, the game to end all games, and it might **might** be released this year. On next-gen.biz, an interview with Shane Kim (microsoft game studios general manager) reveals that:
“Shane Kim: I call it The Mythical Halo 3 - we haven’t announced any such game yet! Obviously the Halo franchise is very important to us. When you have Bill Gates being quoted fairly constantly, talking about a game, you know it’s important to the company. But his recent comments reflect the position accurately. Which is that, if there were a Halo 3 we would be careful about how we announce and introduce it. It’s exactly the same way we talked about Halo 2, where people wanted it a year after Halo. That would not have accomplished anything.
Next-Gen.biz: Is it coming out this year?
Shane Kim: It depends. If it’s the game that everyone is expecting then, yes. For us it’s about making a proper impact on the platform. It has to be something with huge significance, so we won’t be rushed. We don’t want all the hype and speculation to overshadow some of the great titles that do have coming this holiday and thereafter. Gears of War has an incredible level of anticipation. I think it has more anticipation than Halo did before Halo came out. If you remember the E3 before the launch [of Xbox] a lot of people were not sure that Halo would be so great. We learned a lot of lessons at that E3. We chose not to show a lot of titles at this past E3. For people in the industry, their first assessment of a title is based on the visual impact.”
So there you have it. Don’t expect the Halo 3 shadow to fall over Mass Effect or Gears of War, but it’s out there somewhere, and it’s most definitely coming to get you.

This guy is not selling the needler itself, only a few of the crystals he used to make the needle rounds themselves. Reguardless, this is cool.

Xbox 360 sells out
Great for Microsoft, but here’s the thing about this story that makes me crazy, I’m still slugging along at barely 2 Mbps! The Koreans are rocking 100 Mbps!? I can almost taste the lag-free Halo 2 goodness I could enjoy on a connection that fast. This is America! Why aren’t we (Americans) thrilling to massively fast broadband? My vote is that the cable companies and the telcos are screwing us somehow.
