I stood in line with Wess last night to pick up Halo3. I don't own an xbox but figured I'd be there to support my bro. Glad I brought the camera though, captured a little bite of the ridiculousness.

I hope you can get it in the UK as a Digital Download (when it comes out) so i dont have to face madness

Also, Why did that guy jump through a window?

I think it's silly, the way people go about the release of new stuff. But to each their own of course.

The guy rushed out and into the car because he found himself surrounded by a lot of gamer geeks who were aching to get their hands on his recently acquired game. He must've felt threatened. And seriously, who wouldn't? :)

That is what the pranksters at MIT got up to LOL. Found it on digg.

Was that photoshopped or actually put up in place of the statue? Either way, pretty cool.

geeze, I preordered mine and just waited until the next morning to pick it up... no line.

btw: for all those who have not played.... Halo 3 is AwEsOmE.

I pre-ordered it, got it around 4 PM and loved it ever sense.  I highly recommend the game.  I haven't played too much of the campaign yet (only the first level), but the multi player alone is worth it.  The gameplay is amazing!!

Wess got it and I've spent a few hours watching him play. It looks beautiful and I've got to say the AI's creativity in fighting is some of the best I've seen. There are a ton of little things that will make you laugh. On top of that its absolutely gorgeous in HD.

Oh and and flood are nasty little creepy things that remind me of the headcrabs in HL.

I've heard tons of people saying it was a great game...

My little brother got it the first day and already beat it.  He said it was the best of the three so far...  Do you guys agree?

I don't think it matches the first one. In the way of innovation of course.

Not to flame but I don't think the first one was all that innovative. Then again I'm a bit bias coming from the PC platform. We've had Halo killers for years before the xbox was even conceived. I will however give it credit for bringing the FPS genre to the unwashed masses. I'll even go as far as to say Halo was the Goldeneye of the myspace generation.

Nice of him to give you a controller and let you play.  :-P

I can't play FPS on console, but I like to watch all the pretty graphics.

I think I'll buy it if they release it on PC. I just can't justify buying a 360 that will sit around as much as our Wii does.

Good luck waiting two and a half years (thats what happened with Halo 2, plus you had to downgrade to Vista to play it).

Completely agree. PC has always beena  step ahead, Halo kinda evened the playing field after the GE craze ended.

I don't want it to sound like I hate FPS on console, because I don't. In fact, the console has something over the PC when it comes to the FPS genre. It's the party factor and barrier to entry. If I wanted to have a 4 player fragfest in my dorm doom I'd need 4 beefy computers on a LAN, where as with console it's a simple likely under $500 for the hardware, controllers, and game. Throw that on a TV, grab some beer, and pile on the couch.

PC just can't touch that. Then again with a PC you can double jump off a lift with a flack cannon and get 3 kills doing a 360 before you even land on the mega damage....

...just sayin'

Ive ALWAYS, ALWAYS been with the console for two resones. like darren said, you don't have to spend so much money to play with others, and you don't have to upgrade every time a new generation of games come out. I remember when 1 ghz 1 moniter was "THE THING" now every one has 8 cores, GHZ up the butt and 22 moniters.

i bought an Xbox 360 about a week after the launch - had to sell the old pc for it (got the normal console 20gb - no elite or core crap), and i got halo3 and i must say, everyone got hyped up for jack shit, it was nothing that it was supposed to be, the story was short, the multiplay was good but nothing new from halo2, forge was good but no matchmaking for it(no online play). the graphics arnt even HD (there like 680i or somthing i was told), i must say ir was a huge disappointment. however i did get skate and thats great:P

[sarcasm]Yes we all have dual quad cores.[/sarcasm]

Seriously though to those who have dual quads *applauds*.
