Hey, two new contests sponsored by Pontiac...

First to Play / First to Own
http://www.pontiac.com/halo3

The First to Play lets you play it on Sept. 24th ON AN IMAX SCREEN!  Of course, you have to be present at the locations in either New York, NY or Sacramento, CA to enter.

The First to Own contest puts a free copy of the game in your hands on September 24th.  One day early... big whoop.

Both give you a quick puzzle to solve, and then you're entered in the contest.  I do have to admit that playing on an IMAX would be cool, but with how many thousands of entries will be pounded into this one, all i can say is good luck!

Just picked up the new Master Chief controller...

I used to think the pictures I've seen made it look ugly, but it isn't as bad in person.

This is pretty cool...

I just got back from Vegas, too, dammit! Hopefully it'll still be there next year. Mdme Tussauds is definitely a cool place to visit when you're in Vegas. I highly recommend it.

Wal-Mart has opened their own Halo 3 launch webpage, and well, they're doing a lot of extra stuff for fans out there.

stuff you can expect:
  • Halo 3 dog-tag freebie
  • checkout lanes opened for Halo 3 buyers, making for a quick getaway
  • online utility to organize the wait with your friends

The online deal gets me.  Pretty much it asks where you live, and when you want to get in and out of the store.  It then sends an e-mail to friends that you list with a link to a flash dealie that talks them through your plans.

I would say you're better off just calling them yourself.  Then your team could coordinate roles... aka, two for the waiting and buying, and another parked at the front door for the getaway.  A fourth team member waiting at home keeping the 360 warm, tray opened, television and stereo on, and four wireless controllers fully charged in the appropriate places.  With three free days of Live Gold, you're gonna want to hit it quick.

Or, go to any store anywhere and pick up a copy.

hehe, I like the "flying carpet" idea.  Teamwork will certainly pay off with the Forge.

I think the Forge idea would be a blast in Slayer free-for-all matches. Then no one could bitch about not having the weapon/vehicle they wanted. Cool

I just downloaded the latest ViDoc video from XBL Marketplace and damn! The Forge is looking better and better. It may be the best map editing feature we've seen since Far Cry: Instincts and FC:IE! Cool

And the footage on Saved Films that they showed players crushing the opposition with the Gravity Hammer...sweet! They showed someone using it to "melee" a Wartog, flipping it, and then the player stuck a grenade on it to blow it up. Shocked

I expect some good community-made stuff to come out of it.  They have already mentioned baseball, and making towers out of energy canisters (lob a grenade for a big boom).  I can imagine bowling, but I'm sure there will be some crazy stuff thanks to this new tool.

Does anyone else remember the warthog jump videos from the first Halo?

They were 1337. B33n 7#3r3 d0n3 7#@7

I had the Halo 3 360 in my hands but couldn't justify spending that much :-/
Doesn't matter much my Paypal card wouldn't even clear when i was going to by the Wii.
