Halo 3 = Fistfulls of Ca$h

It looks like Microsoft has something new to brag about. Halo 3's first day sales numbers came back very impressive, the official word from MS: "Halo 3 has officially become the biggest entertainment launch in history, garnering an estimated $170 million in sales in the United States alone in the first 24 hours. The Xbox 360 title beat previous records set by blockbuster theatrical releases like "Spider-man 3" and novels such as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Not too shabby for the crew at Bungie for the swan song to a franchise that will surely live on in the gaming history books. I haven't picked it up yet myself, but my Magic 8 Ball has assured that it "seems likely" that I will have it by the weekend. Kudos all around MS and Bungie.

Also the 2nd server is now open on Halo3.com for those of you who care. I haven't been able to get it to do anything, but that may be slow server issues. Definitely a lot to take in. I'll be examining the videos and checking out the forums to see if anything else pops up. Until then enjoy.
