This Reach thing – it’s a money machine, ain’t it?
CaptainTony noticed that in addition to the standard Halo Reach Official Strategy Guide ($25), there’s also a Halo Reach Official Strategy Guide Limited Edition ($35). This one’s being published by BradyGames, but there’s no information on their website yet. The GameStop links have exactly the same information for both versions – no word at all at what that extra $10 gets you. (No word on whether Brady plans on offering a ‘Legendary Edition’, in a leather binding…)(Louis Wu 16:11:45 UTC)

Reach Screenshot Backup – Last Call
HaLo2FrEeEk reminds you that if you want to back up your Reach Beta screenshots, this is your last chance to get files into the system. (The collections that are there aren’t going anywhere – but after tomorrow, no new files will be added.) Read his post for full details.(Louis Wu 14:18:08 UTC)

A minor campaign spoiler, from an unlikely source
Hypertrooper found an interesting tidbit buried deep in a video about German voice-over work for Halo: Reach – we won’t post it here, because it could definitely be considered spoiler material, but Hypertrooper included it in his NeoGAF post (marked with spoiler tags, so you won’t see it accidentally). It’s not much – but Bungie’s been keeping all Campaign stuff really close to the vest, so it’s all new for us!(Louis Wu 14:17:37 UTC)

Whoa – Cracked gets serious
Cracked has a relatively serious article that makes the point that games are still in their infancy; it contains NSFW content, but overall, it’s surprisingly thoughtful and fun to read. One shot is taken at Halo, making it relevant here. Thanks, Monochron.(Louis Wu 14:15:32 UTC)

Love and Rockets
Bungie’s posted a new in-house video for you, in honor of the release date announcement yesterday; it’s called ‘The Good, The Bad-ass, and The Ugly‘, and it puts together fan-submitted clips and awesome Reach music in a rousing, entertaining manner. Go watch – celebrate the end of the beta, and prepare for the full game’s release, just sixteen weeks from today! Update: On YouTube now, too. (Louis Wu 13:07:47 UTC)
