Gamereactor (a scandinavian gamer site) has a video interview with Curtis Creamer, filmed at E3, discussing Firefight and why it’s cool. (I was almost distracted from what Curtis was saying by the player behind him who was trying to kill a Hunter with normal shots from a plasma pistol…) Tons of info in here – much you’ve read in other interviews, some you might have missed. Worth a watch!(Louis Wu 16:54:56 UTC)

mrbilly93 checked a bunch of different retailers for you – Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us (all in the US), and found that so far, only Amazon and Gamestop are offering the “Sgt Johnson in Firefight” bonus for preorders. (Gamestop is still the only place you can preorder the ODST Collector Pack with the ODST controller.) Things to keep in mind if you want goodies!(Louis Wu 16:45:45 UTC)

This is usually a Bungie.net specialty… but Tommy92L sent along a link to a video showing off some fun racing on Skybox-based Halo 3 racetracks – no links to the actual maps, but it’s pretty fun to see how varied these are!(Louis Wu 16:33:56 UTC)

The Video Games Live crew is releasing a new 2gb MP3 player with preloaded content from the VGL shows – including the Halo suite. It’s selling for $50, either on their website or at VGL shows.(Louis Wu 16:07:40 UTC)
