HALO 3 Legendary Edition details with pictures of Helmet (prototype)
UPDATE: Frankie says “Those photos are of the prototype. The real thing looks waaaaay better, more detailed and has much fancier textures. (not texturemaps)”
Finally we see what the HALO 3 Legendary Edition bundle will look like. thanks to a listing at Walmart.com. Check out that helmet! Wal-Mart also suggests October 1st, 2007 at the shipping date. However, November was the month in which Bungie and Microsoft shipped HALO and HALO 2. There is no official release date for HALO 3 since Bungie hasn’t announced one yet. Digg this story here.
This bundle also comes with:
* Behind-the-scenes at Bungie Studios with new insights into the Halo Universe and the making of Halo 3.
* A special hi-res collection of all cinematics from Halo 1 and Halo 2 with director commentary from the Bungie Team bonus
* Community content from Red vs. Blue, This Spartan Life and Exclusive Gamer Tiles & a Theme
* Each unit will be serialized for added individuality and collectability. Not life-size.Attachment Size halo3_helmet.jpg 27.78 KB halo3_helmet_front.jpg 39.84 KB halo3_helmet_back.jpg 33.14 KB

Pictaps
Retsof-Noraa stopped by last night to point out a website that takes user-created art (in this case, his renditions of One One Se7en, in the initial post, and a Grunt, in a followup) and animates it in a huge rave scene. Bizarre… but fun. Check it out! (Add your own creations to the thread; it’s unlikely we’ll put up more front page posts about this, because art phenomenons like this one tend to generate way more interest than we have room for – but if you stick to that thread, you can be sure that anyone who reads this news post will have a chance to see it.)(Louis Wu 12:02:48 UTC)

Episode 95: Wii round table discussion
Download | “Show Notes”
It’s the round table show and this time it has absolutely nothing to do with Halo. It does however have to do with something that a lot of Halo fans are either curious about or have already been playing with, and that’s the Wii! We gathered quite a crowd on this show to talk about what we think of the Wii and let you hear some answers to some questions we had about it. The new format is a learning experience and next time we won’t have quite so many people in a round table discussion, but it still turned out good. Show clocks in at 1:08. Thanks to Ciclonic for editing audio, this one was rough because of a noisy mic. Stay tuned for the Halo 3 show with some special guests coming very soon!
