Jonathan Rivas noticed another batch of new stuff at the Bungie Store – you can grab an H3 Laser Etched Microfiber Fleece Jacket for $50, and a ‘No Scope to the Dome’ long-sleeved T for $18. The Halo Graphic Novel and the Art of Halo books are both back in stock. What are you waiting for? There are only 22 more shopping days until Christmas! Update: Psychophan7 also noticed a new Master Chief hoodie.(Louis Wu 16:49:02 UTC)

Halo fights Cancer?
This came in yesterday, but I forgot to post it. Over at the website for the Fox affiliate in Houston, there’s an article about a doctor who’s used input from gamers to design a better sort of radiation treatment system for cancer patients – in his words, they’ve gone from “a shot gun, where we just blast away with our radiation – to a sniper rifle where we can pinpoint where we deliver our radiation therapy.” What’s bizarre is the video that goes with the story – clips of the doc, in front of his monitor, pointing out cancerous growths on a brain scan, are clips of some little kid playing Halo 2. As far as I can tell, the choice of Halo was random; the doctor doesn’t use Halo in his treatments, just some game theory. I guess Fox figured it would be recognizable to a lot of people… thanks, ChrisVioxxx.(Louis Wu 16:35:20 UTC)

Halo 3 Beta Signups Start Monday
I can’t see any official confirmation of this from Bungie yet, but it appears as if Microsoft sent out a press release that says there’ll be signups for the public beta of Halo 3 multiplayer on Xbox Live, and that the signup form will be at www.halo3.com. At least, so says Kotaku, Techspot, Playfuls.com, PlanetXbox360, and, of course, HBO.
Bungie.net only says that the CGTV ad will be out on Monday, along with possibly some “beta news”. They do say, however, that the beta will be available in the US, Europe, and elsewhere, and that the TV commercial will be downloadable from the Xbox Live Marketplace, in 720p, sometime after the broadcast.
Take it with a grain of salt for the moment, but here’s hoping.
Damn, now I need an Xbox 360.

Halo 3 Beta – Open to the World
Earlier this evening, while some of us were out gallivanting around irresponsibly, KP was keeping down the number of international heart attacks, by clarifying a point about the upcoming Halo 3 beta that was incorrectly stated in today’s MS Press Release – this beta will be open to people all around the world, not just in North America. Breathe easy, you Halo fanatics in Zimbabwe – you’ve still got a shot at this.(Louis Wu 02:44:34 UTC)

Halo 3 Beta Not Open to All
Plus a new screenshot from the upcoming trailer.
by Hilary GoldsteinNovember 30, 2006 – Sad news. The previously announced Halo 3 Beta will not be available for every eager Xbox 360 gamer. In a press release teasing the December 4 Halo 3 trailer, Microsoft revealed that gamers will \"register for the opportunity to be one of the select members\" of the public beta. Just because you love Halo doesn\’t guarantee you will be able to enjoy the multiplayer experience this spring.
On December 4, the millions of hopefuls in North America and Europe can go to halo3.com to sign up for the beta. You thought the Internet hit a crawl as consumers tried frantically to purchase a PS3? This could be worse. The good news is that this likely means fears that Microsoft would charge a premium to play the Beta are unfounded. Some thought Microsoft might control the size of the Beta with a small service fee, but since the Beta will be limited by a selection process, that seems highly unlikely.
The 60-second trailer airs in North America during ESPN\’s Monday Night Football on December 4. The trailer, which will be available online and on the Xbox Live Marketplace following its television debut, features live action and in-game footage. It promises to offer \"telling new hints\" about the upcoming first-person shooter.
\"Halo is a pop culture phenomenon! The Halo franchise has changed the face of interactive entertainment and it\’s only fitting that we take an innovative approach to how we market and advertise the brand,\" said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft Corp. \"This invites a new audience with a rich back story, and continues to galvanize gamers around the world for the launch of Halo 3 in 2007.\"
This is one frame from the 60-second trailer. If you blink really fast, it almost appears to be in motion. Enjoy the torturous wait for Monday and good luck in your endeavors to join the beta.
