I am pretty close to just breaking down and getting a 360 in part because I need to play this game (as well as the new Madden).

Should be interesting to see if Halo 3 garners over the projected $200M in sales tomorrow. By comparison, Spiderman 3 holds the record for biggest box office weekend with $150M over three days, so to shatter that sales total and essentially stake claim to the most successful opening in entertainment history would be quite something.

Almost 250 people outside of the gamecrazy by my house waiting for 12:01 unreal if you ask me.

I have my reserved copy and will be picking it up tomorrow at my leisure.

We should start a broken 360 club. Though, I'm on week 2 of my 4-6 week wait. (Whoopie!)

And just a side note, for fun. My roommates 360 broke and he waited nearly 3 months for a new one - even after and endless amount of calls to MS. Crossing my fingers that it doesn't happen to me.

Yeah same thing happen to my 360. It gets worse I bought the 360 from compusa who coincidentaly close all their store in AZ except in Tucson. Now I don't know how great their customer service is. Ugh!!!

Shane let me know what you think about the game's M rating. My wife doesn't think our 13 year old boy should have any M rated games but my college son says halo isn't that bad.

I picked it up for my 12 year old. I for one dont have a problem with Halo at all. It really isnt that bad. I have seen a few T games that are worse. That can change with the online experience. You never know how people are going to talk on there while your kids are listening.

Halo has violence but nowhere near the level of GTA or others. If I were you I would pick it up for a 13 YO Boy.

I have to say that I am not too impressed by the new game. The campaign mode was really really short and didn't tie up a lot of the loose ends.

*sigh*
I guess they are going to milk the background story for all that it is worth... hence Halo Wars (coming out in 2008)

My kid beat this game within 24 hours of getting it. That is rediculously short!

My son is unimpressed thus far.

For whatever reason, they made the "normal" difficulty level easier than with 1 and 2 to the point where average players will finish in less than 10 hours. Trying the harder skill levels definitely helps boost this (even though its still kind of short, unfortunately).

One of my daughter's friends said the same thing.

If you buy halo for the single player campaign, you will be disappointed. Halo is all about the multi player online games.

Maybe down the road...halo is reason enough to buy the system.

Halo has never been a good enough reason to buy the system. Online is fun, but overrated. You can get better online games elsewhere.

Halo is the most overrated game of all time.

Disagree. Even though I am a big Halo fan, I will admit that it is overrated.

However, the most overrated game of all time would have to be any Final Fantasy game.
