Halo 3 Sold On Ebay… Leaked… 15 days before release.
It’s been the talk of the Halo community all day. An Australians auction on ebay sold a PAL Halo 3 copy earlier today, going for less than $200. No one is sure how the seller managed to grab the game 15 days before release (he claims to have at least 2). He posted some images of the casing, manual, and disc for proof.
People were skeptical at first, but after others contacted the seller, they were provided with photographs from the first cutscene as proof.

Play Halo 3 First at the London Premiere!
There is a contest for 150 pairs of tickets for people to go Play Halo 3 before anyone else at the London Premiere! All you have to do is crack the code!
Crack The Code – Win Tickets to London Halo 3 Premiere
The Answer:
It comes from the First TV commercial for Halo 3.
“Ever wonder what’s up there”
Once you type that in, you need to send an email to halo3prem [at] neoncomms.co.uk. A max of 15 words in the email to them for why you think you should be going to the premiere. One thing I noticed was that there happens to be 15 words spoken by the child in the video… “Maybe someone up there is wondering what it’s like here. I hope so, don’t you?”
Good luck!
You can do that?!?! Destroy a Phantom in Halo 3
Apparently, those pesky Covenant drop ships (named Phantoms) are now destructible in Halo 3… As seen from some leaked Halo 3 Epsilon Beta footage, two players in co-op mode take down a Phantom in a fairly short amount of time.
Phantoms were originally introduced in Halo 2, replacing the “Tuning fork” drop ship from Halo 1. These new vehicles had several powerful plasma turrets, making battles very difficult in some instances (especially while fighting off the enemies coming down from the ship). Now we can get the drop on them first!
Finally… We can actually take them out before they hit the ground!
Halo 3 Brute Prowler Video
Here’s a new Halo 3 compilation video that has shown up on Youtube, featuring the brand new “Brute Prowler” Vehicle in action (as well as several other goodies). The footage comes from Germany (not sure whereabouts, so if you know, please fill us in), and is all shaky cam.
Seems like there are kiosks to actually play the game (or a demo) in some places around the world. We’d love to see some more events with playable demos here in the states!
