Bungie’s Blue Filters to hit the B.net store soon!

From Bungie.net:

One of the many bonus features shipping in Halo 3’s Limited and Legendary Editions is the Audio/Video Calibration tool. While it’s not remotely necessary for an enjoyable Halo 3 experience, those who want to fine tune their visual calibration will want to pick up the Blue Filter. We’re planning on making these filters available in the Bungie Store as soon as possible and at minimal cost to consumers. When they are available and/or we have more details about their availability, we’ll update you here at Bungie.net.

This blue filter (or a similar one) can alternatively bought by some photo retailers according to some Halo fans.  The blue filter is no an essential item, but along with the AV Calibration tool that comes with the Limited and Legendary Edition, it supposedly will make for an even BETTER playing experience.

We’ll update you when the Bungie Blue Filters get to the online store.

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.

The Best HDTV for the Xbox 360 Drops in Price

We pointed out the best HDTV for the Xbox 360 a week or so ago in an effort to let people know that there are affordable TV’s out there that will provide players with incredible experiences come September 25th when Halo 3 is released. This HDTV is the same kind of model that Bungie and other developers use when demonstrating their games at conventions!

Well, now it has come to our attention that the price has dropped for this 1080p HDTV again! Now for $1489.88 (with free Shipping!) you can grab one of the best TV’s on the market for gaming (over $500 below retail price).

Amazon fully refunded me the difference between the price when I bought the TV and their new price, so I’m a happy camper. Shipping takes about 10 days, so be sure to get this thing before September 15th!

Halo 3 Legendary Edition Available for Pre-Order Again at Gamestop!

Fans everywhere were disappointed when Gamestop stopped taking orders for the Legendary edition of Microsoft’s Halo 3. Luckily, today they started taking pre-orders again (thanks for the heads up qj.xbox360.net).

My friend just grabbed a copy today from Gamestop, and I would highly suggest you do too if you want one of these come September 25th. They are limited in quantity, and will sell fast as a valuable collectors item. The Halo 3 Legendary Edition comes with a replica of the Spartan helmet, along with two bonus discs packed full of content. One of the discs will come with exclusive videos (such as a “The Making of Halo 3 documentary”), as well as a calibration tool that will transform your pads setup into the ultimate Home Theatre / Surround System for Halo 3. The other disc will include more exclusive material as well, geared directly towards the Halo fan.

This is a deal you can’t afford to put off any longer!
