The cheque is in the mail Just looking at this Service Tag function: http://www.bungie.net/content.aspx?link=h3betaAppearance I'm having the tag "M00" in team games! Cow to the slaughter and all that! Edit: Maybe even "P00"

I actually used a bubble shield for the first time! The only problem was the bubble enclosed both me and the guy who was shooting at me!

Downloaded it this morning, played 2 games, thought I was playng Halo 2 for the most part.

Gears Tonight??

EDGE says Summer this year in the latest issue.

There are 2283 players currently online in halo 3

Hides in basement

Go download the Beta NOW!!!! http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/05/16/halo-3-mp-beta-you-ll-need-crackdown.aspx Possibly a little premature but go argue that with the Major!

'Tis True, the other half demanded a copy for each brain cell in my head. Therefore I've bought 4 copies. As of today the ultimate battle of wills begins... me in one corner with my Halo 3 beta, and her in the other wanting to play Wagamama Mama (as it is referred to in this house). I will win so see you there!

I've played Halo online about 5 times. It's really dependant on the guys you're playing with to make it fun so I'm pretty hopefull of some nice games with you guys (if I ever get enough free time to join you anyway!)

Thank you! ... What? Better late than never!

Just select Speed Race from the main menu and win those (assuming you have the premium DLC that is!). The speed races are actual races against other people, as opposed to the original races which were just against time. For those who downloaded the premium DLC, go to memory on the System blade of the dashboard, select Crackdown and look at the name of the download!! Looks like they might have been planning 4 player co-op at one point!

What update is this? I can use MSN fine.

Whatever you do, don't sign up with BT! My d/l speed at weekday nights is less than 0.5Mbps, then it shoots up to around 7Mbps during the day time and weekends! Customer service keep saying it's something to do with contention and my computer setup, but the speed is the same on Xbox Live (meaning i can't play multiplayer games on weekdays.. too laggy) and the whole thing is fine at weekends so it can't be hardware related. I'd leave but i'm moving house in a couple of months so don't want to pay twice to swap broadband around.

The crackdown DLC is now available apparantly, all yous slackers with no jobs goes and gets it!

800 You really do just skip over all my posts don't you?! :p

Please don't abuse your Xbox, you'll only make it overheat faster and possibly make the dvd drive stuck shut. :wink:

Premium is 800 points, some sites are saying all this will drop today but I can't see any Microsoft confirmation anywhere. Looks like we'll have to redo all the Time Trials again!

I'll be downloading it when I get home at 5.30 and due to the ultra crappy broadband speed i get at weekday evenings (don't use BT Broadband ever!) it'll probably take all night to download. Is it too early to think about the next firmware upgrade? I want the ability to initiate downloads remotely! EDIT: By the way, Eurogamer have details on the new Crackdown DLC. Looks tasty, I won't cut and paste the whole thing as it's quite long. SECOND EDIT: Here's a good link http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1603/Crackdown/p1/

Yeah, the missis loved the DS version so I've been informed that I have to buy this version regardless of reviews/budget/time or I may be sleeping on the sofa!

This has probably been mentioned before but the Chat page is out of date (still references Revolution-Europe). Oh, and the chat channel is still called Gamecube-europe.

I can see two possible outcomes for the next Zelda based on the lukewarm reception it received in Japan: 1. Nintendo decide to tailor the next game more towards the Western Market who bought the last game by bringing in a Western writer to flesh out the plot, this will make the game look and feel more "adult" with more realistic environments and characters. 2. Nintendo decide to try and win back the Japanese audience by simplifying and streamlining the control scheme and gameplay.

If anyone's up for some midday bank holiday multiplayer then I'll be online until 6 awaiting an invite!
