Hi-res versions of OXBM images at IGN
Wow. Xbox.ign.com has posted hi-res versions of the images that appeared in the OXBM magazine preview included in last month's PC Gamer and this month's NextGen magazine. These are clean versions - no text from the article; the only overlays are IGN's stamps. Check 'em out! (Thanks to Charthepirate for pointing them out on our forum.)

HCC comes back online
Griffon writes to say that Halo Command Central, offline for a bit now, has resurfaced with a new look and a new URL. Check 'em out. (Louis Wu 18:20:55 UTC) (permalink)
Cockroaches and Camera Takeovers...
TeamXbox has put up high-quality .asf versions of the three Xbox movies shown last night - the first one reminded me a lot of the 1984 Apple ad, in style, but the other two... well, go watch 'em for yourself. Not sure what sort of message they're trying to put out, with a very odd man converting a computer chip into a cockroach as he says
"Their eyes shall be blinded by the weight of my devotions, and all that has passed before shall be changed forever."
but they're certainly not shooting for the 7-13 crowd... Thanks, Adam Daniel, for the heads-up! (Louis Wu 17:27:41 UTC) (permalink)

Only for Xbox... and PC
Sikora wasn't happy about the 'Only for Xbox' stamp on the top of the box art we mentioned a few days ago... so he made his own. (249K) Note for slower connections - the only change is the 'Only for' stamp at the top... (Louis Wu 15:24:25 UTC) (permalink)
First Xbox TV ad details
Well, the MTv Video Music Awards have come and gone, and as promised, there were three Xbox commercials shown in Canada. Harry Al-Shakarchi described them on our forum, here, here, and here... and TeamXbox put up some shots. (Thanks, Jeffrey Campen.) No Halo material - they were more esoteric than that - but they look interesting, nonetheless. Mhaddy suggests they'll be up tomorrow at the Junkyard. (Louis Wu 15:18:11 UTC) (permalink)
G.I. JOE VIETNAM FOOTLOCKER
M B sends in a fun logo for your perusal. On second thought, it brings to mind a frightening Stephen King 'Night Shift' story... ::shiver:: Check it out in our Logos section. (Louis Wu 01:14:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Launch Party: Chicago?
We're not saying that they've decided on Chicago... just that they've decided, and Chicago is a good bet. Matt confirmed that his visit to Chicago was (in part) to scope out launch party sites... and he says he'll be making an announcement tomorrow, barring catastrophe. Dang... I was really hoping for New York. (Louis Wu 00:57:52 UTC) (permalink)
