Japanese Xbox launch details
Games Radar has an article on the Japanese launch of the Xbox - Release date is set for February 22, and launch price is 34,800 yen (a little over $250). Even though shooters aren't as popular in Japan as they are in the US, it's still a little surprising that Halo is not a launch title. Thanks to Veebs for the heads-up.

Yeah, yeah...
Heh - Mark Levin points out this page, devoted to an Xbox emulator. Sounds exciting... except that the screenshot of the emulator showing Halo in action looks... somewhat familiar. Okay, REALLY familiar. In fact, I don't think you can actually REPRODUCE this scene in the shipping version of Halo. Ah, well... careful what you download. More info: Further investigation by folks who are good at this sort of thing (read further down in the thread) suggest this is nothing more than a hoax, and a poorly done one at that.

GamesDomain 'previews' PC Halo
Reg Juice Schultz, Vitamin and KillGore =PN= all dropped us notes to let us know that Games Domain has posted a 'Preview' of PC Halo. There's really not a lot of information there... and whatever decent speculation you MIGHT find is diminished in value by the final line:
Expect more details on the acclaimed title update very soon. With a Spring 2002 release promised, we can't wait for Bungie's masterpiece to grace our desktops.
To be clear: NOBODY with any authority to do so has 'promised' a Spring 2002 release. Even so, it's interesting to see that the previews are already beginning. (Louis Wu 19:19:12 UTC) (permalink)
BGH is overhauling
Chmee writes to point out that Battleground: Halo is being revamped. The front page says only 'Reformat in Progress'... Update: SonicStorm, of BGH, has asked us to adjust our post to respect BGH's privacy until the new site design is live. Keep an eye on them for developments. (Louis Wu 19:08:52 UTC) (permalink)
More Fan Fiction
Tom Murphy releases two Fan Fiction articles; the third installment of Pride and Honor (depressing) and a satire called 'Halo: A Comedy' (a little depressing, as well, for how close to reality it comes). Check 'em out in our Fan Fiction section! (Louis Wu 06:21:30 UTC) (permalink)
