Demo progress
The mirror list for the demo trailer continues to grow. Latest addition is Xbox Community HK - it's a Hong Kong-based server with excellent connections to Taiwan and mainland China (and the rest of Asia). Hopefully, we'll have more European links for you soon, as well. (Brian Towne updated the forum on the efficacy of the BitTorrent links; they're really starting to pick up. Remember, if you use them, leave the window open after your download finishes, and share the wealth! The more people who help out with uploading, the faster it goes for EVERYBODY.)

Discovery Channel Documentary next week
Catching up... SketchFactor reminded everyone on Bungie.net that next week marks the debut of the Discovery Channel special on the Xbox, which highlights Bungie. Check it out (and see Sketch's writeup for a link to a teaser trailer)! (Louis Wu 20:31:22 UTC) (permalink)
Status Update
You ever have one of those days? Well, I'm having one now. Anyway, after... what, two and a half hours? we're finally up-to-date with the demo trailer mirror list. (The Bungie.net list is still accurate, but ours breaks out what's available at each site a little better. Downside is, it's harder to get to.) More as we know it. (Louis Wu 19:41:52 UTC) (permalink)
Movie is up.
Go here for now. (I can't even get in to edit this site, so you need to rely on bungie.net.) (Louis Wu 17:20:16 UTC) (permalink)
iGames Summer Season registration open
CobaltNova points out that registration is in progess for the iGames Summer Season, which starts next week (06/21/03). Visit the iGames news page for more details. (Louis Wu 13:35:09 UTC) (permalink)
Halo on sale at Target
If you were to walk into your local Target store, you'd notice that they're selling Halo this week for $37.88. If you wait until next week, the price drops down to $27.88! Since I'm sure we all have our own copies of Halo already, this would be a good opportunity to pick up a backup copy... and to increase Bungie's track record with the number #1 selling Xbox game. :) (Ding 12:55:57 UTC) (permalink)
New desktop at b.net
Another (unannounced) desktop image has been released on bungie.net: E3 2003: Ghost Chase II (bottom of the Halo 2 Wallpapers page). It's not mentioned on the front page of Tru7h and Reconciliation or the main bungie.net site; we only know about it because gd pointed it out in our forum. Go grab a copy! (Louis Wu 11:00:07 UTC) (permalink)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The E3 2003 demo trailer will not be available before 10 am PST (5 pm UTC). Nothing will be posted about it until then... and constantly refreshing this page, or any other page at HBO, will do nothing except bog down this server, and remove any chance you have of actually seeing useful information when 10 am finally rolls around. Thanks. (Louis Wu 10:41:37 UTC) (permalink)
It's coming... (cue Jaws theme)
Apologies for the short downtime this evening. No, the box isn't having troubles - it was actually up and running, just not serving this website. Why? because it was preparing for tomorrow's massive Halo goodness (that oh-so-luscious direct-feed footage we've all been waiting so long for). We've been helping Bungie do a little bit of mirror site setup. I figure half an hour of downtime tonight is easily compensated by what you're gonna have access to tomorrow...
