Legendary Back Redux
Back in December, we heard from GothicSlayer, who was working on a full-back Halo Legendary tattoo. He stopped by this morning with an update... and all I can say is WOW. That there's some serious fan lovin'... (Louis Wu 17:40:59 UTC) (permalink)

More from Frankie at Amsterdam

Over a million preorders
Back in May, we noted a story that four million preorders had been taken for Halo 3 (by Gamestop and its affiliates); that number seemed rather high, but nobody contradicted it. Today, the Wall Street Journal comes out with a far more reasonable number - they say that according to Microsoft, there are "more than one million copies" pre-ordered, making it the fastest-preselling game in history. (This info is in an article that looks at the marketing blitz Microsoft is kicking off for Halo 3 - everything from Burger King packaging to Slurpee cups at 7-11 will be sporting Halo 3 imagery in the next few months. Scary...) Thanks to Xboxer for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 13:26:03 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie Interview on European Sites
A bunch of European Xbox sites had the chance to ask questions of Frankie and Sketch in Amsterdam last week; the interview went live today. Gamersyde was first out of the gate (thanks, Andy C) but it's on other sites, as well - for example, Marc from Halo Universe points out a copy on Xbox Aktuell. The interview itself is in English, though the sites hosting it might not be. Go read! (Louis Wu 13:15:42 UTC) (permalink)
Fuel Up
A bunch of people on our forum have been reporting that Mountain Dew Halo 3 Game Fuel is appearing in stores, almost a week ahead of schedule. Gaming Talk HQ has seen it too (in 2 liter bottles). Swing by your local mart and check it out for yourself! (Louis Wu 13:05:09 UTC) (permalink)
