A Followup
I hadn't expected this to be necessary, but the email traffic we've been receiving would suggest I was wrong. A few days ago, we mentioned an auction at eBay for what was ostensibly an alpha copy of Halo 2. It was clear that a number of people realized it was a fake; the final bid was just under $100 million. In the forum threads that erupted in the following days, it became clear that the perpetrator had simply used the DVD included with a bundle at Best Buy, not even bothering to alter the graphics. I let it drop there - but many people still want to know what happened, and many others are unaware that this information has been posted several times on our forum and so send it to us for our edification. The auction itself has been yanked by eBay - if you want to see it, you'll have to view our local copy. And that closes that chapter in Halo stupidity. (Louis Wu 15:30:49 UTC)
