Xbox EU launch delayed
fAt, of MPZ Halo, sends word that FGN Online has an article suggesting that the Xbox will be delayed in Europe for as long as 3 months past the US release. There must be a big router out between FGN and here, because I can't reach the site at all... but Daily Radar has a similar article, with some US commentary - apparently, the theory is that the delay is specifically to avoid shortage problems like those faced by Sony with its Playstation 2. This doesn't seem to be affecting the US rollout date, and in fact might even bump it up, now that Microsoft isn't going to be trying to coordinate a worldwide simultaneous rollout. Since the concern is a hardware shortage, and not a technical glitch, it will likely not affect the PC/Mac versions of Halo, either. Or... at least, that's OUR guess.

Jingle bells, jingle bells...
If Hamish can do it, so can we. We've put up our holiday decorations, in honor of the first day of Winter (in the northern hemisphere, at least). Now I just need to finish hanging those lights on my REAL house... (Louis Wu 19:54:39 UTC) (permalink)
Matt says yuk!
Heh... seems Matt agreed with my dissatisfaction with the chat... he posted this note a few minutes after it ended. :) More prep next time... (Louis Wu 04:12:05 UTC) (permalink)
IGN chat log posted
An hour late, but better than never. The log from the IGN chat this evening on IRC has been cleaned up a bit, and formatted for slightly easier reading. The format of the chat left quite a bit to be desired... but there's some nice info nonetheless. Give it a read... and be ready with your tough questions for the next one!
