The Return of the Prequel Rumor
Remember this rumor about a Halo prequel? It's popped up again, in a different form - CVG is reporting that the latest issue of EGM has some info about something that sounds the same - but there's no mention of Gearbox. Hmm... same game, different developer? Different game altogether? Totally false rumor? Your guess is as good as ours. (Louis Wu 20:54:10 UTC) (permalink)

4-player Coop Halo 3 Speedruns, Legendary
I'm a little nervous front-paging this, because we're talking about four and a half gigs worth of videos... but you guys are gonna be gentle, right? Cody Miller stopped by to let us know that High Speed Halo has posted four-player Coop Speedruns from six of Halo 3's 9 levels (all on Legendary). You can watch them in small, medium, or large formats - but be aware that all the runs are being served from the same (bungie.org) server, so if your download's really slow, maybe give it a bit and try again later. Update: nash--housewares pointed out that there's a typo on the Uniques page - apparently, all of the 'Halo' links are pointing to 'Storm' videos. I don't have access to that page to fix it; I've sent mail to someone who does (Cody's now gone for a bit). Update 2: Dang, that was fast - fixed on the main page, so the links here are pulled!

Jasman Toys - getting cheaper?
The Jasman Plasma Pistol laser toy has been out since last fall - but until now, it's been $80 or so per unit, a pretty steep price to pay. According to this new post on The Xbox Collector, though, Jasman is releasing a pair of pistols for $40 - either it's a huge discount, or these are lower quality, or smaller size, or SOMETHING. We'll keep an eye on this. (Louis Wu 12:17:22 UTC) (permalink)
Rare Action Figures on eBay
PFG let us know that he's listed two unreleased Halo figures on eBay - the first is a prototype White Spartan with funky mismatched emblems, the second is a Battle Damaged Halo 3 Master Chief created by Joyride before they backed out of the Halo 3 license - there are very few of these out there. You've got four days to make up your mind on these two - check 'em out! (Louis Wu 11:53:05 UTC) (permalink)
