New Halo 3 Vidoc and you WILL NOT get banned for playing Halo 3 early!

There's another vidoc been added to Bungie.net here, it features details about the saved films functions and Forge in Halo 3. There's also a saved films text tutorial at that link. With 4 days to go till Halo 3 launches, I have to ask, what's the point in releasing these things now as opposed to later? Still I guess it's worth a download.

Oh and if you're lucky enough to have acquired a copy of Halo 3 early, here's some good news for you:

"Hopefully I can put these Halo 3 ban rumors to rest...

If you obtain a copy of Halo 3 prior to its street date of Sept 25th, you will NOT be banned from Xbox Live for playing Halo 3 early (not even my fellow softies)."

Halo 3 Stuff, Halo Wars Demo

There are new screenshots and two new Forge Tutorials over on bungie.net. It's worth having a look at, it might help build even more excitement!

For anyone who hasn't noticed yet, there's a Halo Wars demo on Xbox Live. You only need a Silver account (free) to download the free demo.

Halo 3 Special Edition Console Explodes Into Stores This Sunday

That's right folks, the Halo 3 Special edition console is released this coming Sunday. Priced at around US$400 it's being touted as a must have for the hardcore Halo fans. I just wish they'd announced it before I bought my Xbox 360, which I bought for Halo 3. Perhaps if I send in my Xbox 360 claiming it suffers from the dreaded RRoD (Red Ring of Death) problem they'll return a special edition console for inconveniences caused by it. Yeah right.

Free Xbox Live courtesy of Best Buy

On the 25th, 26th and 27th of September, Best Buy are providing free Xbox Live Gold for ANYONE with an Xbox 360 and a copy of Halo 3. So everyone will be able to join in some pwnage for those 3 days. Sounds good to me.

This Week's Releases

Scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 this week:

Burnout Paradise - 11th September

NHL 08 - 11th September

Fatal Inertia - 11th September

skate - 12th September

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Xbox Live Arcade) - 12th September

Not so many releases this week, I guess because no-one wants to compete with Halo 3. Speaking of Halo 3, check this out. GameStop, maybe that's a LITTLE too harsh.

Master Chief Brings The Fight to Madame Tussauds

Earlier this week, the Master Chief was unveiled at Madame Tussauds, making him the first videogame character to be featured at Madame Tussauds ever. Forget those action figures below, I want the 7' 2" real deal!

I got my hands on Prey earlier this week, a little late I know, and I have to say it's pretty damn fun!

Halo 3 Action Figures/ Statues + Final Fantasy XIII

This week in the Bungie weekly update, some Kotubukiya Halo 3 Statues were revealed. They look fantastic but just looking at the price tag makes my pocket ache. Anyways see it for yourself here.

Away from Halo 3, Square Enix have announced that Final Fantasy XIII will be cross platform and cross region. Hiromichi Tanaka also said it won't be long before more secrets surrounding FF XIII will be revealed.

Xbox Live Updates - Parental timer & Sony Getting Dirty

Bad news here for anyone who's parents are trying to limit their use on their 360, it seems the next Xbox Live Update could contain a password protected timer, limiting the time a chosen user is allowed to use the Xbox 360.

It seems the guys at Sony have been attempting to sabotage Halo 3's wikipedia entry, claiming the graphics would only be as good as Halo 2. Sony, that's a low blow.

Fanboy Fever..Halo 3

We're so close now. Halo 3 is less than 3 weeks away. If you haven't already, you should get it pre-ordered. For all of those who have already pre-ordered and want to waste some time, you might want this handy Halo 3 RSS Reader. I don't care if you already have an RSS reader, this one is cooler.

Also, check out the Halo 3 Live Action short by WETA digital. It's really awesome stuff, the movie would be really cool.

If you still need more time to kill, there's a new map pack for Gears of War, totally free, on Xbox Live. And if you're really bored just read this blog.

For those of you who can't stand all this hype over Halo 3, don't worry we'll cover something for you soon.
