I got mine at my local Circuit City. They had plenty of copies available and there weren't very many people there.

I must say, the graphics are at least on par if not better than BioShock. The screenshots that have been posted don't do it justice; it looks so much better in motion. I was stunned when I started playing. It's just absolutely beautiful. I've only been able to play about an hour of it because I'm getting to sleep now, but I already love it.

Same here, I click on the Unite to Fight ad (I am assuming the large one on the main marketplace blade?) and all that does is take you to a Halo 3 page with Unite to fight events (which inside tells you to click on the Unite to Fight ad to get the content - exactly what I just did :() it also has other options of "Why is halo 3 better with xbox live", "trailers and videos", "Themes and gamerpics" <- This contains content you have to pay for no free content, "Get halo today" and "Expand your live experience"

So can anyone say what the exact steps are to get this content?

BTW I had to use my US account as it seems the rest of the world, again, doesnt exist when it comes to promotions like this :(

To be honest I'm too old to wait for the game at midnight and I've never done this before, but I know the whole crew at my local Gamestop and Devry truck was there with Guitar Hero competition with huge screen on the back of the truck and 3 huge 50" screens in front of the store where people played Halo 2 multiplayer 4 people on each screen.

It was fun. Then at 10:30pm we got all in, paid if we needed to pay, got our numbers for the line and at midnight everything went lightning fast. We all got out of there by 12:20

Well ParcelForce haven't been yet but they usually appear afternoon-ish for me. I got up early today cause i heard to the doorbell and i was greeted with parcels for my brother instead!

Still on the edge of my seat, I won't be happy until it is at my door.

I just got a new puppy and he has a small head so i think he is going to become a Spartan dog today :)

I do but when i enter my tracking number on ParcelForce webite it says they don't have it or it hasnt been entered into their system yet. I got a feeling it will come tomorrow and not today if everyone has the Legendary Edition sent out by ParcelForce. What a bummer. I hope i am wrong.

LE looks sweet.

Holy Crap by some huge twist of good luck I awoke today only to see my original Xbox 360 had come from the repair center :| this I was not expecting and WOW now I am left with two Xbox 360's as I had borrowed a mates one before hand just to make sure i could finish the fight...

I am certainly liking my good luck but I won't be completely happy till i get to finish the fight and i won't be able to do that till tomorrow it seems because post just arrived and my pre order wasn't there :( well ill see y'all tomorrow for sure!!

Happy Gaming everyone it is indeed a good day to be a gamer :)

Good Luck with Finishing the Fight :D

The tracking number I got from Play doesn't work either. I'm still hoping for delivery today, but it's likely that it'll arrive tomorrow.

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
