Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL


Recommended Posts

If you got the LE edition then i still think it would be with Royal Mail, might just turn up in the van instead.

Either way you should receive it tomorrow and definitely receive it if paid 99p for first class delivery.

I wouldn't get peoples hopes up. Hell Parcelfarce24 isn't guaranteed for next day. If they can't deliver a Wii, which was in limited stock, for launch. Imagine them trying to complete the largest pre-order the Xbox360 has seen yet.

edit: I'm not trying to get people down, I'm saying don't pull a bloody sickie until you've got the game in your grubby hands!

Well i've never had an item late from gameplay.com. I've always had my pre-orders early, i always pay the 99p for first class postage too. It depends on your area too, if you're prone to late deliveries etc, then don't get your hopes up.

My Wii came with Parcel Force and arrived on time.

That was the problem, I had never had a late delivery and had been using Gameplay for nigh 3-4 years when they still owned Wireplay! :(

GAME have got to big for their boots and probably sticking to the release date and sending it out tomorrow with special delivery or something.

@DrunknMunky, we should do some co-op, i think i got you on my friends list.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I do. I'm definately up for some co-op man. It's going to be mayhem the first night haha.

GAME were pretty fast with my late preorder on The Darkness. Hopefully they have already sent it to you PureLegend. It might just take a while to update. I haven't even got an email saying mine has been sent yet from Gameplay, but on the site it says they have.

Don't let his comments get you down, he bashes Halo all the time :p

Tom Chick, or me? Chick does not bash Halo all the time.

And there's a major difference with "bashing" and "showing a dislike" for something. Seems like anyone who has anything even remotely negative to say about Halo around here is crucified.

Don't worry, though, if I have any negative thoughts about Halo 3, I'll start my own separate topic specifically for the negatives, as I'm sure someone will accuse me of being a "troll", even though this topic isn't "Praise Halo 3, all Negative Comments Post Elsewhere."

Unfortuantely a lot of people do, I think many feel the need to go against the grain and put digs in on a highly succesful game/franchise just to look cool. Ah well, leave them to it because as long as i'm happy I don't give a **** what anyone else thinks!

Oh jeez take it on the chin eh, I was joking.

Post all the negative posts you like, but hey at least play the game first ;)

22/09/2007 12:15:57 Your order has been dispatched on: {0}

Haha, would you look at that :D 2 days ago! :drool:

This must be a worldwide launch as I'm seeing a lot of you from the UK all stoked for tomorrow! Any launch events going on over there where you can pick up the game in person instead of pre-ordering and having it shipped to you? i.e. in London?

Not a *massive* gamer...but enjoy a good game and really dug the previous two Halo titles. Really powerful game, great story, and looks just gorgeous on my HDTV set. Only got through the first mission thus far, so this isn't a review by far. heh

Most shops will be doing a midnight launch tomorrow, I know my local GAME is. Or if you're not one for camping outside a shop there'll probably be loads of stock left on Wednesday :D

Yeah there is. Not quite like the launch partys over in america though. If you look back a few pages Spartan_X posted about it. I think the GAME retailer has 150 stores opening at midnight for launch. If there is some party though, it will be in London no doubt, Oxford street I imagine :p

Quite a lot of us have preordered online, and to get the game on time they ship them early. Those lucky enough to be in good postal areas get the game earlier than planned :p

@ Ayepecks, lets just hope you have the same reviewing morals when it comes to Porject Origins ;) Wouldn't want to see you being biased or anything like that :p

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
