But there's more ways for a game to leak right? Maybe someone will find a way to create a signed ISO from the JTAG version.

No they wont. Sorry.

With the PS Jailbreak, we could see PS3 games starting to leak early and playing 3 weeks before everyone else...

PSJailbreak and how Halo Reach was leaked are in two far different worlds.

No, I don't trust you, and no, you don't know. You're a 15yr old kid that actually knows nothing and takes wild stabs at it in the dark.

Halo Reach is on MS's servers for reviewers to download. The security was cracked allowing hackers to steal a copy, which was then decrypted and packaged for jtaggers.

/end.

This...all of it. Once the xcp was leaked, people started to crack it manually. People got really close but were missing a few things, tool to extract the GOD from the xcp was posted by Jester. GOD2ISO + wx360 = Halo Reach files.

Reach to be MS?s biggest marketing spend ever

August 24th, 2010 @ 12:55

By Johnny Cullen

Microsoft?s has told Advertising Age it will go OTT with its Halo: Reach marketing spend, promising it to be the biggest ever for one of its games.

Global product manager Michael Stout didn?t give exact figures, but Halo 3?s launch spend was $6.5 million back in September 2007.

Plans for the Bungie shooter?s advertising include 300 million Mountain Dews, 30 million bags of Doritos, a UFC sponsorship, live action TV spots and a robot in San Francisco.

Halo: Reach launches worldwide on September 14 for 360.

Halo: Reach Campaign will feature matchmaking

August 23rd, 2010 @ 11:11

By Johnny Cullen

Bungie?s confirmed it?s implemented Xbox Live matchmaking in Halo: Reach?s Campaign.

Previously with Halo 3 and ODST, you could only invite your friends to play online.

With Reach, though, you can play with anyone over Live in the Campaign, according to the latest Bungie update.

Easy win.

We played the shooter?s Firefight mode at Microsoft?s Play Day event in Cologne last week. Get Keza Macdonald?s impressions here.

Reach launches on September 14.

Commemorate the launch of Halo: Reach with a Monument of Light

August 24th, 2010 @ 16:13

By Stephany Nunneley

Microsoft and Bungie are calling upon Halo fans to create a ?monument of light? to commemorate the Noble Team and the planet Reach.

By visiting the Remember Reach website, players can contribute a ?a point of light? to collectively form a ?dramatic monument?.

In addition, a collection of three live-action short films depicting what it was like living on Reach prior to the Covenant invasion will also be unveiled from director Noam Murro.

Here?s how it all works:

Visitors can explore and contribute to RememberReach.com, where a continually regenerating sculpture composed of thousands of points of light will take form, produced by a state-of-the-art robotic installation. By guiding a robotic arm to their chosen coordinates, visitors will add another light to the sculpture, honouring the heroic Spartans in the most anticipated game of 2010. The monument is constructed by special camera equipment which captures and composites the movements and light pulses from the robotic arm, which visitors can see in action on the website.

As the community bands together to create a monument to the highly anticipated launch of ?Halo: Reach,? they will also be able to access other content, including a collection of dramatic live-action shorts that capture a poignant snapshot of life on the planet Reach just before the arrival of the dreaded Covenant. The stirring vignettes offer an intimate look at the lives of citizens and soldiers on Reach prior to the legendary battle that set the epic ?Halo? saga in motion.

The final live-action short, ?Deliver Hope,? debuts this Thursday, August 26 on Halo.Xbox.com, Halo Waypoint and www.bungie.net.

The game launches worldwide on September 14, and will see the largest marketing push yet from Microsoft.

Now I remember why I stopped playing Halo 3.... I stopped playing because if you go solo you always end up against better team players (I'm pretty sure everyone ended up with those people, you know the ones that spawn camps every single point and can't even do **** once you spawn) and seriously, whats the win and lose ratio if you go solo matchmaking? :angry: I'm pretty sure people are gonna do the same thing for Reach.... sigh...(most of my friends plays Call of Duty now, so I can't form team with them :( ). Just frustrating really, I was playing Halo 3 for 4 hours and not even 1 win :sleep:

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
