i have a feeling more Halo 3 related items will be popping up soon, first the limited edition Mountain Dews that will be coming out, and now these things. What do you guys think about all this stuff adding to the Halo Hype? What else would you like to see get Halo'd up with Master Chief goodyness?

  •  All I will say is... (none / 0)

    don't buy the wireless mic. Those things die in about 2-3 months and they are $60. While they do work they cut out often and get annoying feedback.

    There's Halo 3 Mountain Dew?!?!?!?!?!?!

    I got my headset for free so I don't complain too much, but if you're thinking of buying it don't. It's a Russian Roulette with getting a decent headset.

      •  well they could've tightened the screws... (none / 0)

        I've never had a system break down on my until 360, but that doesn't mean its not a good machine, like anything its not perfect.

        The way I see it, the more complicated hardware gets  the more open it is to problems

          "The way I see it, the more complicated hardware gets  the more open it is to problems"

          That is correct. But i had multiple PS2's and xbox's breakdown. Not to even mention PCs. So when my launch 360 FINALLY hit the bucket, i wasn't that angry (I also have an elite that works wonders! ;) )

          The reason i believe the revised 360 is taking so long to be produced is because they cannot figure out a way to keep the system within the sleek case if they are to move around the parts like the GPU which produce WAY too much heat in their location. Their cooling units are also blocked.

          I for the hell of it, opened up my 360 and took a look inside. It was built with some major no no's in part placement. Actually, i had a friend buy a gaming PC with a crappy small case that he put all the hardware in. EVEN with the side open and a external fan on it, it overheat at least once a day if he was gaming.

    I the only one here who hasn't had a system break down on him?  And whose wireless mic has been working perfectly (well, a few cut-outs here and there) for about five or six months?

    I'm feeling California and looking Minnesota.
