Norwegian game shop sells Halo 3 copies early

Choi Wang mailed Maxconsole to reveal that a Norwegian game shop called Expert today sold at least two copies of Halo 3 to the public, he added the following picture as proof. In the past, premature street date breaks have resulted in competitors following suit, if this occurs, we could all be purchasing Halo 3 a lot earlier than we thought.

Hopefully MS made the game region coded to limit the damage when the game is leaked to the torrents sites

Gamer luv6074d ago

Who cares, i was hoping this would happen, id much rather play sooner rather then later.

ktchong6075d ago (Edited 6075d ago )

The White dude's last name is Chinese.

Arkham6075d ago

Actually, his name was originally "McWang".

I recall reading in the news the other day that McDonald's lawyers sent Wang's family a letter notifying them of trademark infringement. It was in relation to McDonald's new hotdog meal being product-tested overseas.

XENOCIDE6075d ago

The box he's holding doesn't prove much to me (you can find that in every retailer), but that large plasma behind him sure looks convincing enough...

ktchong6075d ago

Hm. I dunno... I better not approve this.

TheMART6075d ago

Well... he could be running some video from the net with the intro screen... But I must say it's looking too sharp for that.

Sounds pretty much legit to me now the game is gold and shipped probably

RadientFlux6075d ago

I think it's true... since Microsoft has already started shipping copies of Halo 3 to retailers.

kn6075d ago

There was a screenshot of the title screen released already. That could be static plus a display box...

IPlayGames6075d ago

We got all the accessories Halo(xbox), headset... but no game.

I think he's a moron and MS is prob going to brick his system

XENOCIDE6075d ago

M$ would go after the retailer, not the purchaser.

It's the same as when reviews of Harry book 7 were published a day before the release. Since the newspaper obtained the book legaly, Rowling could only whine about it.

LeonSKennedy4Life6075d ago

What you all fail to realize is that once this game is cracked...I'll be playing it on my PS3.

Bioshock - play the PC version on my PS3

Gears of War - play the 360 version on my PS3

Dead Rising - play it on my PS3

Don't you love open source GL?

LINUX FTW!!!

I will get a 360 with all three of those games though, because it doesn't feel right stealing from those companies. I respect 2K, Epic, and Capcom a LOT!

TheMART6075d ago

Ofcourse. Do you hear yourself and how dumb it sounds?

ANd you forget: the PS3 already has problems running normal multiplatform games programmed for it, framerate drops, several issues making it the minor version over and over again and you hope an emulator would let a game like Halo 3 run on it?? moahahahaha

Already having framedrops would make that a slideshow. One picture in a day for you my friend!

VirusE6075d ago

That is honestly the dumbest thing i have heard all year on this site. Way to go leon welcome to the ignore list.

Macdory6075d ago

Moron ...

If you are going to tell lies at least make them believable ...

What utter bollox!

i Shank u6075d ago

You owe me a PS3 for posting that garbage and for the brain cells i lost reading it

BLACKJACK VII6075d ago (Edited 6075d ago )

HA HA HA !!!

Right ! You can get a mod chip & play region free or cracked copied PS3 games, but you CAN'T play an xbox 360 game on a PS3 or a PC !!! You sir, are full of sh!t !!! "Open source GL on Linux" my a$$ - I did my own mod on Xbox 1 & all it allowed me to do was to backup my Xbox games to the 160gb hardrive I installed & play region free Xbox games - NOT PS games. I did it more to see if it *could* be done than anything, & the mod chips where you copy, crack & BURN games are VERY UNCOOL. Very dangerous stuff if you ever connect to XBL, or God forbid *sell* copied games, and in retrospect, with online gaming now, it is not even worth it even IF it was possible today. Not only that, but if it WAS possible & you EVER connected to PSN online, you will be banned for life & possibly arrested, homeslice.

You sir, are full of sh!t !!!

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii114d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies113d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer151d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog151d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned151d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c151d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb151d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72150d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman151d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos150d ago (Edited 150d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows150d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72162d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai162d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ162d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil162d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
