ALL the pictures are great, and RDA looks TERRIFIC! wub.gif

Thanks, Jakob, for finding the pics! biggrin.gif

(...and my son ended up getting HALO after all, so he's REALLY happy. Gamespot just took a trade in for his old game console, and the game turned out not to be as expensive as he thought it would be. Cool!)

Oh my God, I can't get over how good he still looks! wub.gif I love the pictures of him with James Joyce, too. It looks like he had a marvelous time. Thanks for sharing, everybody! It was a nice distraction from work today. blush.gif

I managed to get the pics... and they're GREAT! (...well, except the watermark splashed all over his face.) But I love.jpg the poses RDA does with the too-tall soldier. Funny. biggrin.gif

I wish I could use Netscape, but the Windoze police won't let me. As soon as I clear some space, I'm going to install Firefox.

so do we know why all this happened in Ireland? I would have thought the big launch would have happened in the US.. or if they wanted to launch at the first place for the game to go on sale in the world, it would have been Auckland New Zealand. (Kiwis had the game some 4 hours ahead of anyone else in the world)

*scratches head*

Ireland doesn't make any sense.

Does Microsoft have offices in New Zealand? Or a GameSpot? That's all I can think of...

http://news.filefront.com/current-halo-3-sales-figures/
In even more Halo 3 related news, initial sales for Master Chief’s latest incarnation are coming in, and the Xbox 360 exclusive title has sold through 1.8 million copies during the first 8 hours of release...

(snip)

Bungie and Bill Gates will be rolling on a bed strewn with money laughing maniacally and kissing one another profusely before the week is finished. Can’t you feel the love?

Wish they'd share the wealth... surprise.gif

Yeah we have Microsoft offices here.. and even if we didn't... why did they do the big launch in Ireland instead of the US?

Ireland's midnight is before ours?

Sales were over the top EVERYWHERE, and at this moment, MacGyver is more populer overseas. Maybe they didn't think it get the same reception here. They had opening parties here, but I haven't heard anything about another celebrity promotion.

They had gaming marathons in Ireland AND apparently the pre-orders for the game in Ireland topped all records.

Heck, maybe the Irish just wanted to throw the best party! Can't blame them. And they are a rapidly growing, prosperous, high-tech country with a relatively young population -- a prime market for the game.

And they can recognise a really good hero when they see him!

biggrin.gif He did a great job with the theme tune. clapping.gif I lot better than I could do anyway. biggrin.gif
He was a bit rubbish on the rest of the quiz though. laugh.gif I guess he was too busy working to watch Knight Rider or Airwolf.

I heard on the radio that they had Christian Slater at the london Halo 3 launch party blink.gif Oh and some big rap star that I am not cool enough to remember the name of. laugh.gif
I think Ireland wins. clapping.gif
