Bungie did a fantastic job with the implementation of the whole replay system and fileshare system. The logistics of how they implemented the replays is insane.  It is not a video file, but a collection of all the controller inputs across the game's time.

Take a screenshot, it is uploaded to Bungie, you can put it on fileshare for other people to browse, you can send it to people. The only complaint is that they have to be viewed in Halo 3. Perhaps a way to convert to a video file if you wanted one could have been implemented.

Saving the controller inputs was very common in old games already. I think all of ID's FPSs do it to record demos (even Wolfenstein 3D, although that game had the demo recording/playback feature hidden, I managed to unlock it).
