oh crap, forgot to add 7- Eleven

7-Eleven today confirmed its plans to support the launch of “Halo 3” through a variety of in-store promotions, including three “Halo 3”-branded collectible Slurpee cups. In addition,7-Eleven will run a “Halo 3” promotion with Mountain Dew Game Fuel and Doritos, with thousands of “Halo 3”-themed prizes, including, as grand prize, a chance to win a role as a voice actor in the upcoming Xbox 360 video game, “Halo Wars™,” by Ensemble Studios. In a few select markets, Mountain Dew will offer a special-edition aluminum bottle of Mountain Dew Game Fuel with an exclusive design created by Bungie Studios, the developers of “Halo 3.” This bottle will be available in very limited quantities, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item.

I hope they do another Midnight launch for the game. I went to the last one just because my friends were going and I got to meet J. Allard & Peter Moore. I still have the picture I took with them. That was good times, but I will be going if they're doing it again. Plus I already pre-ordered the Legendary Pack. :D

Has there ever been another game that recieved this much publicity? MS is really trying to make Halo into a household name! 

Do you really expect them to NOT do a midnight launch?  GS/Eb Games is doing a midnight for Madden 08 -- surely they will do it for Halo 3...

Dam now you makin me hungry

The Americans love the hype ;)

Well, at least now I know why so much Americans think that game will boost the 360 so hard.

No, never! 

The promotions are inline with big budget hollywood movies such as SpiderMan 3 and Harry Potter.

Yeah, Halo... is selling... great...

But those fries look delicious 'drools' *¬*

I think this stragey will backfire when everybody has heart attacks after drinking such an F'ing large Cola.
