Halo short film revealed, along with special 360 console [update]

Color me UNIMPRESSED.

What a LAME ASS KEYNOTE.

MY GOD....the enthusiasm I had yesterday for the 360 just evaporated. I was expecting a whole lot more. Colored hardware, Disney movies and more of the same(HALO).

Micro$oft blew it.

its supposed to resemble a ammunition box coloring and fade, which i actually like

i think it's mostly a press event. maybe they should have packed the place with fanboys?

Since there are three versions is probably why they are not bundling the game with the console.

Some people might want the H3 console because they don't already own an xbox 360 and want a 360 and think the h3 console is neat. If say its the same price as the elite/premium with the same features, why not? If it doesn't cost more.

Of course, you might want the h3 edition console + legendary h3 edition or h3 edition console + just standard cause you don't care for paying more for the helmet.

maybe it's coming out after the game.

It's not the Halo movie. The movie is on hiatus until they can find someone willing to finance it. Unfortunately, nobody will until they change some of their terms. Fox and Universal dumped the movie because of certain terms set by Peter Jackson and Microsoft. I've noted this before, but there were three very good reasons for them to have not financed this movie:

1) Microsoft's demands were too high taking $5 million upfront and 10% of the take. This is out of the norm.

2) The production budget has already soared from $135 million to a rumored $200 million. Considering the history of videogame movies and how well they do, this is a red flag. The only videogame movie so far to make over $200 million worldwide so far has been Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001 with $251,600,000.

3) The studios were uncomfortable with the selection of Neil Blomkamp, a guy who has never worked on any movie in any capacity, as the director.

The truth is, Jackson and Microsoft were asking too much from Fox and Universal and they were smart enough to see warning signs and flashing lights that say, hey, this is a bad idea. Halo can be done as a movie, and Halo as a movie is not a bad idea. But Fox and Universal have to look at if it is a safe venture for them to pursue. They have to, by law, make the best choices for their shareholders. And they did.

This might be Microsoft's and Jackson's way of trying to build up buzz for the movie to try and make it seem more appealing to potential financiers and to demonstrate the abilities of this still inexperienced director.

Sorry, I am trying to leave my comment for Huey2k2, but it keeps acting like I chose BNinjaC, which I didn't... I even double checked the comment before posting that is says, "replying to Huey2k2 [Undo]" This sucks

gray and green are close hues, easily confused in certain shades or under certain lighting conditions. this might be the case here.

i always wanted a green xbox, clear green it was nice. never found one though.
