And the exciting release is.... nothing? Well, at least it's better than frogger.

Interestingly, I remember there was also a no-release week when crackdown released, also associated with Halo 3.

I'm kind of glad nothing was released, since it would've been suicidal to any game. Halo 3 would have suffocated everything in its path.

MS should consider doing these kind of price drops whenever super huge games come out. I think it would be kind of win-win for everyone.

I'm not surprised there is no game this week.

I actually still haven't picked up Halo 3 yet. I pre-ordered it about 8 months ago and at that point was completely jazzed about it, but as time passed, I started to care less and less for some odd reason. I'm still not sure why I stopped caring about it, because I spent plenty of time with Halo 2, but...I don't know -- just not feeling it this time.

I'll tell you what, though. Ever since Halo 3's recent release, every game I've played online has a steep decline in people playing, which ain't a surprise I'm sure. I play alot of skate., and Bomberman Live online and while in skate. it is a tad harder to find games, they can still be had. But in Bomberman's case, it's a fucking barren wasteland now.

I've got the cool, superb Legendary Edition. It has a totally black Halo 3. The box art is the same but now with a black filter and the box is actually black. The box shines nicely when in a right angle. But, the box isn't seethrough like the original green Xbox 360 box. The box is actually just almost a box of a computer game. But cool still.

The Legendary Edition includes:

*A box what can be made as a poster if you'll open it. It has a MC pic inside and the 'original Halo 3 theme blue laser' outside.

*A cool stand for totally three discs (probably ment to include Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3) but the stand includes boxes 'Halo 3' and 'Halo 3 Essentials' with two discs (so the LE has two Halo 3 game boxes)

*A hood with the Halo 3 logo which covers the helmet (I actually took my gamerpicture of the hood's logo by my Xbox Live camera)

*And the helmet. It's square-shaped inside so you can't put it to your head. And it's a slice smaller than it should. But a nice addition anyways.

It didn't have the figurine somewhy. Probably only some stores sell also the figurine. But who cares, not a big deal.

I wouldn't have personally bought the Legendary Edition with this budjet. But my brother is richer than me. So he bought it. But I do prefer the Legendary Edition the most especially if you've got also Halo and Halo 2. Then you can put your trilogy inside MC's head!

Do any of you XBLA experts know how long the streak of releasing at least one game every Wednesday was when they broke it last Wednesday?

So that's 32 weeks in a row, right?

Wow.
