Delirium Propaganda

Halo 3 is here, people are gaming and I can’t join in since I don’t have an Xbox. That sums it up pretty nicely. I wanted to know what was the big deal with Halo 3 so went searching for information around the net and this is what I got.

Microsoft can rejoice. Soldier Master Chief has come back from the battlefield with $170 million dollars in the first 24 hours of sales in the United States, making it the biggest day in US entertainment history, beating Spider Man 3 and all Harry Potter movies. Not bad, it looks like Microsoft has moved from building crappy operating systems to creating excellent games. I’m sure many IT professionals will not only encourage this migration but lend a helping hand if needed. The game was made by Bungie Studios with a development budget of a little more than $60 million. It is predicted that another $15 million to $20 million in television marketing will be spent promoting the game.

Conclusion, I still won’t by an Xbox just to play Halo 3.
