You may notice something strange about this episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. A thought might creep into your mind that it is missing a certain maple flavor. You may come to think that there is an overwhelming lack of hockey (or hockey's bastard cousin, curling). Should any such thoughts occur to you, know this: our resident Canadian is missing. But no worries, he'll be back later this week with lots of Halo 3 beta talk. Speaking of the Halo 3 beta, this week's episode is chock-full of creamy Halo 3 beta goodness. We also take some time to talk Shadowrun and J Allard's new 'do. Download at your convenience below.Get the podcast

Has it ever occurred to you guys there is more that happened in the last week that does not involve Halo? I might skip this one. No mention of the fact that Saints Row ain't coming to the PS3 just Halo.. Bravo..... I understand that this is a big deal to you all but its a friggin' beta. This means you are playing an incomplete version of the game. That's like me asking to play a beta of GTA IV that is going to be full of bugs and not featuring everything that the game has to offer me as well it will be incomplete. But whatever. It's your site and not mine... Looking back at your last 12 posts now I think you should call your site halo3betafanboy.com.

So far, "Your 360 died of old age and old age for a 360 is about...um...6 months" lol
and it's pronounced Enn Guy, Richard.

I've said this before but all hyped about games will almost always have tons of coverage, but now suddenly that the game is Halo, people are complaining. I didn't see anyone complain about Gears when it was coming out.

Sorry to see Knuckles absence, it'll be missed, when I listen to the podcast tonight.

Get a grip. If it wasn't for Halo, the old Xbox might have failed, and the 360 may never have come to be. We owe a bit of gratitude to Bungie for creating one of the best damn FPS to ever grace a console. Halo to the xbox is like what GTA is to Playstaytion, oh wait...I mean Devil May Cry, opps, that's gone too, ok FFXIII or MGS to the Playstation (at this time). They are important franchises to the console, and if you think the "Halo Fanboys" are in the minority or that an xbox 360 fansite has too much Halo news, perhaps you should check out the number of pre-orders for this game. It's huge, it'll break H2's record, and most importantly it's pertenant news for this fansite.

Um... that would be PS3 news, not 360 news.
"That's like me asking to play a beta of GTA IV that is going to be full of bugs and not featuring everything that the game has to offer me as well it will be incomplete."
Only, the Halo 3 beta gives you a pretty good idea of what will be in the final game. Not to mention, Halo 3 is insanely hyped up, and the chance to play what is arguably the best aspect of the game before it's released? That's awesome.
"Looking back at your last 12 posts now I think you should call your site halo3betafanboy.com."
Yeah! Out of the last 12 posts, five have been about Halo 3... in a time where the beta has just been released to Richard... man, you guys are obsessed!

o and i am getting both shadow run and halo 2 vista. Im getting H2 vista because it has a higher resolution, i can now chat with people on my friends list on 360 from my computer and it has achievements plus 2 new maps and a map making mode but how ever i will be using a 360 controler to play it. As for shadow run i think it will truly be a great game with alot to offer and im willing to give it a try. Magic+Guns+summoning creatures sounds cool to me.
