Microsoft has officially unveiled the cavalcade of festivities it has planned for the launch week of Halo 3. Officially dubbed "Unite to Fight," the launch week of Halo 3 is set to feature a ton of special activities and promotions including 3 days of free Xbox Live Gold for everyone, a chance to win a custom Pontiac G6 GXP Street Edition, Play & Win contests, special Marketplace goodies, and gaming sessions with Bungie and celebrities. Halo 3 will even be getting its own car in NASCAR. On top of all this, special midnight sales events will be happening all over the U.S., with events planned in Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and Miami (Florida, not Oklahoma). The special events will play host to Halo 3 Game with Fame sessions and chances to win free swag. The events take place at the following locations:
- New York City – Best Buy, 529 5th Ave, New York, NY, 10017
- Seattle – Best Buy, 457 120th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98005
- Los Angeles – Gamestop, 1000 Universal Studios Blvd, Universal City, CA 91608
- Miami – Circuit City, 8575 Northwest 13th Terrace, Miami, FL 33126

lol, if Bioshock gets game of the year then something is terribly wrong with the people that choose. There are so many better games, Halo 3 being one of them. How many times can you play Bioshock? Once.....maybe twice? No multiplayer? I didn't even find the game that enticing to begin with, lost interest killing the same infected people over and over again.
I'd take Halo 3 anyday, not even a question.

I found Bioshock to only be "ok" and that's about it. Playing through the game and even shooting the guns seemed like to much of a chore than real fun. Doubtful it will get game of the year unless there is some conspiracy about Take Two having it's turn to shine in the developer community via false press/reviews.

But anyway, I wish they'd bring an event to New Orleans or Baton Rouge out here in Louisiana. One of our 50 different gamestops in Baton Rouge has over 3000 preorders, insane. The weird thing is they keep taking them until Microsoft says to stop.
