Now that the
Halo 3 beta has been over with for over 72 hours, some statistics for those number crunchers out there to feast upon. First off, with 820,000 unique gamertags playing online, that's a lot of copies of
Crackdown, probably well over 750,000 after you deduct the initial beta registrants, 13,333 "Rule of 3" winners, and Friends and Family testers. Those gamers also logged
twelve million hours of play time in the three weeks, with 350 terabytes of data being transfered across live, from downloading the beta, as well as possibly bandwidth for games, and file share movies. Either way, that's pretty impressive.

The most impressive statistic to me was "1,400 years of continuous play by one person". Thats alot.
I think Bungie got everything they wanted out of the Halo 3 Beta and more...

I'm sorry that my 360 died on June 1st, 2007!! It would have been more!! This only proves that Halo 3 will be the MOST played game on LIVE or any where else!!

VGChartz isn't exactly dead-on accurate or reliable.

Wow, I can't even comprehend that. 1400 years is obsurd. How many people was it? 35,000?

Hey Massive, you wouldn't happen to be trolling would you? Now for some real tears, stay tuned for the NPD numbers this Thursday, I'm sure the ps3 will be under the 100,000 mark once again.

well I know I didnt really add much to those numbers. By their numbers, the average beta player played 14 hours.... I dont think I played 5. Some people must have logged some serious hours into it.

Let me get this right Massive, you complain about how lame Halo and 360 is, try to direct us to a ps3 site that we probably can't afford to navigate, and then show us numbers of the ps3 getting smoked in all territories, exept the 360 doesn't beat it in Japan, the Wii does though. The best part is almost as many people played the beta, as bought PS3's, burn....
