Just make sure to check Halo 3's official site and sign up! (Monday 12/04) (Here)

One Time Only
The ad, created by McCann Worldgroup San Francisco, includes a mixture of live action and computer generated animation, will air one time only and will then be made available online worldwide through Xbox Live® Marketplace and Xbox.com.

"Halo is a pop culture phenomenon! The Halo franchise has changed the face of interactive entertainment and it's only fitting that we take an innovative approach to how we market and advertise the brand," said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft Corp. "This invites a new audience with a rich back story, and continues to galvanize gamers around the world for the launch of Halo 3 in 2007."

Beta Testers Wanted
In conjunction with the ad, Microsoft today unveiled further details and an official call to entry for the Halo 3 beta program. Beginning Monday, December 4, visit http://www.halo3.com and register for the opportunity to be one of the select members to join the unprecedented Halo 3 public beta program, scheduled to kick off in spring 2007. Be among the first to experience the most anticipated game of 2007!

The Xbox Live multiplayer public beta, which is a pre-release version of the multiplayer experience of Halo 3, is scheduled for availability in spring 2007 exclusively on Xbox 360. This beta also represents an opportunity for you to participate in the development of Halo 3. Through the resulting feedback, Bungie Studios will be able to further refine and hone the end result of Halo 3.

Unveiled earlier this year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, Halo 3 represents the third chapter in the Halo trilogy, an international award-winning action series that grew into a global entertainment phenomenon, selling more than 14.7 million units worldwide, which equals nearly $700 million in sales, and logging in excess of 800 million hours of multiplayer action on Xbox Live.

Vide Comparison: Motor Storm (PS3)

A new video comparison surfaced yesterday in Gametrailer's videos list, this time comparing one of the Ps3 most anticipated games: Motor Storm. And although I may not get a PS3 anytime soon; I have to admit that before its release, Motorstorm's trailer did left me amazed of what the PS3 could do. So now that Sony's console finally released we can actually compare real gameplay Vs. CGI side by side. Does it look the same?:

"Pimps At Sea " Spotted (Again)

Today, while I was playing Gears Of War (Losing terribly leaving my team with a shameful 8-2 score) I decided to turn off the 360 and let it rest. But why not check what my friends were doing first? BANG! There was it.... "Pimps At Sea" Being played by one of my mates. Sadly I have NO FREAKING clue of what the game is about (Codename of Halo 3 maybe?); I just know that I heard it many many different times from some the Bungie's weekly updates.

Update: Yep, this was in fact the codename for Halo 3 (duhhh)

Here is some evidence of what I saw:
