Preorder the Halo 3 Master Chief Kubrick figures



MediaCom's highly collectible Kubrick figures are getting a Halo 3 upgrade. These 2-1/2" tall Spartans, imported from Japan, come in blue, red, green (Master Chief's favorite color), and Active Camo flavors. The four pack will set you back $18 and is scheduled to be available November 2007. If you've already preordered the Legendary edition, what's another $18, right?

Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta: Crackdown Issue Update

Bungie has just provided an update on a solution to the bug that is impeding Crackdown owners from downloading the Halo 3 multiplayer beta:

We're happy to finally announce that the issues being faced with the Halo 3 beta and Crackdown will be resolved shortly. The Microsoft team has found a solution and it's undergoing final testing now.

Assuming the test pass goes according to plan, the fix will come in the form of a Crackdown title update within the next three to six hours.

We understand many of you were eagerly awaiting your chance to jump into the Halo 3 Beta and this technical issue has put a damper on your plans. Thankfully the fix is incoming and we're sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Ultimately we hope this will all soon be a distant memory once you pick up the Spartan Laser, launch yourself from a Mancannon and enjoy online shenanigans with your friends.

As a reminder, people who already have the Halo 3 Beta are unaffected by this issue. We'll keep you posted as soon as we have more information.
