After 6 months of a somewhat boring look (and not many visitors) I have decided to give the blog a name change and face lift. Formally Gaming Unlimited, the blog is now called 360 Unlimited. As of late the news stories have been slow coming but you should see an increase in stories posted soon! I have also added a poll to the right to see how you all like the new look, so go vote!
Much like Willy Wonka's golden ticket, Halo 3 has gone gold. Bungie Studios has confirmed that the next game in the stellar franchise is indeed headed off to be manufactured. With a bit over three weeks until launch, one has to ask "why so early?" Certainly Bungie does not need three weeks to get discs shipped around the world right? Wrong. With over a million pre-orders it may just take three weeks to print and ship copies of the game to world consumers. With the launch of Halo 3 aiming to be one of the biggest media launches of all time Microsoft needs all the extra time it can get to finalize preparations for September 25th.

The title is now planned for release in the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2008"
In a not so surprising move, Bungie finally unveiled that their will in fact be 4 player coop for Halo 3 over Xbox Live. Not only that, but the 3 other players are not replicas of Master Chief! Player 1 will still play as the man himself, player 2 as Arby, player 3 and 4 both as two new elites complete with backstories! Head over to Bnet to see all of the bios. This just adds more to the long list of features continuing to add replay value to the final game in this great franchise. See you on Live September 25th!

This image was taken at Microsoft's E3 rehersal for their E3 keynote tonight at 8:30pm PST. What you may notice is what looks to be a gray Xbox 360 along side the other 3 consoles. Know their is debate whether it is actually gray or just in a shadow, but for sure the question remains; Gray or not, why are their 4 360's?
