PS; I F**king hate you all.

Look at it this way, next time you play your 360 you'll have Forza, Bioshock to play with GTA4 and HALO3 out soon

the countdown is just representative of one timezone. Whoever said 8am sounded right for irish time i think?

How do you work that one out? If it's 15 hours to go in one timezone it's 15 hours in all the timezones.

Smellyirishman

Yeah, plus Blue Dragon.

I will also have a 4th year of college .

Can I just rent Crackdown in Xtra-Vision and get the Beta?

I meant the time we get it at, is it 8am?

kensutz

If it's 15 hours to go it's 15 hours to go worldwide.

Smellyirishman

How long does the beta last?

I know this, just too ****ing lazy to work out the time.

3 weeks smelly and the download starts at 1 pm our time.

evad_lhorg

stop asking all these gay questions like how long does it last and stuff. google tells all.

You need to play the beta through crack down as well I think

Well thats good nearly ****tng myself thinking I missed it:D

Ciaran500

Thats because most of Europe is 1 hour ahead of UK and Ireland. Its meant to be up now.

kensutz

It's supposed to be up now

Zapp Brannigan

What was the point of having a countdown if they didnt put it up at 0?

ntlbell

there's a heap of irish lads on my list playing it now..must be up

kensutz

It's not

chrislad

It's not up in the UK now either, judging by other forums.

Gonna be a lot of dissapointed peeps if you didnt like Halo 1 or 2 and automatically think its goin to be "Best Game Ever"....

kensutz

Folks are reporting problems downloading the Halo 3 Beta via Crackdown this morning. We have alerted the appropriate Live authorities and they are taking care of the problem as we speak. More news as it comes in

Zapp Brannigan

LOL gotta love Bungie throwing the blame at MS.

Scruff

well in fairness if ye were expecting the release to go smoothly with so many people wanting to download it ye're a bit out of touch with reality.

Thats the thing... Was never really into Halo 1/2. I've no idea what to expect.. Think GOW and TC: Las vegas are brilliant games, it'd need to be along those lines for me to like it... Sure, whenever its sorted i'll download it n give it a try... Off to buy foods for dinner. What will i have.?.

Moojuice

Enjoyed Halo 1 (on Pc) havent played Halo 2, but they are just FPS games. Nothing really original about them but Ill probably get it when it comes out to see what its like. I honestly cannot understand the hype around Halo.
