Talk about a cool case. This (above pic) is the new controller and game holder for the upcoming Halo 3. It makes one feel as if they were in the middle of a space war! It’s a very cleaver design, though personally I do not play Halo, my geeky friends will be all over this one.

Jasman Toys is releasing Halo 3 replica weapons so realistic they might get your kids arrested. They have lights, recoil, infrared sensors to register "hits," and vents that open when the device "overheats." I’m putting those in quotes because I’m assuming–assuming, mind you–that it’s all simply simulated. $119 for the Plasma Rifle and $79 for the Pistol. They’re Covenant weapons, which will mean most to Halo fans.

Microsoft has announced its new Halo 3 themed Xbox 360 console. It doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary from the original Xbox 360, except express the excitement, dedication, and affection that one feels when one’s thoughts are consumed by one’s favorite video game. The console comes with 20 gigs of memory, play & charge kit, and matching green and yellow Halo 3 Special Edition headset and wireless controller. Game not included. The console will begin shipping in September and is priced at $350-560. Happy gaming!

Tests for the Halo 3 Beta have now come to a finish and the results proved to be very successful. More than 820,000 users played the beta and played an equivalent of 12 million hours online.

The most interesting attraction was the new saved-film feature, which gave players the ability record their games and share them over Xbox LIVE. As a result, more than 580,000 saved films created by users.

With the release date looming closer and closer, XBox has several items in store for new players, including the limited edition Halo 3 wireless controllers (AU$89.95), as well as the headset (AU$69.95).

What do you get when you cross Microsoft’s Xbox 360 with Todd McFarlane? You get the above high-quality, scratch and wear resistant plastic controllers plus a limited edition Halo 3 figurine to boot. And all for $59.99 – each, that is.
