Hey you never know.

Spoiler

I need the extra free time to finish Bioshock + some other games anyway

I still can't get over this "believe" BS. It's everywhere now.

OP: "Believe"

For another reference point, Gears of War sold one million copies after two weeks. I think a lot of folks are underestimating this game.

I swear Gahiggidy did it before Drinky. Gahiggidy would always be popping in threads saying shit like "I believe this news" or "This I believe" until finally it was shortened to "believe". I think that Drinky post was more or less making fun of that....among other things.

All which makes "Believe" plastered on Halo merchandise even more hilarious.

 

[The Elite]

Heheh, I like how everything Halo related in real life is unhealthy...

...but I suppose it's a perfect match, considering the game is digital crack for most people...

It scares me how big Halo really is. How often do you see this sort of marketing associated with a video game.

DO YOU BELIEVE?

The slightest breeze will knock that cup right onto your PSP.

 

[Karma Kramer]

DO YOU BELIEVE?

:lol

Why have I never seen this?

 

[∀ Narayan]

Pre-ordering the Legendary edition, tomorrow.

 

[Core407]

When Halo 2 came out I guess.

And when America stopped liking games that aren't shooters.

Japan has its RPGs and we have our shooters.

The Forerunners are NeoGAF.

Beelieve!

I think he was more inspired by an interview close to that E3.

When asked if gamers should believe Hideo Kojima when he promised Snake was the only playable character in MGS3, he responded "Believe" .

 

[dejay]

I believe they're selling a special version of that cup with holes in the bottom.

They're calling it "The Flood" cup.

 

[RiskyChris]

Epic lulz.

OMG :lol

He's got a good voice. But still. :lol

:lol :lol

I don't know why, but that's the funniest thing I've read all night, I think I need sleep. Also the Halo threads on this board scare me now, bailing before we're at 20 pages.

did you get his autograph?

[DeadTrees]

The result is Mountain Dew Game Fuel, which adds the taste of cherry to the original Mountain Dew's citrus flavor, along with 30% more caffeine.

"Mountain Dew Game Fuel. If the flavor doesn't kill you..."

 

[urk]

OMG :lol

He's got a good voice. But still. :lol

You hadn't seen that? It was from one of the pentathlons. Frankie uploaded that to B.net.

1 million pre-orders at this point simply confirms for me that college kids and spoiled pre-teens have more disposable income for games this time around.

I can confirm this.

Rated M. The parents have the disposable income.

That's my dad.

Huh? Wallace Shawn is your dad?

 

[Wile E Bud]

DO YOU BELIEVE?

that was awsome. marty is god

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I don't care how big of a fan of a specific game you are, if you are genuinely psyched over game marketing of the type and micro-macro scale of your typical blockbuster movie release, then there is something wrong with you.

 

[mm04]

holy fucking crap @ the cup

Wow. Spike that fucker into the ground when your done like a shield grenade. That must be like 100 grams of sugar at least.

 

[watership]

Damn, how many burgers can you fit inside that cup? Get the catheter ready.

It's like a Hoegaarden glass. It only looks big.

 

[Odysseus]

do you want fries with that?

 

[Y2Kev]

You should be able to buy diet only in that cup, holy CRAP.

 

[Alcander]

I hope they give GAF a shoutout in the "special thanks" section of the credits!

Wait, Halo 3 items on a bag of apples, amirite?

The next person to claim Halo is not "the kiddy" gets a punch in the mouth...

Bobble-head Arbiter for kid's meals confirmed?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

That's my dad.

Wow, really? Wallace "Manhattan" Shawn? Your dad is fucking AWESOME.

Also, more evidence stacks up in support of my lurvely gif everyday:

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Well it's 1 million pre-order in the US alone. The rest of the world SHOULD have close to another 500K to that figure.

Give another month and a bit of pre-orders to come, plus day one sales (not EVERYONE pre-orders, most of those pre-orders would be legendary) andI reckon it could clear 3 million day one worldwide.

Dude, a small child could use that monstrosity as a wading pool.

 

[MonkeyLicker]

Huh? Wallace Shawn is your dad?

That's who comes by my house once a year (Christmas) and has sex with my mom and beats me. I think so, yeah.

 

[D3MO]

What happened to EBGames/Gamestop 4 MILLION HALO 3 Pre-orders....lol

 

[urk]

And a side of fries.

 

[Karma Kramer]

Also, more evidence stacks up in support of my lurvely gif everyday:

[MonkeyLicker]

It's a toss up between him and Frankie.

Ok, I lied.
I just wanna be loved damn it!

 

[Evlar]

microsoft japan reports 50 there.

Famitsu reported some interest in their latest poll, so you can triple that.

 

[D3MO]

microsoft japan reports 50 there.

MS Europe reports 25,000....


HALO is only popular in the US of A...and Canada...but since Canada is US of A's Hat it doesn't count

Canada is not amused. We'll be sending Celine Dion to your home.

Oh man. I was all excited.

 

[Odysseus]

actually, halo 3 should be a relatively big seller (for an xbox game, mind you) in japan. halo 1 and 2 didn't do terribly there, i think.
