With this game having higher day one sales than any other 360 game it is probably not suprising to see such complaints.
The RROD is to be expected probably because they are taxing the console more than they had recently and with the RROD heat stress related this would be expected.
Obviously if this happens to you and you have been waiting for a long time for the game it could be shall we say a little annoying.
Not terribly shocking. Every large 360 release (Oblivion, Gears, etc) seems to cause a small number of systems to lock up. Unfortunately, with such a large release the problem will appear to be worse.
Its look like Halo 3 is also selling real fast in UK. Retail reports "record breaking" Halo 3 sales.
"Halo 3 has been flying off the shelves this morning," said Gerry Berkley, trading manager for games at Woolworths.
"In the first two hours that our stores were open it sold thousands and thousands of copies, breaking all previous first morning sales records for a computer game.
"If sales continue at this rapid pace, it could end up being the biggest ever first day sales number for an entertainment product, beating any CD, DVD or book that has gone before it," he revealed.
The question is: How big is Halo outside the NA, and how much hyped? The only country with midnight opening was UK. Halo 3 will have decent sale numbers in Europe, but that doesn't come so much from first day sales and will most likely be nothing against those sales in NA.
By the way: We have now reached nearly 1.5 Million.
Halo 3, the much-anticipated Xbox 360 game that launched Tuesday, set the all-time record for most revenue earned in a single day by any entertainment property, Microsoft said Wednesday.
Microsoft has announced that Halo 3 has officially become the biggest entertainment launch in history, garnering an estimated $170 million in sales in the US alone in the first 24 hours.
