Also , its happening in seattle b/c bungie's HQ is literally 20 minutes away from the event. I remember before H2 came out . Bungie had a huge partyat the Seattle Experience Music Project. They had big screens showing people play MP, giveaways and there were letting people play and giving out free snacks. Bungie , Where is the next one!!! [Edited on 08.20.2007 3:47 PM PDT]

Sweet Christ, I knew there was a reason I moved to Portland. I would love to attend this event. Fingers crossed, it'll work out and I can make it up there tomorrow. Even if I have to crash at some dumpy hotel, this is something I definitely don't want to miss. -FW

I RSVP'd and I would be driving from Vancouver, Canada. PLEASE BUNGIE!! 200+ miles!!! PLZ!!!! allow me!!

This better be on the Internet

See.... this event hits me as being incredibly pointless. What is the point from a marketing standing for this show? To demonstrate the finer points of Halo 3 with a random group of lucky locals? Seeing as Halo is a hugely popular and globally distributed property I doubt showing it off like this aids the company in anyway, well at least if you take this news post at face value... Its funny that Bungie choose to tease the entire world like this with only the lucky follows who queue up outside the Imax for hours/days before hand gaining access. Nice how Bungie keeps the interested in the loop.... the same people who I don't know... might find a way to leak a few video, audio or picture files onto the internetz and so sparking yet another media buzz over new Halo 3 stuff, now that'd be some good Marketing!

Too bad I live in Norway :(

So, uh, I'm on the other side of the States. Crap. They should do this in Pittsburgh. There's an IMAX theater there, and I'd drive an hour to see it. Heck, I'd even pay to get in. D:

-
Wow, this sounds seriously awesome. You guys need to go to Orlando, there is a Science Center here with an IMAX screen. I would LOVE to see Halo 3 on IMAX. Too bad you wont be able to film it. I really want to see it. Perhaps this could be a video on the Legendary Edition DVD?

Where's the harm in giving a treat to the fans who practically live in their backyard? In any case, Bungie landed a sexy venue. Who in their right mind would pass up the opportunity to put on an IMAX presentation to promote their new game? -FW

Like I said before "Halo 3 on the IMAX, huge!"
-
It is highly doubtful we will see anything different than what was shown in Australia and everywhere else they were just touring....and anything we get out of the local media is going to be some newspaper/tv coverage from someone who's last game they played was tetris...and it will be the same review we are reading everywhere else on the net. It is not going to provide any more interest in the upper northwest than Halo 3 already is. Its a lame idea with lame motives.

I think bungie planned this to be right after most everyone was in school, middle school and college alike. The best part is though, that it is on the day that I haven't missed yet, so if I decided to drive there in one day, or maybe start off today, I might just make it from Southern Cali!... or I can just piss and moan and then wait for the sneaked videos on youtube.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] swede33 I wish I lived in Seattle! Too bad it can't happen in Denver instead. :([/quote] if only, if only
-
i can only hope that there will be a podcast explaining or a video showing this event of godly proportions.
-
Since this is supposed to be a "public" showing, and Bungie announced it on their website, and it isn't just a bunch of magazines and gaming websites going there, then maybe we'll get a video of everything that was shown. Maybe in the update on Friday... :*(
