Halo 3 shatters retail record; sells $170M in 24 hrs

Microsoft announced on Wednesday that Halo 3 has overtaken Sony's Spiderman 3 as the biggest entertainment launch in history.

In just 24 hours, Halo 3 took in $170 million in total receipts. As a result, Microsoft surpassed its original expectation of $155 million by 10 percent.

The previous record-holder was Sony's Spiderman 3 released in theaters earlier this year. The movie brought in $151 million in single day ticket sales.

"Halo 3 has become a pop-culture phenomenon," said Microsoft's Shane Kim in a statement. "Not only is "Halo 3" setting sales records, it's also redefining entertainment. Within the first 20 hours alone, we've seen more than a million Xbox Live members come online to play Halo 3 -- the most active day in Xbox Live history."

In 2004, Halo 2 set the same record with $125 million in a 24 hour period. Halo 3 retails for $60, $70, or $130 depending on special edition features.

The price is disgusting.  60, 70, or 130?  What in the world, man.  Why juice people so much?  60 bucks is too fucking high, and they've pitched it so that 60 dollars is the bullshit version nobody wants.

All new 360 games are $60. If you don't want th extra stuff that comes with the $70 or $130 versions, don't get it, its that simple.

wtf is the extra stuff?

170 Mill in one day. WOW.

I never understood what´s so special about HALO (maybe cause I never played it lol), I mean it´s a fucking shooter on a console. Shooters on consoles suck.

Mouse/keyboard > any gamepad.


170 Mill is insane though so it has to have something that makes it special.

Bullshit version? The fuck are you talking about? I didn't need a fucking helmet or some DVD showing some dorks going "hey i never get laid look at how i made this map har har har". I just wanted Halo 3 and that's all I got.

I don't understand this. The first 2 games weren't special at all. There have been way better shooters out for PC than those 2. WAY better.
