Details of the Halo 3 US midnight launch party revealed
Despite the cancellation of the Halo 3 party plans in the UK, the all-nighter plans of their US counterpart are still on. US will enjoy four regional events to celebrate Halo 3‘s launch on September 25, and Microsoft already decided to let Halo fans in on the plan.
Aside from 10,000 US retailers opening their doors on midnight for Halo‘s launch, a participating Best Buy store along the 5th Avenue in New York will play host to the launch event that will be broadcast by Spike TV and G4.
In the meantime, the Los Angeles party crowd will be rounded up by the GameStop branch in Universal CityWalk store. Master Chief himself will drop by to make his special appearance, as well as other celebrity guests who will hand out autographs to fans.
Seattle will have their Halo 3 party hosted by another Best Buy outlet, and Circuit City will be in charge of the launch event in Miami. Facilitating the events on both locations are Bungie team members, with Miami Dolphin players Chris Chambers and Joey Porter in charge of entertaining their fans by playing against them and giving autographs.
Interested in taking something home aside from your own Halo 3 copy as a memento of the event? Bungie will hand out giveaways such as Halo Action Clix, trading cards, T-shirts, caps, graphic novels, calendars and soundtracks, figurines, weapon replicas as well as a Halo 3 Zune (whew, that’s a lot!).
See you at the party!
