Bungie Only Lives Twice
Frankie filed the Weekly What's Update this week from the floor of the Tokyo Game Show, after getting blitzed on martinis. Wait, that's not right.
Frankie was there just to catch up on other Microsoft games and stuff he likes-- he mentions Phantagram's Ninety Nine Nights (as a lot of people are doing this week)
In Bungie-related news, the move to Kirkland is complete and Bungie held their Summer Pentathlon-- those events will get written up (hopefully) in next week's Update.
Microsoft Is Turning Japanese... It Really Thinks So
The Tokyo Game Show, going on right now, is where Microsoft is beginning its efforts to try and prove to Japanese audiences that the Xbox is a console worth buying. Major Nelson has put the keynote address including Microsoft's Robbie Bach into his blogcast this week (as usual, in MP3 and WMA formats).
Get Psyched For Myth Tournament 2005
Over in MBO's Asulym forum, there's details from Psyched, including rules and brackets, for Myth Tournament 2005 (which is actually being played with Myth II). Thanks Gholsbane for the heads-up.
Games.net Harshes On Halo Again
Sidney Shuman's article Five Ways to Save Video Games at Games.net holds up Halo and Halo 2 as examples of some of the worst trends in gaming; namely, unoriginal plotlines, epic ambitions, spectacle over substance, and cinema envy. Oh, and then there's "treating women like whores" which is apparently the only industry sin the Halo franchise isn't guilty of... yet.
Xbox 360 Manufacturing Has Begun
Next Generation quotes Jonathan Hayes of Microsoft as saying that manufacture of the Xbox 360 console began on last Wednesday, September 7.
Will The Real Prophet Of Regret Please Stand Up
Halo 2 trickster extraordinaire Vernon "vshields ash" Shields has spent an enormous amount of time-- literally hundreds of hours-- exploring the depths of the infinite enemies scenario at the end of the level Regret, to try and see if anything different happens. So far, he's seen quite a bit. Through object overload, he's made Regret disappear (as well as other enemies, visual effects, and bits of furniture) as well as made over a hundred of the Prophet's chairs appear out of thin air.

Japanese Market Won't Get Xbox 360 Core
Buried in the news about Microsoft's global launch of the Xbox 360 console starting this November was the revelation that unlike the controversial two-tiered pricing system in the US, where the unit without the hard drive is $300, and the unit with the hard drive and some extras is $400, the Japanese market will get a single configuration-- fully loaded, with the hard drive, for less than $350.
MS Announces Official Xbox 360 Launch Dates
Microsoft's "simultaneous" worldwide release has morphed into a more logistically manageable sequence of three staggered launches: November 22 in North America, December 2 in Europe, and December 10 in Japan. The New York Times has the story. (Use the username/password rampancy/rampant if you don't have an account--Ed.)
A C0ld Day In Halo
Halo Arena has put up an interview with c0ld vengeance, creator of Halo movies (including Haliens and Predator) and overlord of the HBO Helljumpers clan.
