In my opinion, unboxing videos died in 2007, when Brian Lam unboxed (and tossed out the window*) his Halo 3 swag bag. Nonetheless, camcorder-owners have persisted in filming every product launch since… and I mean every product. TechRadar has the list. More »
Lifehacker reader rykennedyan created this customised desktop based on Halo, and even if you’re not a gamer, you’ve got to appreciate the workmanship that went into this. Check out what it can do after the jump. [Lifehacker] More »
Finally a collector’s edition that isn’t complete fanboy exploitation: This “exclusive” controller is bundled in the $US99 collector’s edition of Halo 3 ODST, and it’s markedly less tacky than the original overly glossy Halo 3 pads.

Yesterday we showed you Spider-Pig and Homer made of folders, and today here’s a cool rendition of Day of the Tentacle’s Purple Tentacle taking over a Linux desktop.

Now that the Halo 3 press train has a gut full of coal, one of the big guns they’re whipping out in preparation for the game’s launch is this gigantic diorama, featuring humans and aliens battling it out on the field of sand, cardboard and little rocks.
