Talking of Master Chief, Halo 3 has been leaked and it's not even released yet (although Play.com has it in stock, so maybe it has and timezones are confusing me). Much fuss will ensue, although this will impact the anticipatedly GIANT sales not one tinsy bit, I'm sure.
A shaky, six-minute-long video of the final cut scene from Halo 3 was posted on YouTube last week, revealing the fate of Master Chief. Although the spoiler video was pulled from YouTube when Microsoft claimed copyright infringement, it has since been reposted all over the web. Earlier this week a UK retailer broke the street date, selling “a small number” of real copies of the game.
Woops! Apparently, MediaDefender (HA. HA.) has been involved too, hilariously, although their efforts have been amusedly quashed by the MediaDefender-Defenders (oh I love this, I LOVE IT!).
...the source code for MediaDefender’s trapping and decoy software was leaked online through a group called “MediaDefender-Defenders;” both are just the latest in the continuing escalation of content leaks.
Full piece here. Don't watch the spoiler video though.
I have no respect for people who get leaked games just because they can't wait a few days for it to be released. I'm looking forward to Halo 3, but I can wait until Wednesday... Heck, it may even be Friday by the time I get to play it.
