Halo 3 Mania On The Streets of New York

I have to admit, I'm not into the whole video games madness, but I couldn't just pass this long line down the block without snapping a picture. Hundreds of people occupied the street in the wait for midnight release of Halo 3 for Xbox 360.

"The Halo series, set in a future when humanity is battling a hostile alien race, has sold more than 14.8 million copies since its debut in 2001, making it one of the most successful game franchises. The last major game in the series, Halo 2, set a record in 2004 for first-day sales of any entertainment product, generating more than $125 million in the United States in its first 24 hours." (NY Times)

We will wait and see if Halo breaks the record tomorrow.

 

UPDATE::HALE 3 BRINGS IN $170 MILLION IN FIRST 24 HOURS!
