Sales records, funny reviews and auctions
Halo 2 has set another sales record - 104,000 units in its first week of sales in Australia (beating GTA: San Andreas, which sold about half that its first weekend). This article at Aussie Xbox (thanks, Gossip) said the previous 1-week record was 68,000 units (but doesn't say what game). However you slice it, Microsoft is coming out on top with this one. In other news: This review at the Indiananapolis Star (4 stars, no idea what the scale is) deserves recognition for a nice turn of phrase; they're discussing the controls of Halo 2, and how similar they are to those for Halo - but they say "newcomers shouldn't fret because addiction will lead to a mastery of the controls." Love it! And there's a rather bizarre auction over at eBay right now; Halo 2 LE for $1000. The seller is not trying to fool you - he TELLS you you're getting a $54.99 game: "Please be prudent in your search for Halo 2. They are available EVERYWHERE! But, if you want to throw away your money, please throw it at me." (Louis Wu 16:50:09 UTC)
