That just seems kind of stupid to me. OXM-------Frank Occonor; we should be rolling in Halo 2 goodness.

Actually, OXM sells more than any video game magazine. That is a good question. I expected Halo 2, and recieved Def Jam Vendetta 2. That's a fall from grace.

OXM -- Best selling console magazine EVER.

Hey I donno... :-|

OXM got the first Halo 2 exclusive. It sold more copies than any OXM before or since.

The cover is here.

Much like the Bungie Updates, the love has to be spread.

I think that it is true, they gave it out to get people interested in it who don't have a box. Besides though, from what I've see its all eye candy, Nothing new or interesting about that article that we haven't already heard. the good stuff is coming and it will be in OXM.

Once OXM's official site puts their most current magazine up on the front page, they give a little hint of what's to come in the next issue. So when their site is updated to have Def Jam 2 (bleh), we'll get a little idea of what's coming up next. Hopefully something big, but I'm not holding my breath.

One of the weekly updates said that 2 different magazines were coming in to interveiw Bungie. OXM might still have a Halo2 exclusive.

Don't you guys remember that Frankie said in a previous update that there were two magazines there that week. That means that another mag will have an exclusives some time in the near future. Maybe that other mag is OXM!

OXM might get the next exclusive, but there are a lot of other magazines too, like EGM for one. Any one of them could potentially get the exclusive, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

OXM did have it last time. Anyway, wouldn't you rather have it go to a multiformat magazine which can then woo-over readers who currently play another console or are unaware of Halo's greateness? There's not much point in saying how great a game is exclusively in a magazine where all the readers already know that game is going to be great. Doesn't make good marketing sense.

------YOU CAN'T TAKE A GIRL TO THE LIBRARY!------

because putting it in oxm would be preaching to the converted. game informer is a magazine read by people who own just a gamecube or ps2 so when they are flipping through and see how sweet halo 2 is they will want to go buy a xbox and get ready.

probably. what's better than having someone buy something from you that will help you in the end anyways? plus in frankie's update he said 2 magazines stopped by

If it's discussion, that's fine. Any links to the pages themselves, including a transcription of the pages (in other words, if someone typed the pages out to a post), however, are not allowed.

its a guy who has seen the magazine talks about what he's seen, but it's not copied directly... it's in his OWN words... is that ok?
