No, your own personal avatar, Halo autographed art, shirts, hats, and the little prototype figure. Not all of them, depending on person. I would settle for the B.net hat, a brute figure and the bungie.net shirt. Anyone else second this?

Happy New Year everyone. My first New Year's resolution was to send out avatar prizes.. and I'm happy to report that THEY ARE BEING MAILED TODAY. Seriously. You know it's going to happen because it's now in the hands of our hardworking reliable uber-admin Amanda. All chances of me mucking things up have been removed and your prizes are safely in her hands.

Everyone who won one of the main prizes (and who actually got back to me with a mailing address) can expect their prize to go out today. Consolation prizes for runner-ups haven't been mailed yet as I don't have stuff readily available. We'll see what I can dig up, but since you weren't specifically promised anything, my priority are the winners.

Also, as a small consolation, I've thrown a few extra items into each person's prize package. Does this make up for a 6 month delay? Not really, but I figured it couldn't hurt. Other than that, you'll get the prize that was originally promised to you. The Bungie.net shirts aren't quite the same as the ones for sale online - they have the Bungie.net launch date on them and were created as a commemorative shirt for our internal web team. Unfortunately, sizes are somewhat scarse but I've tried to get you the size you requested or the next closest thing.

Guys, I know this has been pretty crummy to wait this long for your prizes. We've done a number of contests here on Bnet and while we've never been known to get things out "quickly", this instance was inexcusible. Halo 2 development, release and the holidays along with our day-to-day chaos made this slip through the cracks. Yes, stosh was here a while ago and did try to help but then things slipped off the radar again. I wish I could blame this on him, but sadly the blame is my own.

Please accept my apologies for this delay and don't let this taint your willingness to get involved in future Bungie.net contests. We've actually got a few we're cooking up right now and I can assure you the prizes will be received in a reasonable manner. =) Also, we hope to have the ability to issue online gift certificates to the Bungie Store soon, which will help give us a lot more flexibility when it comes to prizes.

Thanks for hanging in there and your continued support of Bungie and Bungie.net!

Sounds good, Sketch. Thanks. (Though it'd sound better if the consolation prizes were en route too :) ... but at least the main prize winners will get their prizes.)

-- Steve has wondered, more than once, if he'd missed the delivery or something. At least he now knows he hasn't.

Well sketch, I may have only played one clan match with you (you may have kicked me out of the clan to boot) but you seemed like a nice guy. Like I said, I understand you are busy, as long as I DO get them, I'm fine. The extra prizes have me in a state of surprize. I'll be entering every contest I can. Only this time the thing I enter will take longer then 20 mins to make ;) .

ONE huge favor, kick some of the top clans as of I know personaly 4/5 out of all of the members of them and know they all cheat, standby, boost, and dummy 95% of the time and are proud of it. My clan LL TD LL may be the only clan at level 23 and up that doesn't cheat besides StK and check 6.

I got mine onf thursday. I'm pleased. I live in Ohio, so you proabably got it b ut they put it on the wrong door. It could have been there for hours and we were gone and I went out to walk my dog at 2am after getting off Halo 2 and walked past the front door (which we used the side purch) and it was sitting there wet. The swag didn't get wet although.
