The answer to the ilovebees countdown may not be that it Halo 2 will ship that day. Today I recieved the newest edition of the Official Xbox Magazine. I skimmed through it and found something interesting. In the back there is an advertisement for "THE BOG HOLIDAY PREVIEW GUIDE," and it says that it has "Tons of screenshots and every detail on: Halo 2, Splinter Cell 3, Doom 3, and so on. As cool as it is, the thing that cought my eye was that it is "On Newsstands AUGUST 24!" The very same day the countdown ends. I believe this is what the countdown is for. It makes a lot of sense. There is probably no way Halo 2 could ship the 24th. Also, OXM is in love with Halo and Halo 2 and Bungie therefore. So my guess is that they sparked a deal to have new screeenshots, maybe stuff on the story, and tons of other important stuff. It makes perfect sense. Put it this way. I am buying that thing the day it comes out and I hope I'm right, because an earlier Halo 2 means a worse Halo 2. You guys Agree?
