are you talking about gizmotos bag?
If that's the name for the Halo 3 Press Kit then yes.

Does anyone know what was in the Halo 3 Press Kit? I saw it in the OP as a rumor, but I have no idea what it contains.
Yeah, I was wondering that too. I tried to find out but I couldn't find anything.

Most likely it's a Demo-ish version of Halo 3, with some extra Discs and inserts. These were only given to a few gaming news companies, so they're pretty rare.


That would be pretty cool. Something like that would go unopened right into a storage box in my closet.
Same here. I don't think I'd open it.

Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

I'd open it. How could someone just leave that there un-opened....you'd eventually go crazy and open it anyways, right?

Depends how much self-control you have. It's the same idea as getting a super rare Trading Card and never opening it.

I know the original Halo 3 press pack came with a free Halo edition console. I doubt that will be included in the bag.

I think I'd be fine. It's not like I don't know anything about Halo 3 and wanted to see what kind of tidbits are in there. There's probably nothing in the kit I wouldn't already know about/have seen, so it'd be getting put away.

Well, the one thing is, why wouldn't you open it? It's not like you are going to sell it on ebay anyways and I'm pretty you'd want to know what the heck is in it.

go on youtube and type in opening of swag (and apology). This guy gizmoto is funny. theres a long story behind the whole thing. lets just say he opened the bag and threw everything a broke some veryyyyy rare stuff. i dont mind but a lot of fanboys got mad so he made this video. It so funny

I wouldn't open it because of the rarity of the item. When opened, it stands the chance of having parts become lost or damaged.

IDK, I guess if you're a really huge fan you'll appreciate the collector value of it sealed. I know a lot of people that collect various things and never open some of the rarer items.

I have a credit card and all it's info saved to my Amazon account, but when I tried a test-check out of another item it didn't give me the option to select the previously entered card. How do I make this happen? Anyone?

Just an hour and a half left!!!
My heart is pumping faster with each minute that passes.

If I dont get just one! (Preferably 2 more for my friends that have to work today) I might kill myself!.... Actually thats a little extreme over a Swag Bag, maybe just severe dismemberment.

I just watched that. I know the console and Legendary edition are definitely not going to be in the swag bags, but I wouldn't mind getting the actual press kit(the black box he pulled out of the Legendary helmet), or the MREs, or any of the smaller items.

That's odd. Try re-adding the card?

That is the Halo 3 Swag Bag, which has a Press Kit in it.
The Press Kit Bungie gives us wont include all those items.

The video made me laugh and cry at the same time. :P

So I'm determined to get a Bag o' Swag- I had to have my mother write down her credit card number for me since she can't leave it here, and I'm too young to legally have my own. :P I'm honestly freaking out about all the possibilities- of course, I'm just about sure I won't get lucky, but I can hope, right? Oh well, F5ing time again!

Anyone know if the Bungie Store or Amazon will update first? Should I watch both, or will they update at the same time.

  • 06.30.2011 8:49 AM PDT

Probably Amazon...

It should be simultaneous, but I would just stay on Amazon. You go to the amazon page to checkout anyway.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Anyone know how much it would cost to buy two and ship to the UK?

A friend of mine without a card has asked me to buy one for him. I understand it is just over $72 for one, so say about $114?

about $114.

Each pound is $4. Two bags contain a total of 6 pounds, so that's $24. Plus an additional base shipping fee of $30, so that's $54 altogether. Plus the $60 for both bags.
