Worst "leak" Ever

So, we were all awed by the...awesome Halo 3 video that was "leaked" onto Youtube the other night. However, it was probably the worst fake leak in gaming history.

First we have the poor quality Youtube video which was then removed by the user. However, it was saved and appeared on a few more websites in the same quality.

Here's where it gets silly. A bunch of "screenshots" were also leaked onto the internet, after the Youtube video was taken down and of considerably higher quality and resolution. Then a full 7 minute HD version of the video was posted as well. Now, it seems, the guy that did it has had his Xbox Live account closed or something. What a crock of shit.

So, you're telling me that this guy took a HD camera into a beta testing session on Halo 3 and took the footage, seven minutes worth, without a single person maybe asking him what he was doing. He then uploaded his video to Youtube in poor quality, then took it down (to make it look like Microsoft had found out and told him off) BUT then went onto supply a number of web sources with HD movies and screenshots...

Sorry Bungie, but that's the dumbest attempt at "underground" marketing ever. No doubt Frankie will deny it all even exsisted in his next update. Do you think we're stupid!?

On the plus side, I got to laugh and get a bit frustrated with the Halo "haterz" on BXB trying to knock it down...
