Xbox 360 fans commend MS customer service, but are fine with console unreliability

Master Chief scares the socks off South Koreans

As we all know, Halo is a big hit in North America. After all, Halo 2 generated $125 million in the first 24 hours of its release back in 2004. So what does Microsoft do to introduce Master Chief in South Korea? Scare their socks off.

Bare ass causes Halo 2 delay

Halo 2 is finally coming out in North America this week. This after a delay caused by nudity, of all things. In May alone, the belated PC sequel was pushed back thrice, but the latest reason takes the cake.
