August 8th happenings.

Moved to META. - Avateur

In a recent email posted on Joystiq.com, Microsoft made mention that something would be arriving at Gamestop locations on August 8th. This material is apparently street dated, and is apparently highly sensative, given the wording of the email.

Since August 8th is 8 days before the next servers are projected to open...could it be the next clue for the servers?

Keep your eyes peeled, your energy swords at the ready...and watch for new happenings at your local gamestops!

Am I RIGHT marines?!

strong possibility it's the official xbox 360 price drop announcement. It's been speculated and reported on all over the place, so it's all but official at this point.

[the new one]

Sir yes Sir! And I ain't a greenhorn Sir!

So.. most likely the price drop is for US only, right?

Please keep the the ARG.

My prediction is that it could be an upcoming game like Bioshock and coincidentally have a url completely unrelated to Bioshock. I wouldn't be surprised that they would be that sneaky.

Aug 8 is when the first Halo Uprising comic comes out, isn't it? Maybe there will be something in the comic that is ARG related . . .

Actually, it comes out the 15th. Source: http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?book_id=7013

The ad could be for the comic, its exactly 1 week before comic launch!

they changed it again? It was supposed to be out already but they shifted it to the 8th, now it's the 15th... *sigh*

Here's my projected timeline. By no means is this official or anything.

August 8th - New add relating to ARG is released at GameStops, possibly hyping the comic or Halo 3 release. New clue is entrenched within.

August 15th- EXACTLY one week later from above, the first comic is released and Servor 4 starts accepting keys. This date fits in with newly revised moon chart thread projections for the next opening.
