Okay, not sure if you guys know about this or not, but Microsoft is doing a sweepstakes for the Halo 3 release. All you do is put your info in, register one time for each round (3 rounds total) and hope you win. Only requirement is that you have to have a valid Gamertag (waaaaaa, I don't have one).
