With the pre-launch marketing I posted about the other day, I noticed this yesterday right outside Taipei Main Station (named so because this stop is where all forms of transportation intersect in Taipei):
Yep. Only a multi-billion dollar company like Microsoft with unlimited amounts of cash can launch a game everywhere across the world all at the same time.
The stage shown above just repeated the Halo 3 trailer over and over. Nothing live or I might have missed it.
I was really disappointed with the swag. There wasn’t anything free. Once you buy a copy of the game, then you get a crappy bag with one of those imprinted pictures that look like it will fade in 3 washes.
And now for more pictures of the Taipei launch:
And yes, the main station always has horrible traffic as you see in the pictures above.
