American Express-SavingsA Halo release that will be playable on the PS3
The success of the Halo franchise has been incredible. So much so, it was only a matter of time before we'd see a movie. Microsoft plans on releasing a seven-part series spanning from its origins to the game's third installment, titled Halo Legends.
The announcement was made at the 2009 Comic-Con in San Diego. The series will be available for download via Xbox Live this fall. According to Blu-ray.com we can expect to see this on Blu-ray sometime in 2010, so there will finally be a disc labeled Halo that will play on the PS3 for all the Halo fans.
However, since the Xbox 360 doesn't support Blu-ray, it makes you wonder if Blu-ray is in the 360's future? Or maybe the next-gen Xbox? Regardless, you kind of have to to hand it to Microsoft for wanting the fans of the Halo franchise to truly experience this mini series on the best media that's out today.

I wouldnt play this halo even when its a movie on a ps3.
I really have played halo since it firs came out and i dont see whats the buzz about, maybe i just dont get it...(played it on my friends 360 thats not in hell with millions of other RROD)
I dont see where is it that halo excels to the point where it has been or was the driven point in the xbox enviroment. It plays like any other ftp, the creatures are no better than cod2, the maps are shady, no big thing going on there, the guns are imaginary........ the story is a leap from another leap, and so on.......
Basically, i dont want/need halo on ps3, no graphical strengh, an nothing more in the table........
where did you get the beta for MAG???????
I just hope 255 buy the game, cause i will lol.
im dying to play that game and I was bummed to find out they were keeping it for next year.......
Share codes please!!!
"Those who bash another system do it because....
a) they cant afford to buy it but would if they could
b) are not sure their system can stand on its own
c) are along with everyone else and bash it because it sucks and the sales numbers show it. (XBOX 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS dont fall into this one)
You need to take your doctrine somewhere else.
We here are ps3 owners that were drawn to this article because it implied "that could be played on a ps3".
We are not showing hatred, its ok not to like game; and its also ok to comment about it.
So, pack your bags, and hit the rode jack this ain't pay per view...
The multiplayer sessions with so many players is still iffy in gameplay IMO.....its hard enough to get 16-32 people to play well together......getting teams of 8 to coordinate with a ton of other teams of 8 not to mention squad commanders.......just not sure consoles are meant for intricacies of BATTLEFIELD: 2142. Also....i cannot state how horrible the MAG server performance has been during the beta period with them off more than on. But that may be more a result of the always 50/50 performance of the PSN. (Note: I have FIOS 50MB....it is not a case of problems with my connection).
I loved Zipper's SOCOM games......but until they make headsets and voice communication mandatory (or something to get people to communicate more) for games like MAG (like was with SOCOM).....I'm still questioning how good the multiplayer experience can be.
Did you really just use the term 'Crapbox'?!?! hahahahahaha... lame!
@Ihgreb, do i really need to answer your question? or do you not trust your own eyes?
so tell me how is that PS3.....Play B3hind?????? ya like that $300 + blu ray player that sux online and everywhere else?
and.....lil yankee....funny name....imaginary you say? so whats MGS4? real? thats a leap at best.
anyway.....a Halo movie in bluray? all of ya ps fanbiatches better run out and buy it....cuz thats all that machine is good for.
Lol superjay we both know M$ funds this website, if not they should. And the 360 should be hated. It's crashing while the PS3 is beginning to soar... why? Bc the PS3 did not rush. like M$ did and it made something worthy of being called a next gen.
@ d-keller I think you love me because you seem to be following me around. Anyway I never implied that people were dumb. Some are just narrow minded like you buddy. This article only had one purpose and that was to chastise the 360 for not having blu-ray because you could not play a blu-ray version of a halo cartoon on the system. It's a non issue. It's not even a game it's a cartoon. Who cares if a 360 can play a halo cartoon.
(THANK YOU !)
*Fixed*
And I don't think MS would cut a deal with their biggest competitor to but a Blue-Ray drive in their console.
You made the title sound like it was a Halo game that's playable (ie a GAME) on a PS3
but its actually a movie on blu-ray. How retarded
Well, you win. I took the bait and posted an irked-sounding comment. Congratulations. Now I can go on reading about tech news, not a poorly acted movie that looks like it was drawn over a decade ago.
Now the HALO anime movie on Blu-Ray. It's a ..CARTOON.. people. So what. The X360 can play Blu-Ray movies. Not directly , but it can play them. Those of you who are Fans will definitely watch the movie. Others out of curiosity will also watch it too. Some will download it for free off the internet (just like the Blu-ray movies are done).
M$ and BUNGIE have made HALO an icon in the gaming industry. HALO sales since day one have broken all kinds of records that SONY can't even match. Name one game that's on the PS3 that has outsold HALO3? Also name one game on the PS3 that has matched or Broken HALO3 sales record. answer..NONE. The game is still selling. Like it or not, That's just the FACTS. They have a franchise market for halo like toys, T-shirts, Costumes, Posters, Novels, etc.... Hell they now have a comic book for the series by Marvel, which is now owned by Disney.
So you can talk all the crap you want about HALO. I've yet to see SONY do with a PS3 game that M$ has done with HALO on the X360.
