Australia Loves Halo 3
Like just about everywhere else in the world, The Return of the King [http://www.halo3.com].
Over 50,000 copies of the game had been sold in the first 24 hours of its release, bringing in $5.3 million in sales and handily beating the $4.7 million earned by Return of the King in the first day of its 2003 release. While the numbers are minuscule compared to the Xbox [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/77341-Halo-3-Sets-New-First-Day-Sales-Record]360 owners bought this game on its first day."
Even Australian Prime Minister John Howard got in the action, appearing at a youth center in Sydney to donate an Xbox 360 bundle. Howard took the opportunity to try out the game for himself, talk a little smack and hopefully raise his profile and score some political points with young voters as he faces an election before the end of the year. A four-term Prime Minister, Howard is facing increasing discontent with his leadership as he approaches his quest for a fifth mandate.
