PC - Halo 2 - Universal and Fox Pull Plug on Halo Movie Hollywood trade journal Variety reported on October 19:

It's game over for Universal's and Fox's participation in the feature adaptation of Microsoft's Halo.

Both studios that agreed to co-finance the Halo movie have abruptly backed out of the project after Microsoft and the filmmakers (Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, etc.) refused to reduce their profit participation. The movie budget was rising above the original projected $135 million and rumored to approach $200 million. Microsoft demanded an up-front payment of $5 million for the film right to be made on October 15, a further payment of 10 percent of gross, and a screenwriter (Alex Garland) and a first-time director (Neill Blomkamp) dictated by Microsoft, Bungie and Peter Jackson.

The studios demanded a pay cut at the last minute before the October 15 deadline. Microsoft, Bungie and the filmmakers said no. So Universal and Fox pulled the plug on the Halo movie.

PC - Halo 2 - Free PC Shadowrun with Halo 2 purchase. Already? While Frank and Ben Kuchera of Ars Technica are rather enamored with Shadowrun on the 360 and the PC, as a game it's a rather hard sell. The price is high for a multiplayer-only title, and of course it requires Vista to run. Same thing with Halo 2 on the PC: it's basically a older Xbox game that requires Vista for absolutely no reason and shows that Live on Windows still has quite a ways to go before it's a killer-app. Clearly these games aren't worth $50 apiece. Luckily, Circuit City has you covered: buy Halo 2 on the PC for $40, get Shadowrun free. It's like only being charged $20 for each game and, if you have Vista, that's a helluva deal.

He is not sure what such an aggressive sale says about the earning potential of these two games, but if you were interested in either of them and were just waiting for the price to come down, today is your lucky day. Sure, they won't throw a copy of Vista in there to sweeten the deal, but it's still an inexpensive way to try out the games and the new Live service for PCs.
