Cooling Dual 120mm case fans front/rear, Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro, Zalman VF-900 on GPU
Memory 2GB G.Skill DDR2 800
Video Card(s) Sapphire X850XT @ 580/600
Storage WD 160 GB SATA hard drive.
Display(s) Hanns G 19" widescreen, 5ms response time, 1440x900
Case Thermaltake Soprano (black with side window).
Audio Device(s) Soundblaster Live! 24 bit (paired with X-530 speakers).

Some lucky Norwegians got their hands on the NTSC version of Halo 3, which will be released in just two days in the United States (three days in Europe). One Norwegian in particular, who goes by the alias "Assclown" turned Halo 3 into a file you can get off of Bit-torrent. The hacked version, once burned onto a disk properly, would obviously need a modified Xbox 360 to play it. The Halo 3 torrent is 7.3GB broken down into 154 RAR files.

Some are, but most are not. The ripped games come as follows: PAL, NTSC/U, NTSC/J and Region Free :) The region free games are the only ones that will play on a PAL or NTSC system ;)

Yup, torrents are up. All you need to do now is download..

But Halo 3 is really a game that is worth the money. It's got enough content to be worth 200$, not 60.

norwegian online newspaper http://itavisen.no/ had a forum post with a guy that had bought the game, and they posted the norwegian news first, and then someone in the US leaked a US version to the web :)

Nope, all the new rips get region unlocked by decent rippers.
