Halo 3, the much-awaited game of this year has already posted more than 1 million preorders in North America for the Xbox 360 gaming platform. Anyway, going back to these hip hop freaks, the artists got the Xbox 360 Special Edition Halo 3 Console with Zune - Halo 3 Edition that is why they are able to play the game. Hip hop and gaming website Konsole Kingz (www.konsolekingz.com) also introduced the game's publisher Microsoft to other well known hip hop artists like Big Boi of Outkast and Mr. Collipark. Konsole Kingz and Microsoft will also host a private Halo 3 party.

Big Boi also commented:
"My guys came through from Microsoft with some gifts. I got the brand new Halo 3 special edition Xbox 360. The biggest entertainment release ever! They told me the numbers for the first day opening, you won't believe it."
