How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
In addition to the video commercial, linked to above, here's an interesting article about Halo 2 in Entertainment Weekly.
We'll have a series of Halo 2 game sessions starting next weekend. More to come on those.

Is anyone coming to Midnight Madness? http://www.xbox.com/en-US/halo2/storelocator.htm
I'll be in Silicon Valley for the launch parties. Anyone want to meet somewhere in Northern California?
Any other cool Halo 2 articles or sites? Link them here.
The video's 'thumbnail' isn't showing up for me on this post. Using Moz Firefox... The one of Larry below IS showing up.
Halo 1 still sells for like $30.
Halo 2 will probably drop to $10 when Halo 4 ships.
By the way, will we (the happy winner dudes from the Channel 9 contest) get the Special Edition or the normal edition?

As for some other links some obvious one's come to mind:
www.bungie.net
halo.bungie.org
And of course the infamous http://www.ilovebees.com
Which is an alternate reality game based on the Halo universe, basically a human AI from the future crash lands on the above web site and the game was to figure out what was going on and try and help out the players; the AI (initially know as the Queen), the ILoveBees.com site owner Dana and some other AI characters that arrived with the Queen (the seeker aka Pious Flea, the SPDR and the sleeping princess).
While there was a lot of plot to the game itself at it's core was four hours (yup that much) audio in wav files that made up a 12 chapter story that is set on Earth and runs up until the beginning of the Halo 2.
Most of the audio can now found here:
