But maybe that’s not enough for you. Maybe you need your deeds commemorated with the beauty and flair they deserve. You need to be captured in art. And now? You can be.

Or, if you prefer, you can hang up art of someone else’s exploits. The sky is the limit! Or rather, your Xbox 360′s capacity for pictures, and the depth of your wallet. Those are the limits.

With the help of HaloScreenshots.com, your finest moments will be touched up, glammed up, glitzed up, and even put on canvas if that’s what you want.

Don’t expect these to be cheap, though. Small unframed paper prints start at $16.99 — not too bad — but anything beyond that, and the price really begins to rise. Just how much do you love Master Chief?

According to the post (which has since been removed for some reason), if you buy an Xbox 360 this holiday season, you’ll be able to grab a free copy of their hit game, Halo 3.

Later in the day, Microsoft’s posted this Buy Xbox 360, Get Halo 3 promotional page, clarifying the offer. The offer won’t apply to all new 360 buyers — just those who are already are Xbox LIVE subscribers with an original Xbox (and who happen to live in the United States). So it sounds like they’re just trying to incent original Xbox owners to upgrade to a 360 this holiday season.

To redeem the offer, here’s what you need to do:

  1. Buy an Xbox 360 console between November 21 and December 21, 2007.
  2. Convert your current paid Xbox LIVE account to an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription.
  3. Register here between November 21 and December 21, 2007 with promotional code XBX7777, with your new console serial number, and a valid mailing address.
  4. Look for your copy of Halo 3 in your mailbox!

So if you still haven’t made the jump from last gen to this gen, there’s no better time than the present.

The Beta will run for just under a month from May 16 through June 6, 2007. Since the Beta will be over in June and the game isn’t expected to be released until September, we’ll be going through at least two months of withdrawal symptoms during the late Summer.

The Beta will feature three maps, Valhalla, High Ground and Snowbound and all three maps will only be playable in Matchmaking mode for now. You’ll get a chance to check out new weapons, at least one new grenade type and some “hidden features” in the Beta as well.

Bungie has also posted some really nice new screen shots and a video clip of multi-player mode in action (and quite a bit of behind the scenes footage.) Although it owes quite a bit to the Unreal franchise, I love the new “Man Cannon” which replaces the transporters as a means of getting around the map quickly. You can now look forward to shooting players out of the air as they’re trying to transport.

See you on Xbox Live on May 16th!

It’s been revealed that the upcoming $99 Halo 3 Legendary Edition (due this October) will include a variety of special bonus features, including 3 bonus DVDs with behind-the-scenes footage, hi-resolution cinematics from Halo and Halo 2, Red vs Blue episodes and more. But the big pack-in is the Spartan helmet.

For you Halo geeks, the helmet is modeled after “authentic” Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI head gear. It’s made out of high impact polystyrene, similar to the construction of a motorcycle helmet. That said, I don’t recommend wearing this helmet on your Harley.

Someone managed to grab a couple of quick video clips (from their cellphone?) that really don’t show much other than the fact that the game is playable:

Not sure how long these videos will stay up, but check ‘em out while you can.
