Halo 3 for Xbox 360 has gone Gold. That means it has passed Bungie's internal testing and is now being whisked away to top secret manufacturing locations to be turned into retail versions of the game and eventually packaged and sent to stores to meet it predetermined September 25th release date.
Bungie had nothing to say after finishing one of the most anticipated games ever, but to thank everybody that ever crossed their pass:
"We have to say thanks to everyone at Bungie who worked so hard to make this the best game we've ever made. We have to say thanks to everyone at Microsoft who helped us make it the best game we ever made. We have to say thanks to our tireless team of artists, designers, engineers, musicians, technicians, writers, directors, producers, thinkers, administrators, ninjas, specialists, gorillas, webmasters and pimps. We're a family and we made this game for you, our extended family. We hope you like it. Nobody deserves any more recognition than anyone else, but an extra special thanks goes out anyway, to the test team who got it to this stage, in a pool of their own sweat, tears and blood."
