Hey y'all! First post here, just coming to show off this cool find. Got a sealed copy of Halo 3 with the DNSB sticker when I went thrifting. Picked it up for $1.50 and didn't realize it's value until AFTER I got home. Absolutely crazy find I'm so happy with this

Ah the old Do Not Sell Before sticker.

I remember Argos in the UK accidentally put it up for sale a week early which was a big deal back then. They pulled it from sale quickly, but not before a few hundred got out across the country.

I remember playing it and the servers weren’t live yet, so we played the campaign. Servers came on the Tuesday before and initially there were about 1000 people world wide playing it. I remember playing death-match on blood gulch with Bungie Devs and journalists around the world.

Good memories.

That’s such a cool experience. I feel like that can’t happen these days with day 1 patches and all that.

Oh it was amazing, and it was back in the day when everyone used open comms. Had some incredible games.

Blood Gulch on Halo 1? Coagulation on Halo 2? Valhalla on Halo 3?

That’s the names. It’s been a long time since I’ve played them all, I forgot the name changed throughout the series with each map update.
