Got to give it to the Halo crew. Just when you think that there was nothing else in the pipeline they come out of left field with another offering to keep us all embroiled in the Halo world.

I must say that I am looking forward to getting my copy soon and the timing is impeccable given the upcoming release of Halo: Reach which is the prequel to the Halo saga and of course the DVD provides some much needed background to the Halo story that it is undoubtedly a must have for all Halo fans.
