This is just a reminder that the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack is available for download today.

Halo 3’s Legendary map pack comes out April 15 and will cost you 800 Microsoft Points ($10).

There’s hacking, and then there’s hacking. In this case, a big Halo 2 fan hacked a Wii and Xbox 360 together to control his favorite game. Watch the video.
