Major Nelson recently posted up some sweet sound effects that the new Halo: Reach themed Xbox 360 Slim will feature. One for the power and the other for the trey.

The only issue that may arise is that newer home theater systems and HD televisions often take a long time to start-up and find audio [...]

It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Bungie’s “Going out with a bang!” video game has reached the top charts in terms of pre-orders. VGchartz has the statistics and it looks as if Halo: Reach is way ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops despite Black Ops being in it’s 14th week of availability to pre-order and Reach only being in it’s 6th.
