Wow, its only been a few days since launch, but the after effects of the H3 launch were pretty big. Besides taking down Live, well at least the web site and forums, it also killed the feeds to many popular 360 sites like 360voice and MGC. 360voice decided to upgrade servers, things were broke anyway, but they are still in the middle of recovering. Live is back to normal, but wow! I read somewhere that there were close to a million on-line! That's big!

So, I'm starting to hear all the Halo 3 "day after" stories. Some co-workers were "out sick" the day after launch. My neighbor's brother stayed home 3 days to get his Halo fix. Sad to say, I don't have Halo 3 yet, so no Halo flu for me. How about you folks. Any dedicated gamers?

All in all, Live! problems aside, Halo 3 launch appears to be a big success. What do you think? Was it worth it?

I'll reserve my own judgment about the hype until after I've given the campaign a try.
