Microsoft announced that, as part of the First to Play/First to Own promotion for Halo 3, Xbox and Pontiac will give gamers the chance to play Halo 3 for the first time at one of two events planned in San Francisco and New York City next week.
This announcement comes on the heels of the recent news that Halo 3 has been completed and will be officially released on September 25. To celebrate the impending launch of the game, premiering Halo 3 on the biggest screen imaginable - IMAX - seemed only fitting, says Microsoft. Gamers in attendance will have the chance to play the recently finished game projected on the world's largest IMAX screens. For those interested in attending, gamers are encouraged to go to

for the chance to win tickets. Space is limited for these two big-screen events so ticket holders are encouraged to arrive early to insure admittance. Receiving an event invitation does not guarantee entrance.
In addition to these "first to play" events, site visitors also have a chance to be among the first to own "Halo 3." One thousand lucky winners will receive the highly anticipated game by September 24, 2007; one day before "Halo 3's" commercial release. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited. Must be legal U.S. resident, 18 years or older. Game ends Sept. 17, 2007.
