This show we talk all about the Halo 3 beta, what’s new, what we liked, how it compares to halo 1 and 2, and a bunch more. This week’s guest is WitchKing from the IGN community, a blogger and Microsoft MVP.

As some of you have already noticed, some members of the Podtacular community are now getting a chance to play the Halo 3 beta early, thanks to Bungie’s Friends and Family program. If you haven’t already, be sure to check your inbox over at Bungie.net to see if you’re invited.
Some of these people were invited directly from Bungie, while others were chosen at random, so chances of people getting in were already pretty slim, but don’t let that get you down. As long as you’ve been invited through one of the other three methods, you’ll still get your chance to put Halo 3 to the test on Wednesday May 16th. There are some people who won’t even get into that, and moreover, there are people who don’t even have a 360, so consider yourself lucky! :)
Be sure to also check out the new Halo 3 Beta Test forum and keep a sharp eye out for a special early podcast with our first impressions of the beta and what you can expect from it!
The Pod TV team bring us a detailed look at the new maps: Tombstone and Desolation. They walk around explaining the layout and weapon spawns and then play 4v4 on the maps for us. Cool! This one’s about 21 minutes.

This show we talk about the other leaked footage that later got taken down. Guests this show are Swagger from podtacular and Rusty Ranchero, host of the “live on live” show at XBLRadio.com. We also have the past week’s XBL arcade reviews from Rist Peblo and as usual a few surprises at the end. Pod art this week was sent in by roB eAsilY. Show’s about 1:15. Hope you enjoy it! By the way, next show will be a unique episode. We’re not taking user input this time, it will make sense why after the show. We’ll definitely resume that with the following show.

I was recently contacted by the founders of goozex.com, the game trading site. They noticed that a lot of their members were from here, so they wanted to offer Podtacular members a special deal at goozex for trading in games. Use the coupon code podtacular-2007 for 5 free trades and 100 free credits after the first trade! Read on for a quick explanation of how it works.

Recently, I was playing around with some ideas and cooked up this nifty official Podtacular Xbox 360 theme background for the whole community to use. It’s designed for widescreen displays at full 1080p resolution, so download and display it proudly in your Dashboard!
