Last week, HawtyMcBloggy brought word of Nathaniel's one of a kind Xbox 360 that was adorned with signatures and artwork by industry people. The 360 unfortunately broke down so Nathaniel sent the system in making sure that Microsoft would take proper care of the system so the art and signatures stayed in tact. As we all know, that didn't happen and the 360 was sent back fixed but with all the art and signatures "cleaned" off. Bungie got word of this and they have sent Nathaniel some of the greatest swag ever. The best of the swag Bungie sent to Nathaniel was easily the Legendary helmet signed by practically the entire Bungie staff and two signed Halo 3 soundtracks by Marty O’Donnel. Nathaniel also received: - Bungie Jacket
- Bungie T-Shirt
- Halo 3 Messenger Bag
- Two Halo 3 Limited Edition Wireless Controllers (one covenant, one human)
- Halo 3 Faceplate and Skins for Xbox 360
- Four McFarlane Action Figures (MC, EVA Spartan, Brute Chieftan, Jackal Sniper)
- Halo Actionclix Preview pack (Target exclusive sticker on the front)
- Halo Actionclix Game Pack 4
- Halo 3 Wall Graffix
- Halo 3: Ghosts of Onyx Novel
- Halo Graphic Novel
- Halo 3 Wristband
- Halo 3 Hackeysack
Check out HawtyMcBloggy for more pictures of the swag and a statement from Nathaniel thanking everyone for the help. Hawty also mentions that Microsoft is still trying to figure out what they can do to make it up to Nathaniel. I'm really glad to see some good come out of this whole situation.
This just goes to show how much love Bungie has for their community. Eh, Bungie, they're pretty cool guys ... except when they're trying to make fun of us. Also, Halo 3 Hackeysack! TOTALLY RADICAL!

I definitely have a new found respect for Bungie. That's really, really cool.
That's amazing. Go Bungie!
WOW KUDOS MICROSOFT <3
WRU SONY?
Sweet! Does he still lack a 360 to use all this good stuff with though?
Very cool of them!
NICE! I'm glad he got something out of that disheartining disaster :3
Panda: Pay attention! He got the 360 back, but all the art and stuff was destroyed off of it!
LUCKY GUY
Bungie did not need to do this for this guy. Not because they've broken away from Microsoft, but because they're not a part of Microsoft's shitty costumer service.
Bungie > Gamecock.
That signed chief helmet is pretty awesome.
Haha, Hamza. I actually knew he got the 360 back and just completely failed to realized that it was obvoiusly fixed. I was blinded by the sheer stupidity of the dude that washed it off.
P.S. I <3 U.
I <3 BUNGIE. :3
i think bungie is a pretty cool guy, eh gives nathaniel great swag and doesn't afraid of anything.
now if only Microsoft could learn to care about the customers as much as bungie does.
microsoft care about customers? HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! *pees self*
Also, Bungie Cocks.
Wow... Im going to fake sign my 360 n smudge it n complain to get that nice gift set >_>;
jk, that is super cool of them, and I am glad they did that. Shows how awesome a gaming company can be.
I've been following this since Hawty originally made the post; It's good to see that something good came of this. I've always liked bungie for their fan service but this is just orgasmitacular. Good for him, and mega mega envy.
I still think they need to track down and fire whoever did that to his 360 though, thats just cruel.
Wow. Good on Bungie for going above and beyond in this case. Didnt Microsoft say they were going to make the situation right on their end, too?
Nathaniel should write Bungie a letter saying;
Thanks but I'd rather of had some COD4 swag.
Joking, Bungie's cool.
That is very honourable of Bungie, can't say they went wrong there.
Lets hope his house doesn't get robbed or anything like that :)
This isn't new behavior for Bungie. They're some damn cool guys and have been so for a long time. And let's remember Bungie =/= Microsoft. This is all Bungie Studios' doing.
But seriously, I nearly shit a cat, when I saw that picture. I want, I want, I want.
Bungie, I love you.
Kudos to Bungie for doing this. Like Sharpless said, they've always seemed to be really community-loving people. I wonder if Microsoft is taking a 360 around to the various people who originally signed the guy's in order to replace it...
Itīs nice to see how a smaller company cleans the shit made by bigger ones, this case Microsoft.
Big loud claps to Bungie.
Thatīs caring about their customers.
cough*Microsoft*cough
I would put that stuff up on ebay so damn fast...
Yeah I agree with AngelsDontBurn - new respect for Bungie.
THAT HELMET! So sweet. I hope he is able to get his RvB drawerings replaced though...
BOIOIOING for Bungie
awesome sauce
Sweet... now where's my free swag?
I hope they gave him recon armor too.
awesome! i want swag from an over-hyped game as well! i'll have me some killzone swag please!
Gah! Do want!
{ standing ovation to Bungie }
Absolutely first class!!
thats damn nice of them
I would probably ebay that stuff as well.
Sorry about your one-of-a-kind system now being a generic and mundane system, have some stupid garbage from a mediocre game.
Did he cry with joy? I hope he did...
if I received a GOD OF WAR package from Sony I would cry... from both my eyes and my dong.
The helmet alone is worth it, you naysayer!
With a screw up like that, you know they were going to go all out and fix it. Good for them!
The guy was clearly a Halo fan, considering who he got signatures from and what he had drawn on the thing. This probably made him happy as fuck, and Bungie knew it would. Hence, Bungie are decent people.
Halo still sucks.
Honestly I would have been shocked if this DIDN'T happen, knowing Bungie.
Where's the Master Chief replica penis?
That is one heck of a consolation prize.
Um...that's nice and all...but wouldn't it have made more sense to...you know...get an artist to do a custom sketch on his 360?
With Bungie's resources...I'm sure they could have done better than throw a bunch of Halo merchandise at him.
IDK, just seems lazy to me.
@ liqideos
What happens if the 360 he has breaks? Then he has the risk of losing the custom sketch again. Bungie thought ahead and were smart to sign something that wouldn't break down.
...Well I think that it's a pretty grim outlook on the platform as a whole if we're still dealing with the scenario of the console dying as a: "Probably gonna happen again.", situation.
Or maybe Microsoft tech support should take heed to special requests attached to service tickets and things like this wouldn't happen.
The package is a nice gesture, not how I would have handled the situation, as none of the package is unique, save for the autographs on the helmet.
He still lost a piece of art that was unique to only him, and that is still the situation here.
God damn it liqideos. You just had to go and piss all over everyone's Bungie love fest, didn't you?
Wow very very nice, allthough it probably still doesn't hold up against the loss of a handdrawn 360-skin signed by loads of 360-people...
@DrNutt:
He pissed only on his own. I've been gaming since the days of the Atari 2600 when most of you people were in diapers (if you were even born yet), and one thing that you gain after dealing with fu*kwads like liqideos and NightDehumidifier over the years is the ability to ignore their narcissistic pessimism.
I don't even like the Halo series, but I'd *love* to have that set of items. Kudos to Bungie, and middle fingers to liqideos and NightDehumidifier who can't at least show respect to a company who went WAY beyond what they could have done for a fellow gamer, which could have just as easily been nothing at all.
Wow, go Bungie. High five to them really caring.
Holy fucking shit 0.o
This is really great of Bungie. But...he technically still doesn't have those signatures, does he?
It's really cool that Bungie did this, now if only Halo didn't suck.
It's nice to know that there are game companies that aren't composed of total bastards.
Awww... bungie.
The end of your post made me think:
I think that Bungie is a pretty cool guy, eh fights teh horrible customer service and isn't afraid of anything.
I can't believe all of you missed the obvious omission:
[b]NO CORTANA!!![b]
...I always screw that up!
That's great that, even though Microsoft ddnt act quick and take care of it, at least Bungie did something about it. I don't know anything about Halo, and I don't own a 360, so I dont know if the stuff they gave him is any good, but it was still a nice gesture.
I wonder if microsoft is going to do anything? It still seems like they owe the dude something.
Good for you Nathaniel.
Nice lot of stuff there
