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!

WRU SONY?
Bungie > Gamecock.
That signed chief helmet is pretty awesome.
Also, Bungie Cocks.
jk, that is super cool of them, and I am glad they did that. Shows how awesome a gaming company can be.
I still think they need to track down and fire whoever did that to his 360 though, thats just cruel.
Thanks but I'd rather of had some COD4 swag.
Joking, Bungie's cool.
But seriously, I nearly shit a cat, when I saw that picture. I want, I want, I want.
Big loud claps to Bungie.
That´s caring about their customers.
cough*Microsoft*cough
THAT HELMET! So sweet. I hope he is able to get his RvB drawerings replaced though...
awesome sauce
Absolutely first class!!
if I received a GOD OF WAR package from Sony I would cry... from both my eyes and my dong.
Halo still sucks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
