Do you know why the Covenant Energy Sword is one of the most powerful weapons in Halo 3? I don't either. It has something to do with plasma contained in the handle, and magnetic fields or some technical crap. I think they look like fancy corn on the cob skewers!
I'm kidding. These are pretty badass; even more so when you see them in action. The swords light up and even make one of nine sound effects on contact with each other. I wonder if they make sounds on contact with human flesh.
Don't act cool. You know you want one. They will retail for about $200 when released in December. Want to make sure you get one? This place is taking preorders for only $20, and this other place for $30.
Are you checking your wallet now?

Covenant Enegergy Sword novetly corn on the cob skewers!
I would TOTALLY be there. They would also cost much less than $200.
Is it supposed to be dramatic? They couldn't show someone swinging them around in the dark? Or at least making the OTHER noises that the sword is supposed to make?
I could make a better video with my camera phone.
xbox 360 arcade > plastic sword with lights
Seconded.
