With the Battlefield: Bad Company demo being released a little over a week ago, I got a welcome break from Halo...

Anyway I ranked up to Rank 4 (Corporal), the highest in the demo, which gives me a submachine gun for the full game! That's my second unlock of those special 5 weapons (that you previously had to buy), after the M-60 for signing up for the newsletter.

But the point of me posting this; I just found a glitch (I'm not sure if that'd be the right term...) to skip the reload of a rocket launcher (demo class). After shooting, press the reload button, and immediately sprint. When you come out of sprint, you press the reload button (X on the 360), and it instantly reloads, without the animation and stuff. I might try this with other weapons later, in the full game (I don't want to waste more time on the demo). But I think it works with all weapons, but I just didn't notice this on more than one occasion.

And, of course, I did manage to get Halo 3 in...

I just got a message from Ubisoft saying that I got accepted in the Tom Clancy's EndWar Beta!

The Beta lasts from the 16th of June to the 7th of July. So, who else signed up, and did you get accepted (all you had to do was say you have Beta-testing experience)?

Incase you haven't heard of the rumoured Xbox 360 with a built-in Blu-ray drive, you don't deserve a link (damn, my imaginary editor did that...).

Okay, here's it quickly; even if this ends up being true, and you already have a 360, there isn't much point in trading it for a Blu-ray one, because:

a) Chances are, Blu-ray players are going to get fairly cheap by next year.

b) If there's a Blu-ray 360, it's likely that there'll be a Blu-ray add-on as well. Unless MS is really stupid and/or Sony has wierd licensing terms.
