Happy Bungie Day

Today is “Bungie Day” and the great people over at Bungie have not forgotten the gamers who made them who they are. Keep your eyes out, because special content will be available for “free” on the Xbox Live Marketplace during the day. Check out Bungie’s message after the article break for more information. Enjoy the above video Daniel discovered about the early days of Bungie. This was when they were developing ‘Marathon’, before the days of Halo.

July 7th has come to be known as “Bungie Day” amongst our fan community and this year is extra special on account of it actually falling in a year ending with 7. If you’re new to our fan community, do some digging to find out the rich history of Bungie and the number 7 and you’ll see why 7/7/07 has special meaning within our family.

Lukems and the Bungie.net team have some cool things lined up for the site tomorrow but we also managed to pull a few strings to make some extra special content available on Xbox 360 Marketplace. I won’t spoil the fun and tell you exactly what it is (don’t get too excited, it’s not Halo 3 - think something of a more decorative nature) but I did want to give you a heads-up that these commemorative goodies are ONLY available on 7/7/07 and then they are gone forever.

Log on to Marketplace any time starting at approximately 2:00 AM PDT on July 7th and get it while you can. Once the clock strikes midnight on Saturday, this content is gone forever. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Spread the word throughout the Bungie community and join us on Marketplace and Bungie.net tomorrow for good times. And we wouldn’t have a “Bungie Day” without our loyal fans who have stuck by us for so long. Thanks for all of your support and here’s to 2007 - the best year yet in the history of Bungie Studios and our fan community!
