It's been hinted and teased in prior updates but I should remind everyone again that "Bungie Day" is rapidly approaching. For the uninitiatied, I am of course referring to July 7th. The day of 7/7 has a lot of special meaning at Bungie, even before it became the day we became an independent developer last year. Seven has shown up in Bungie games for years including a huge amount of references throughout the Halo series. I could rattle of a list but our community has done that and more already. Check out this wiki page for an exhaustive look at the significance of 7.
What matters most to you though is that we have a tradition of offering some treats to our fans on this special day. This year, we will continue the tradition with another set of FREE exclusive gamerpics and a dashboard theme from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. These items are only going to be available for one day so mark your calendar now. If you miss them on 7/7, they are gone forever.
We have a few other goodies planned but you'll have to wait until next week to hear more about that. And who knows, the importance of 7/7 may even be enough to get Luke to produce another installment of the Bungie Podcast.
Suffice it to say that 7/7/08 will be a great day for Bungie fans. You've been warned.
