If you’re in or close enough to Austin (Cedar Park TX), Baltimore (Owings Mills MD), Chicago IL, Cleveland (North Olmstead OH), Dallas (Southlake TX), Detroit (Shelby Township MI), Houston (Tomball TX), Indianapolis IN, Las Vegas (Henderson NV), Los Angeles (Pasadena CA), Memphis TN, Nashville (Murfreesboro TN), New York (North Babylon NY), Philadelphia (Fairless Hills PA), Phoenix (Avendale AZ), Pittsburgh PA, Portland (Hillsboro OR), San Diego CA, San Francisco (Union City CA), San Jose (Antioch CA), Seattle (Redmond WA) or Washington DC (Woodbridge VA) between now and 19 September, you have the chance to try out the new ODST firefight multiplayer mode.  A Halo 3: ODST Transport vehicle has been sent on its way by Bungie, Microsoft and Game Stop, and it will be calling at each city. To see when it stops where, visit Major Nelson, who has all the details.

If you pre-order Halo 3: ODST from Amazon right now, you will get:
- $10 Video Games Credit. “The promotional code will be placed directly into your Amazon.com account within 2 business days after the product ships.”
- a code to play as Sgt. Johnson in the new “firefight” co-op mode. “Codes will be emailed 10 business days after the game releases.”
Plus, according to a post from persian_mafia on slickdeals.net you can get an additional $5 credit by using the coupon code HALOODST at checkout, plus a $5 mp3 Credit. Worth a try, anyway. If you can get all these, you would end up paying only $39.99, saving a third on the ticket price.

There’s a review of upcoming game DJ Hero worth a look from Destructoid. The game comes out on October 27, and there are 2 bundles to choose from: the DJ Hero Bundle standard edition, priced at $119.99 and the DJ Hero Renegade Edition Featuring Jay-Z and Eminem at $199.99. Both come with the turntable controller and everything you need to get started.
