Even Bill Gates was out for the Halo 3 launched, signs copy for lucky fan

[Zeus]

Microsoft founder Bill Gates was on hand to sign the first ever copy of Halo 3 sold at Best Buy in Bellevue. Gates reportedly mixed with the media and was sharing jokes and having a jolly good time before signing Ritesh David's copy of Halo 3 of whom waited 10 hours for the honor.

For nearly 10 hours, Ritesh David, 17, waited in the cold dark for the culmination of years of fanatical dedication to a make-believe world. At 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, as the "Halo 3" video game was released to hordes of customers at Best Buy in Bellevue, his dedication paid off.

Just inside the door, Microsoft guru Bill Gates shook his hand and sold him one of the first copies of the corporation's hugely popular video game. Musicians and designers from "Halo's" Bungie Studios autographed David's posters and memorabilia. It was, the Issaquah High School senior said, the most exciting moment of his life.

"I felt like a billion bucks," he crowed, cheerfully upfront about his plans to skip classes Tuesday and stay home playing "Halo." "Business professionals around the world won’t be going to work tomorrow, so why would I go to school? It brings me joy."

"It was most exciting moment of my life"

Wow, it must have been an honor. After all Bill Gates is God, Bungie is Jesus and Halo 3 is the Holy Grail.

I wonder how big was the check that Bill Gates put inside the box.

Who the **** that is that? Anyway sony doesn't own Konami they can't take credit for MGS, on the opposite they should be kissing Kojima's ass for sticking around for so long.

[Alastair]

I wonder if Bill and Melinda made sure that this kid was circumcised before he signed it. Those two are the tag-team of evil along with the clip-tip Clintons.

OMG hes giving it to a fucking Gando
Hahaha

Heres a Halo 3 collection for ya. Even signed by Bill Gates too...

He writes like a 6 year old ... how hard would it be to forge that signature.

But either way this is a sweet collection for Halo fans.

"I felt like a billion bucks," he crowed

Thanks to kids like you (although thanks even more to millions of office drones), Bill Gates is just as happy and feels like 59 billion bucks.

[Mikeyy]

How typical of Mr. Gates to take all the credit.

Mr. Gates: Back into your cages Bungie, oh yeah! and those beers we gave you cost $200,000,000 so no profit for you guys, Ill just pocket it. Ha har He Har.

[Xenogears V]
