Bungie.net wrote: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 12:01 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!

im thinking themes and a new picture pack.

The reason for this lock is in the quote.

Shit, I'm going to leave for vacation Saturday at 9am EST. Looks like I'm going to have to get up a little early to snag whatever the things are.

What pictures? The ones I just linked? That would serve no purpose at all.

I don't know how many people know about this, but if you go check out the signs near the water on Zanzibar today (7/7/07) they have a different texture. This texture will only appear today (or if you change the date on your xbox to 7/7/07 which is what I did a year or so ago to get this screenshot:

Unfortunatly, I still don't understand the reference. The only ling ling I know is from drawn together.

ling ling was some old lady's dog and the rumor was that her dog was murdered but she could only find the body so she put up posters and a reward for anyone who finds ling ling's head

And, finding Ling Ling's head is the 5th step to world domination.
Right after "Acquire strangely addictive Chinese food company," and "stage bloody coup of new parent company."
