Decided to take a break from changing usernames and hopped by to see what was in the GAN pool. I'll be coming up with a review shortly.  bibliomaniac 1  5  00:52, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I haven't taken a great big look into prose, but here are some preliminary things that I think should be addressed.  bibliomaniac 1  5  01:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that "extensive marketing campaign" in the first sentence should be bolded.
 * One of the more serious problems I'm seeing is that there is a lack of transitioning between sentences. As a result, the prose seems rather choppy. For example, in Halo 3 marketing: "Bungie produced a Halo 3-themed Microsoft Zune which was preloaded with Halo content, including a custom episode of the popular series Red vs. Blue.[35] Microsoft sponsored the #40 car driven by David Stremme for Chip Ganassi Racing in the Dover 400 Nextel Cup Series. The car featured a Halo 3 inspired paintjob featuring the title for the game printed prominently on the hood and rear bumper, as well as large pictures of Master Chief on each of the rear fenders.[36] Pontiac announced a sweepstakes with a Halo 3-branded Pontiac G6 GXP Street and being the first to play the game on an IMAX screen as prizes. Pontiac will also have a promotion tour featuring their vehicles.[37]" There aren't any transitions between the Zune, the racecar, and the Pontiac, so it all feels rather random and choppy. Even an "also" in that sentence would do.
 * Some of the refs have not been formatted properly, namely refs 31-37, 46, and 47.
 * I fixed the refs, bolded the header, and condensed and cleaned up the section in particular. I figure it's better to remove some of the minutiae so that it reads better. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 18:55, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

The prose reads much better! I've just completed a big copyedit. Since everything else has been fixed up now, I see no reason not to pass this article.  bibliomaniac 1  5  23:57, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, when this gets to FAC, give me a call at my talk page, okay?  bibliomaniac 1  5  00:02, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
