Reserve your hot Halo weapons at Hot Topic

by Richard Mitchell { Sep 5th 2007 at 11:30AM }

Much to the delight of emo Halo 3 fanboys everywhere, Hot Topic has begun taking pre-orders on the Halo 3 replica Covenant weaponry from Jasman Toys. For those unaware of these ~~toys~~ replicas, they feature laser tag functionality and are supposed to behave in the same manner as their digital counterparts. For example, the plasma pistol features a "super shot" mode and the exhaust on the plasma rifle will open when it "overheats." Both replicas also feature accurate sound effects and recoil. You'd better really love Halo (or laser tag) though, because the plasma pistol alone will set you back 70 bones. The plasma rifle costs nearly twice as much at $120. For that much money you could just buy Halo 3. Hell, you could almost afford the Legendary Edition. Still, if the plasma pistol exhaust port pops open after a charged shot, we might just pick one up when they release next month.

I wish...i just don't have that much money to spare...i'd rather spend it on games.

I'd love a Carbine if the weaponry has to be Covenant, but that'd be at least $200 if it ever happened.

Im still shocked that emo kids and hipsters would subject themselves to the violence of Halo. They must be writing poems non-stop to deal.

Too expensive, does M$ think they'll actually sell these? Maybe spoiled kids.

Check out the website; they have an energy sword coming in 2008.

Click brands. Halo 3 should come up automatically, and then click products.

I'd be more inclined to by the humans weapons then the Covenant ones...

Preferably the MA5C or the Pistol... or the Shotgun

Is it just me or does the Plasma grenade look pretty much Identical to the thermal detonator in Star Wars when it isn' active...

TORO did you add me to live yet?
