Get your yummy Halo 3 theme at a kiosk near you
Actually, after taking a deep breathe and looking over this blog, we're realizing that we just expressed an unnatural amount of excitement for a dashboard theme. Maybe we should take it down a notch. But the fact that, in order to get this (super yummy) Halo 3 theme, we have to find a 360 kiosk, stick in our memory card and download makes its appeal so great. Screw it! That's our goal for today. We're finding and downloading that elusive Halo 3 kiosk theme and nobody is stopping us! We want it and we want it now ... status update incoming.

@3
A kiosk is the things that they have set up in the stores where you can play the 360 :)

we're, we, us? Are you sure the other members of 360fanboy are going to go looking for the theme like you dustin?

Isn't this just the Best Buy promotional theme without the Best Buy logos?
Adam @ Nov 23rd 2007 6:44PM
I could swear this is the same theme I have on my 360 right now. I believe it came with the Legendary Edition on the bonus discs. Though, that is kinda crap since it is supposed to be "exclusive" content.

Is it Worldwide kiosks or USA only?
Josh @ Nov 23rd 2007 8:12PM
"Bungie" theme from Legendary edition bonus disk is better..although i guess thats not really, truely "free"
Josh @ Nov 23rd 2007 8:13PM
@ adam
ah ya.. it is about the same. not completely though..

Do the kiosks update automatically through WiFi or something? The Kiosk at my Best Buy still has Guitar Hero II on it.

@ Dragod,
They run off of special Xbox 360 Kiosk demo disks that emulate the dashboard through the disc.

Who the hell even owns a memory card?
h0mi @ Nov 24th 2007 5:48PM
I got a memory card and went to a couple of targets, walmarts and best buys and none of those kiosks were functioning or allowed me to download this theme. WTF?

Who needs a memory card with a hard drive!
Stupid Microsoft...! PUT IT ON LIVE DAMNIT!!!!
Kato @ Nov 25th 2007 2:37AM
I read about this about a week ago and went in to both Target and Best Buy to do some early Christmas shopping. At Target the Kiosk was completely busted. At Best Buy it was showing a disc read error.
Awesome support, guys.

The concept of taking a memory card to a kiosk seems like a fine one to me but Ive yet to see anything worthwhile to warrant doing this. This is the first thing in a year or so that made memory cards desirable, yet it doesnt work.

Who doesn't? They're like $15 bucks.

Microsoft doesn't directly support the Kiosks, and neither do the vendor. I used to have the support number for kiosk repairs but it's been changed since the last time I used it.

yah i have a halo 3 theme that i downloaded for free off xblm but it was only available for like two days
gonk @ Nov 26th 2007 1:12PM
if i could actually see my backgrounds instead of having ads cover half of them, it'd be cool
Sean C. @ Nov 26th 2007 1:36PM
They should include a Memory Card with a select few games. Or offer it for like $5.
