Halo 2 Xbox Live Servers

Did you know that some 7,000 retailers opened early on November 9 for the release of the mega-anticipated Xbox game Halo 2? Over 49,000 Halo 2 gamers were playing simultaneously on Xbox Live at one point on November 9th, making it the most played game on Xbox Live yet. What is striking about this number is that many gamers have not had a chance to buy or play the game as some have yet to get home from work.
