Mill this over...

"Unsurprisingly, the game is also faring well on Xbox Live, with more than 2.7 million gamers having had a go online--over a third of the 7 million total registered Live users. Forty million hours of online games, which adds up to 4,500 years, have been played in the first week across the globe, with almost 30 million achievements unlocked."

That's the quote. The in-laws internet is somewhat unreliable.

It just amazes me that FORTY MILLION man-hours were played in the first seven days. That might be enough time to build a pyramid, or at least Stonehenge. And yet we spent it fighting for online glory and water-cooler bragging rights.

Second thought: bullet-hole stickers. What exactly are they trying to communicate? The world may never know.

That's pretty crazy. Sam said something like 75% of xbox owners bought it within the first week. Craziness.
