I've been reading that for a while, actually. It's a cool idea, and well executed too, a little reminiscent of the "Blair Witch Project" website or Mark Z. Danielewski's "House of Leaves". As for the game itself, well I'm a PC/ PS2 guy but I may hit eBay for an XBrick come the release since I don't want to wait a year for it to arrive on the PC

It's a marketing ploy to get people excited about Halo 2. The Halo 2 Trailor has the address in it, there is no way it isn't a ploy to get people uppity about Halo 2.

It is no doubt a marketing strategy, but the question is still; what does it all mean? Many, including myself, tend to believe that it is giving clues to a new race that will be introduced in Halo 2. Much like as the Hive was keep secret with the orginal Halo, mabye there is a new Bee-like race in Halo 2.

Oh my, I hope there is not bee-like race, that would be really creepy. Well, I suspect that when the countdown gets to 0 something will be released, maybe a demo or some new info or something. No real good ideas of what it is though.

yah, interactive advertising
i dont think it will be bee-people, they just made an unassuming website, a fake home honey business.
bee-people that would be cool.

Bee people would be worrying... IGN have an article up about the marketing hype that's a pretty good read here (http://xbox.ign.com/articles/533/533929p1.html)
Be sure to read the blog and comments that accompany ilovebees that's some weird stuff
