Bungie (Halo series) are obsessed with the number 7 and similarly to last year, they will be celebrating Monday 7th July 2008 with new content. For details on why the number 7 is so significant to Bungie, click here. 7/7 this year will provide Bungie and Halo fans with limited time goodies and offers including:

Availability: All Xbox Live Regions
Description: 7 exclusive Bungie Gamer Pictures to download.

Name: Bungie Day – Dashboard Theme

Name: Halo 3: Cold Storage Multiplayer Map
Price: Free

Description: The emptied Forerunner research facility serves as a grim reminder of how even the best laid plans can fail. Warmly crafted, dutifully beautified update of Halo: CE classic multiplayer map, Chill Out. Love, Bungie.
Once, the Cold Storage facility was a vibrant, active research centre on Installation 05. An accidental contamination resulted in an unforeseen outbreak, which compromised the Forerunner centre. Now, emptied and silent, watched only by a local caretaker,  the abandoned structure serves as a reminder of how something as powerful as science is ultimately beholden to nature.
