AUSTRALIA: Halo 3 holds tight

Whilst it only managed to hang on to the top spot in the UK for one week following irrepressible pressure from EA’s FIFA 08, Halo 3 remains firmly rooted at the top of the Australian software charts.

Its main competition this week comes form Nintendo’s critically hyped The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, which claims second spot. It shares the Top Ten with five other DS titles as Nintendo’s handheld continues to perform.

The PS2 continues to fight on in the territory, too, with three entries making the list – THQ’s Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights in fourth place, EA’s FIFA 08 in sixth and Sony’s SingStar: Rock Ballads at number nine.
