Most of the time, the big games come out on tuesdays. Why, im not sure but i remember reading that there was a reason for it.


businesses do their sell projections on Mondays. Releasing something on a Tuesday therefore gives the most accurate seeling rate for the first week. as opposed to releasing it on a Friday when ur first week would actually only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Okay, so on gamestop.com, it always says "Pre-order ships (insert release date here)"

examples:

Halo 3: ODST
Pre-order ships 9/22/09

Modern Warfare 2
Pre-order ships 11/10/09


On the Halo: Reach page, it says
Pre-order ships 9/1/10

Either the release date is September 1st, 2010, or they just needed an approximation to put in. I believe the release date is 9/1/2010


That's just a necessity of the website's code. Bungie has a tradition of releasing in September (which means "Seventh Month") so they put that in as a filler date.



Whoa, whoa, whoa, ummmm since when is September the seventh month? does that spot no longer belong to July? hahhaa, did i misunderstand what u were saying?

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

September originally was the seventh month (sept means seven). But Julius and Augustus Caesar thought they deserved their own month and added July and August to the Roman calendar which is the basis for our modern Gregorian Calendar.

Bungies last Halo game. It will most likely be release on thee 7th. And its also a tuesday, so that is a great possibility.
That's a good point actually.

I hope it's released in september or december because October 1st is my birthday so..... And good thinking who got the 7th month thing I forgot about that.

▀▄Halo2, Halo3, Forge, Slayer, Snipers, BR's...▄▀ ▄
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀SAS Halo3▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

September 1st, 2010 is a Wednesday, so no.

I'm guessing it will be released on September 21st.

Halo 3 was released on the 25th, and ODST on the 22nd, so I'm willing to bet I'm right.
