Everybody is wondering when the release date is going to be.
Everybody is having a good guess of it being to do with the number 7, which brings people to conclude it would be released on the 7/7/07. I think Bungie could release it on an early date, i think on the 03/04/07. The date still has something to do with Bungie's obsession with the number 7, 03+04=07.

Thats my thought anyway...

Although that would be just plain awesome, I think It's gonna be released in November to allow more kids to get 360's from their parents for Christmas, hence boosting Halo 3 sales because more people can buy it. That's how it would probably be if Microsoft had anything to do with the release date anyways.

I hope that it is released on 7/7/07 though, cause then I don't have to skip school to go get a copy of Halo 3 at midnight and beat it by 7:00 like what happened for Halo 2.

Yeah.. Bungie needs to release it on 7/7/07. It's a Saturday, which means I'll be able to camp out at the mall all day on Friday. Good call.

Throwing my 2 cents into the wind...and looking at the calendar......I like your theory. How ever, games are released on tuesdays and none of those days fall on tuesdays. But i would definitley like the game on 3/4/07 :)

Ok, all those idea's seem plausible but I dont think that Bungie will wait a year and two months to release the game for two reasons: 1. It has been said that they've been working on it since Halo 2 was released, so its been in development for over a year, and 2. PS3 comes out this fall (November to be exact), since Xbox 360 is competing with PS3 Halo 3 will be released shortly after PS3 comes out.

I'd like to think the game will be released on a specific day for an important reason, not just because the numbers on the date are cute.

ok um honestly who decided taht it would be a good idea to relate the release date to "7". i can garantee that it wont be like that. my best guess is early 2007 (january-febuary) to give the ps3 some serious competition. but take my word for it, dont go for the "7" deally for the release date because you will be throughly dissapointed.

It won't come out on 7/7/07, considering game release day is on a tuesday, and that happens to fall on a Saturday (the 7th day of the week ;) ).

I personally think that the best bet towards a release date will be the 13th of November, 2007. I won't give my reasoning towards it, but if you're logistical enough, you might figure it out.

Well I am positive it is wrong, but I pre-ordered my copy of Halo 3 from ebgames and they said it ships 1/1/2007, i think they were just throwing that out there as the earliest possible date it could be but not the true date. I think Bungie should just say when it is going to be released, it's not a huge deal since we know it's going to be in 2007, it would make alot of people happy. Including myself. LONG wait ahead of me...

I have a feeling that Bungie only said that it was coming out in 2007 to make the PS3 community feel like they have a chance. I think that sometime in the early fall they announce a real release date to that of which will be very close to the release of PS3. This will make people really hyped up about Halo3 and will boost Xbox 360 sales.

i dont really care im just happy it is being released, itll either be, march 2007, or 07/07/07, or tie in with halo movie release day, or 07/11/07 in states and 11/11/07 in europe for third bday of halo 2, i think read somewhere the release had nothing to do with the movie release so ignore the third idea.
