They're dumb. They did it for Halo 2 as well, long before the release date was released...

They just follow the rumors that float around on forums like these.

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

Because they can't enter a "non" date, the website coding needs a value in the form of a month and day. So they just enter a random day, usually jan 1 or something such as that.

Ummm, the trailer says "2007", so the companies will put H3 under "Jan 1, 07" until Bungie releases an official date

I dont think they follow rumors. Dont you think the release date is odd.
Release Date-- January/ first/2007
Release Date-- 1/1/07=117 which is Master Chief's Spartan #

Also they took down a lot of Halo 2's release dates because Bungie demanded it.

static, youve got a good point there. however, this is the real world, and i dont think bungie can finish the whole freakin game in about 6 months.

Yes, but they have been working on it since Halo 2's release... They delayed it till next year for more wrap up time. They also delayed it because the movie comes out next year.

You people see something and automatically believe it, hoping and trying to convince yourselves that its true. Gamestop has it on the 1st of 07 because all they know is that H3 is coming out in 2007

What the hell are you talking about?? This post makes no sense. That was just a rumor started after Gates stated something about Halo 3 being a secret weapon. It was the weapon against PS3. I am sure that Bungie and Microsoft would love to release Halo 3 at the time of PS3, but it just isnt happening. OR MAYBE IT IS!!??!?!?!?!?!?! lol

Or maybe it isn't. We have a specific date on the release of the PS3 and it isn't in '07. It's later this year.
