07.07.07 WILL NEVER HAPPEN its Saturday, July 7th 2007, games get released on tuesdays, no if ands or buts.

01.01.07 WILL NEVER HAPPEN its Monday January 1st 2007, again games get released on tuesdays.

Although, 777 doesnt sound unresonable,
there is a way to get three 7's... out of one date,
with only having two 7's in the actual date...
what am i talking about??

11/7/07

not only do we have 117 from the first part of the date 11/7

but if you add (month + Date + Year) 11+7+7 = 25

your answer is 25. from here you will add 2+5=7
your answer is now 7

now if you add that extra 7 to the end of the date you end up with

11/7/07/07


I hope i explained it well enough.. what do you guys think?

11/7/07 wil never happen. I can understand why people speculate the release date to having something to do with the number 7, but it's not logical. They wouldnt never release it then, why because it would kill their profits. PS3 is going to be released in november, so why would microsoft wait until a year later to release a game that could destroy the profits of a rival game company? They wouldn't, just think if your rival was releasing a console around 2007 and you had a game that had the potential to ruin their profits, would you wait until almost a year later to release it?

"Next Halo Hits March 2007 Microsoft plans for wide-open spring 2007 launch.

The next Halo is coming in March 2007. According to a Microsoft source who asked to remain anonymous and a second source close to the company, IGN today learned that Microsoft will publish the next Halo game (as predicted in January) in March 2007.

When phoned, Microsoft declined to comment. While the holiday season remains the most important set of months to publish a game, the first calendar quarter of the year is proving to be bigger and more prominent in sales. Microsoft intends to innovate, challenge traditions, and to use its own "playbook" (as Microsoft's J Allard has said time and again), and slotting Halo 3 (or Halo Forerunners, or whatever April Fool's gag you choose) in March 2007 is likely to shift consumers' priorities. That anticipation will overlap with the first few months of Sony's and Nintendo's launches, cutting into their building stages, and shifting eyes toward and opening wallets for Xbox 360.

By theoretically shifting Halo to next spring, Microsoft thus allows third-party companies a better chance to shine independently of Bungie's uber shooter during the fall 2006 season. One must wonder, however, why the game wouldn't come out simultaneously with the movie, due in summer 2007. But if Halo 3's alleged March release date is officially confirmed, perhaps the game will leave questions for the movie to answer.

Btw i dunno if this is 100% accurate but it seems alrite.

They will need something to counter the PS3, a Killer app that will sell the 360. They will need the Halo hype to be at its peak by this time so that people will change there mind last minute.

Think about it, people will think
"do i want to spend $399 or $599?"

THEN they have to think about Halo 3 being on the 360 and the 360 is cheaper.

so after that logic they just went through, they will no doubt buy the system with the game. Leaving the PS3 High and dry.

They got that information from IGN.com, it was speculation as well.

games sell most on the holidays, and Microsoft wants to battle the PS3 around that time, so think about it. Its there ultimate weapon against PS3.

Think about this as well, the Halo Movie would be a huge hype to people that never played halo, so if that comes out in summer, people will be anticipating Halo 3 in fall.

hmm yea gates did annouce that halo 3 will be launched when ps3 is launched. but thats just pointless releasing the game just to combat ps3 on the same day. But you have a point there sycomunkee most likely it would be released during holidays.

Lol but we already know this xD

What about the movie coming out in summer of 07 then the game being released in fall of 07? wouldnt the movie hype the game up to more than just people that have played haloCE and Halo2?

I'm surprised too, March would be the worst time to release the damn game. so i think they are speculating as well.

besides all halo games have been released in November.

Pretty bold of them to print it promising day of release delivery and take pre-orders based on speculation. I wouldn't have thought that different times of the year makes such a massive difference, but I've been wrong before. Plus, Bungie members have been playing multiplayer games so it's pretty far developed I guess, would they torture us by making us wait 8 whole months (Actually they probably would lol)?

Edit: grammar

Gamestop.com, ebgames.com.....etc have all been taking pre-orders for Halo3 since middle of last year, each website had there own speculated date. This website is no different. The only thing MS and Bungie have stated is 2007, not month nor day, just a year so they dont have to push back the release date and p!ss there fans off. SO nobody knows when its coming out, we just know it is.

Its not that they are bold either, they want your money now instead of later...
