ust found this on the net, looks credible. Is it a -blam!- - up by the company and the date is wrong. Or is it true?
I do remember something about Bill Gates wanting to launch Halo 3 at the same time of the PS3 launch but I thought he was joking.

Best Buy Set A November Halo 3 Release Date

Leading USA Retailer Best Buy have put a release date of 11/16/2006 on Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. What's most interesting is the year they specify (2006), retailers putting up products in advance without knowing a confirmed release date are common in order to encourage organization. If this is true, this would from a strategic point of view make sense in order to combat the hype surrounding the launch of the PS3 in November.

Perhaps. I personally think that "2007" is just wiggle room, remember what ahppened when Halo 2 was rushed?

Constant state of war, of one, with all.

dmillar, it was also announced afterwards by Bill Gates that he was getting gitty and that the decision to launch Halo 3 was up to Bungie. Then E3 happened and Bungie released a trailer that said 2007.

That's so far away, that if they confirmed it, I'd cry.

The way the gaming world works, games that come out in the summer generally do not do as well as near holiday releases, Halo 3 will not likely come out on July 7th 2007.

Most of the time, games are released near the holiday season. It's probably to be released around 11/22/2007. (Long way off)

I am...whimsical today.

The teaser said 2007, and I think Bungie would post a revised release date on the website as well as telling gaming stores

If I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good nite.

7/7/07 sounds good to me. July seventh would become a holiday.

I thought it was a March release, idk but when I saw the trailer I immediately thought of March being the release date.

WOW think before you post !! Bungie has explicity
claimed that Halo 3 will not be released until to 2007.
If you look how long Halo 3 took to make, you can
imagine, that they probably won't realease it until
even HOLIDAY 2007.

Bringing the Thunder

If they wanted it to release in 2006 they would have said it in the trailer. It will be 2007. Period. End of discussion.
