Remember what happened with halo 3? Bungie denied its very existence, yet we saw advertisements everywhere for it in stores. The same thing could be happening with the release date.
I'm just copy over my post from the other best buy post:

Wow, people.
Best-Buy cannot lie about release dates whenever it feels like doing so! I have said this countless times before. If they give you a date, it is most likely official.
No... it's not official, because it's not from Bungie. It's people like you that think that Halo 2 was pushed back when its release date was never official until it was November 9, 2004.
But if Best-Buy has November 16 on its site, then where do you think they got it from? Hm? You honestly think that Best-Buy would magically make up a release date for the damn game? You honestly think they would purposely piss off their customers with a fake date?
They're not doing it to piss people off, they're doing it get your money. What do you think's a better way to get your money: say that the game is coming out early or that they have no idea when the release date yet?
Don't you think that maybe...just maybe...the same could happen with the release date? Maybe Bungie denies the release date, but then when November 16 comes around the corner, wouldn't it be dandy to see Best-Buy sending halo 3 in the mail?
Which do you think would get Bungie more money lying about the release date or giving us a guess? The problem with lying about the release date is that then people won't know it's in stores. Also, if this were true, what'd happen is everyone would forget about the game that Microsoft cares the most about this year: Gears of War.
I'm gonna have to believe Best-Buy on this one. It is wrong to think that a whole company would lie to its customers about its release date.
No it's not wrong because it's a placeholder release date to get as much money from idiots like you as possible.
