bungie says it will be due 2007, so expect a 2007 release date

Halo 3 will be relased in 2007. Why trust Best Buy over several statements made by Bungie?

"Finish the fight 2007"
"when the game ships in 2007"

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Many gaming stores just post a fake one to get your attention.

The only thing that's true is the "2007" part. You guys seem to forget this pretty quickly, but retailers are required to give a full release date, even if it's just an estimate, in order to offer pre-sale information.


There you go.

Best Buy wouldn't just make this up for gimmicks. Maybe a mistake, by an employee, but not a gimmick.


They have no date at all, so guess what they are doing they are making one up... The probably just haven't updated the date since Bungie said 2007. Does no one remember that Bestbuy, ebgames, gamestop etc had all these random dates posted for Halo 2's release, and all these stupid threads were popping up just as much as they are now. And all these people said "No Bestbuy is right, Bungie is lying to us" and guess who was telling the truth just like they ALWAYS do? Bungie.

if it was released in 06 (which is most likely false) i would be upset because it would be released too early and bungie would be rushed to get it done. sure, we would have it a few months sooner but think of how much more they could make with another half year or so.

OMG!, he’s right guys! if bungie released halo 3 this year instead of next year......we......wouldn’t....have to wait tell.......next year to play it!!!! OMG!, has anyone told bungie this!? i think we should tell them. yep, they would be so proud of us for coming up with awesome ideas all the time.

please. for the love of god, i really do hope bungie does not under any circumstances come to these forums for ideas. if they did; all the Spartans would be turned into giant fluffy pink elephants that ran around shooting super accurate battle riffles that were fully auto and shot grenades. Lets all just leave the creativity to the people who get paid to be creative.

No one should ever be afraid of looking stupid, so long as they are making a rational effort to expand their understanding.

Stated by Best Buy

I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is it would definitely explain why there is no price drop for the Xbox360 this holiday season.

Oh, and don't let this die. This is kind of big. Atleast for me it is.

It is fake release dates like this that get the sheep in the forums to bleat "OMG IT'S DELAYED AGAIN WTFBBQ?!!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!"

Hell, I still see posts in Mombasa talking about how Halo 2 was delayed even though the only release date Bungie gave was 11/9/04. These kids need to stop believing every set of digits Best Buy/EB/Whoever gives and wait patiently for the real news at bungie.net.

kpaul busted this rumor and said 2007.

best buy knows nothing that we dont. they merely create a random date in order to encourage pre-ordering.
