My recommendation for Bungie would be for them to email Best-Buy and tell Best-Buy that the game isn't coming out in November.

if they did not get mad at gamestop and eb games and a bunch of other stores when they kept posting fake dates for the release of halo 2, i doubt they'll be mad with BB

All that happens is people get disappointed (unless it comes out sooner then said on the site) and the stores make money.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

What about when gamestop said it was going to be out nov 06.

The dates are all subject to change they just want some cash in (pre-orders) before then, so why not just make up an early date, they have disclaimers already out.

Just wait for Bungie to say when, you never know it could get pushed back.

It's a selling tactic. In retail, an advertiser's job is simply to get you into the store, by any means necessary.

If you show up, there's a small chance you'll buy something just because you're already there. If not, well... if you didn't show up there would be 0% chance of you buying anything.

06' Master Race.

On the Halo 2 Limited Ed. DVD it said that it took 21 months to develop and ship. If that's true for Halo 3 then the release date would be in the Fall 07.

I don't know what Best Buy you go to but they sound like a bunch of idiots. You must live in Ohio. Or Montana. I don't have an answer for your question.

It seems like the best people to answer your question about Bungie's feelings are the Bungie employees, because we, as mere human beings can't read others' minds.
Try e-mailing them.
