Subject: the date, and bungie

if best buy has set a release date for halo 3 (which is UNTRUE) why hasnt bungie said anything yet about that date, they havent debunked it or even brought it up, ANYWHERE, unless they are just keeping quiet to help best buy make money, i think its stupid, they busted the screen test menu for halo 3 but haven't even said a word about november 06.best buy is stupid though cuz bungie did say 2007. i just wanted to say this.

obviously nobody here knows the answer to that, but it is somewhat interesting to point out

same thing probably happened with H2

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

They require a release date, by law, to begin placing preorders. It doesn't matter whether or not you make the date up, but you must have one.

The problem is Best Buy, EB Games and the like all want a date, desperately need a date. Dates mean pre-orders, pre-orders mean MONEY NOW !!!

I'm sure if you read some fine print somewhere in the store it'll say something about release dates being estimated and yadda yadda.

Bungie couldn't beat that with a thousand lawyers.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Well considering that we have a standing statement to the effect of "No release date is official unless we say it is" we don't really need to say anything. If you're gullible enough to believe a retailer that they have a date when we won't say anything other than "2007"... then, well, I don't think us saying something otherwise is going to dissuade those people.

If you are stupid enough to believe a store, then you do NOT deserve anything from Bungie. It is not their job to keep you individuals who have no sense whatsoever, informed.

  • 07.06.2006 6:40 PM PDT

i dont believe bungie, i am just saying that best buy is stupid because they say its coming out in 06 when bungie,the ones who are releasing it, say its coming out in 2007

  • 07.06.2006 6:43 PM PDT

Companies that do pre-orders make up whatever date they want. Take Oblivion for example. EBgames had a release date set a year before it actually came out. They just kept pushing it back until they finally got an actual release date from bethesda.

Trust me it's going to be November 07. Because November is xbox month it's where xbox has the biggest thing come out. Both halo games came out at november. xbox live did gears of war is going to. And what's bigger then halo 3 so yea halo 3 will probably come out November 07.

I Think its march 1st 07 because they are almost done with halo 3 anyway the updates prove it they said that they are already playing halo 3 singleplayer/multiplayer so its only a matter of months

Yeah I hate how some people in different areas can already reserve a copy of Halo 3 and Bungie hasnt even set a date of when its coming out.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I remember when my Local EB games kept saying that Halo 2 is coming out on September 21st, 2004.

Whats even worse is that they ave been saying that even a month after Microosft and Bungie stated that it is coming out on November 9th, 2004.

So of course Best Buy are making up these release dates.

Not sure why, but whenever I see this reaction to a moderators response, I think of something along the lines of this.

You dorks, I've got all the info right here:


Halo 3 - November 11th, 2007
Halo 4 - July 23rd, 2010
Xbox 420 - November 24th, 2012
Halo 5 - November 8th, 2013
The 2nd coming of Christ - December 31st, 2025

I don't kiss anyone's ass, ever. I do not submit to anyone wether they can ban me or not. I just do it for a joke. I had one for Shishka in my signature for a little while because he pwns you in the face.
