I bet Bungie is going to release halo 3 on July 7, 2007. Wouldn't it make sense to release it on that date because Bungie is obsessed with 7 and that dat is 07/07/07. don't you think so?

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

They'll release it when I tell them too. Seeing as how I own everything.

The Bring Back Bloodgulch Group have many members looking for more its kind of an unofficial petition to Bungie to bring back Bloodgulch in Reach http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/bx3g/Group/GroupHome.aspx

i think that having it on the ninth would be cooler just for the fact it would make it a holiday pretty much!!

I predict sometime in the late fall or early winter. Probably late October to mid-December 2007 though.

From a business stand-point it's the most logical. The closer you are to a large consumer purchasing holiday (in this case, Christmas) the more sales you will capatalise on. Even though I'm sure they would do fine releasing the game randomly at any time, they would largely increase their sales by releasing near Christmas, which is what most suspect they will do.

First of all, you can't release any good game on a weekend or in the summertime. That would be practically considered suicide by the game developers. Last thing EB, FYE, and all of those other big name retailers want is six hundred crying kids and their mommies on their doorsteps when the game comes out.

or maybe they'll release it when the PS3 releases 'cause Bill Gates says so...
and maybe I'll sprout a singing and dancing lima bean from my skull and go on Broadway.

Both are about as likely.

1/1/07.
Get it? 117, Master Chief's number? Also, think of how much publicity they would get if they released it on New Year's Day. It would be part of the news coverage for that night: a countdown to the New Year AND the release of the final Halo game...brilliant.

Sell the pre-orders around the Christmas season as gifts, then release it on New Year's Day, which by the way would be: 1/1/07...117, Master Chief's ID number. Think of it, all the news channels on New Year's Eve would not only premiere the countdown to the New Year, but also the countdown until Halo 3 is released to the public. The media coverage and the publicity would be massive. Absolutely brilliant...

Very nice. It works out into a conveniently strange coincidence, like it was meant to happen...hmmmmmm. Bungie is up to something...
