So i was scmming throgh Future Shops online game manual, and i wanted to see how much Halo Pc was running for now. Then it seems under that there was an ad for Halo2. This is the description.

Pick up your SMG. Now pick up another one - it's time to roll. You’re the Master Chief; a SPARTAN II soldier clad in Mjolnir battle armour. Armed with Cortana, an AI with an attitude and due some serious vacation time after recently disintegrating the "Halo"(just your average threat to life, the universe and everything), you're called back into action

If you look closly you will see Release Date March 31/07.

This now gives me some reason to beilve that Vista will beciming out around the middle of March.

That's interesting. I think they would get in trouble if it wasn't close to the truth, because they are collecting money from people. Maybe Bungie is getting ready to release that info and they just jumped the gun.

Large game companies take money without knowing an exact release date all the time. They do it so they can get as many preorders as they can, even if the true date isn't know. Take Final Fantasy Advent Children. Gamestop had a preorder option up for it for about a full year before it actually came out. It usually creates a fuss because people jump in and say "ozmg thier dates iz gonna b teh realz!" More than likely, it's speculation.

I don't think that's an accurate release date.

no it says estimated release date 31 mar/07, up top higher on the page

right under the red 59.99 thing, this is just an estimate


But who the heck is Future Shop?

I say it's bunk. Anybody with half a mind can come up with a formal looking website, put any random day on it, and claim that it's the actual release date.

Make sure you know who you're getting your information from.

Future Shop is owned by the same company as Best Buy.

Make sure you do your research before you post.

Dude, every game is like this. They simply put a release date so that people can guess when they'll get their product.

Same thing will all MGS titles. AoEIII's expansion has numerous dates, and none of them are true (Gamespy discussion with the producer told the community that). Some dates come from EB games.

Overall, its not true. Plus, is march 31 a tuesday? I think not.

H2PC is stuposto be a Vista lanuch title. Thats what M$ said at E3.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

M$ says a lot of things.

Yes but they might want to actually give Vista a chance to get out into the market before releasing the game. It's coming out April 8th cause that my birthday. :)

Right. My argument still holds true. Who the heck is Best Buy?

If that doesn't make sense to you, lemme rephrase it. Who the heck is Best Buy to say when the official release date is?

Likewise, make sure you read the post you're quoting before posting. It's as important as doing your reasearch.

Okay buddy you must be American becuase Best Buy and Future Shop are the two largest depratment stores for everything electronics arcoss Canada. They are also located in The early part of the states close to the Canadian Border.

I'm sorry for the confusion me15ter.

I'll only beleive something from MS or Bungie.

Sendit has been giving stalker dates for over a year. I dont think that game is ever likely to come out. If it does its going to be behind everything else, its been in the making too long.

Best Buy? What's that? Is that a retailer which is known for its consumer electronics, personal computers and related goods in North America? Surely it's not the place where I got my copy of Halo PC? My copy of PJKK:TOGOTM?

Nah, I'm just joking. I love Best Buy.
