Halo 3 Goes Gold Posted by XanTium | August 29 14:32 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From the press release: [QUOTE] Most Anticipated Title of 2007 Released to Manufacturing, Begins Final March to Xbox 360 The wait is almost over. "Halo 3," the final chapter in the groundbreaking "Halo" trilogy and the most anticipated game release of 2007, has been released to manufacturing. Three years in the making by renowned developer Bungie Studios, "Halo 3" is now finished and will begin its journey to store shelves around the world in less than four weeks. "Halo 3," which has already set new records as the fastest preordered game in history, has exceeded one million presales in North America alone. The title is set to shatter day-one entertainment sales records when it is released worldwide beginning Tuesday, Sept. 25. "This is a huge milestone for us and a big cause for celebration at Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios," said Harold Ryan, Studio Head at Bungie Studios. "This is the game we've always wanted to make and certainly the best game our studio has developed. We can't wait for gamers to get their hands on it on Sept. 25." Created by legendary developer Bungie Studios and exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, "Halo 3" will set a new standard for interactive storytelling and social gaming by engaging consumers worldwide in Master Chief's epic battle to save humankind. In November 2004, the world's view of video games changed forever with the release of "Halo 2," which generated a record-setting $125 million (U.S.) in sales within the first 24 hours and changed the way people think about interactive entertainment. Three years later, it remains the most-played game on Microsoft's Xbox LIVE® online gaming and entertainment network, with nearly 1 billion hours of online gaming logged to date. [/QUOTE]

Ahh I psyched!

[MickRaider]

so that's like 10% of the total 360 owners have the game pre-ordered. That's a little astonishing. Although I expect sales to be pretty comparable to the 360 itself.

I mean how would you buy a 360 and not get halo

[nightmare84j28]

Hell yeah!

HALO FRICKEN 3 BITCHES!!

[kawaxbox]

[xboxgamer999]

it's a good thing that I'm caught up with the story.

[oxjeremy334]

Wouldn't this be considered platinum?

[Trex666]

Meh Halo...
Halo 1 freaking awesome
Halo 2 great but a shite ending
Halo 3 I believe is way to hyped up imo

Oh n I believe Halo has started a contagious disease spreading to every game studio. I'm seeing more and more games with regenerative shields and health.
WTF...I mean what happened to searching for armour and health packs. Regenerative shields makes everything so piss easy. Just gota fanny about in a corner for that bar to fill up then go again.

I'm getting the standard edition which means I can buy it anywhere. That also means I'm not going to preorder it because the store I preorder it from may sell out. Wally World, Frys, Best Buy, and my sure fire always last resort: Target will definately have a copy. Game Stop? Maybe, maybe not.
