Preordering Halo 3!?

[XBot]

Despite the fact that the game hasn’t even been announced, stores started taking preorders for Halo 3...

As you can see, it states “Coming 2006.” It can be assumed Halo 3 will be an Xbox 360-only title since Microsoft stated all first-party development houses are no longer working on Xbox 1 titles.

My question is, where the heck did this store get the promo poster? I doubt it’s “official” promo material since the game hasn’t been announced. Here’s another reason why I don’t trust video game stores and pre-orders…pre-selling a video game that hasn’t been announced and there is no clue to when it will actually be released. Hopefully some people learned a lesson with the Xbox 360 pre-order fiasco...

I checked it out and the 3 was apparently just the Halo 2 "2" cut in half and reflected. The logo is therefore either an image created by stores to make money off of pre-orders or a very strange decision by Bungie. It is almost certainly the former as Bungie hasn't even announced Halo 3.

Yeah, something as big as Halo 3 doesn't exist until Bungie says so

*sigh* Some people are so stupid.
