Halo 3 Marketing, Preorders Begin
Posted by Chris Leckness on 12/31/05 in Game Systems

Preorders and marketing have reportedly gotten underway for what will probably be the most high sales volume video game in history. According to CVG, the madness has begun, including preorders available on several sites and retail signage beginning to surface. However, as many who preordered the xbox 360 will attest, preorders don’t mean squat a lot of the time. I’m looking forward to this game as much as anyone, but please don’t lock up your money now in something that doesn’t even have an official release date yet. EB Games, the original site reported to have preorders available, has already removed any reference to Halo 3. Whether this means they sold out or just thought better of it, I don’t know, but the lack of any info should show you that this isn’t exactly the most legitimate preorder ever. If you feel the absolute need to throw away money now, allwire seems to claim to still have it available, although they’re using a sample image (top right) for the packaging that I saw months ago, so this isn’t really much new. Purported release date is June 1, 2006.
















It’s funny that these stores are taking preorders for a product whose existence hasn’t even been announced…
