Yet another retailer jumps the Halo 3 gun

Yes folks, we’ve got another retailer jumping the gun with their own pre-order for Halo 3. Wal-Mart is offering pre-orders for the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, which they say will be shipping on October 1.

The Wal-Mart listing for the game is the standard Legendary Edition info that’s been mentioned in other stores. You’ll be getting the game, three discs filled with extra content, a stand to place your Xbox 360 games in, and the Mjolnir helmet that’ll presumably fit your cat’s head.

We can understand that it’s a great way to keep the cash flowing into their stores (keep checking their site, and maybe have an impulse to get something on the way out), we wish they’d keep from posting their own seemingly arbitrary release dates. Let Bungie actually mention a definite day for Master Chief‘s return, and then drive Halo 3 fans insane with a countdown of your own.

On the bright side, Wal-Mart’s pre-order IS cheaper by 17 cents. Hmm…
