Best Buy Gets its Halo 3 Release Date Right?

Xbox 360 gamers who’ve browsed through the Best Buy website late in June were pleasantly surprised with a November 16, 2006 release date of the highly anticipated first person shooter Halo 3. Of course, we know better than to rely on Best Buy’s ever-changing release dates. We don’t know their reason for stamping an earlier than expected shipment date, but they claim they have the right to make changes without notice. So we give them that.

Perhaps the release date was a mistake then, but it sure made some folks think that it’s Microsoft way of thwarting the PS3 launch – scheduled a day after the supposed Halo 3 release. Well, whatever the reason, that’s behind us now, as Best Buy changed the Halo 3 release date to a more credible November 30, 2007. It’s good to know that Best Buy is setting their info straight, even if it still appears they’re guessing.

Oh by the way, just so we’d have some comparison, Future Shop has posted an estimated release date of November 30, 2007 too. So, what does this tell us? What do you think?
