In a note to investors this week, Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian predicted Microsoft's efforts could help Bungie's franchise recapture the title of World's Fastest-Selling Game from Blizzard's World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. Tabulating preorders and estimated initial sales, Sebastian notes that sales for Halo 3 could "quickly reach" the $200 million sales milestone.
"We expect that significant preorders and broad consumer anticipation of Halo 3 will result in one of the largest and most successful product launches in digital entertainment," he said.

Biggest video game launch ever- and MC is silent on it.

Just wow...

Presale paid for (Legendary edition) we got our ticket for our place in line- hauling at just before midnight to go stand in line and pick it up.

Jupiter is dead to me for a while....the only way I'm getting play is if I come to bed in Spartan armor with an SMG.

I didn't get to pre-order it and now I have to wake up earrllyy and try and get it

my friend got it early so I've already played it

it's alright and Halo is a fun series though I'm really getting sick of how overhyped it is

I'll have to say Microsoft does good with it's marketing

Watch out if you got the limited ed version (metal case). Just about *all* of them the game has come loose and is flopping around in the case and gettng all scratched up in the process. So if you are getting this version I would suggest opening it up right there after you pay for it and check out both of the discs.

Picked up the Legendary last night- now I have a Spartan helmet on my entertainment cabinet.

wooo.....

Game is beautiful- the settings are stunning.....have yet to play it- just watched.

Right now I am so exhausted- took a 4 hour nap before the release-waited in the rain and cold for the game- then got about 3 hours of sleep before work-I need a nap.

I don't play M Rated games so I'm sitting halo out....


I kinda want to play it though... but I'm not.

Don't play M rated games?

By choice or not allowed?

Bummer- because Halo is so not violent (well- gruesome anyway)

so true

I think I've seen worse in a PG13 movie unless there's something in story mode that I missed?

the multiplayer at least is rather mild I thinks (compared to alot of moviez or other M rated games)
