French retailers show off Halo 3 stock

Halo 3 - Image 1 


With the release of the highly-anticipated FPS from Bungie, Halo 3, being practically right around the corner, it's certainly not surprising that Bungie's already making with the deliveries to retailers all over the world.

What's surprising - and very cruel - is the aforementioned retailers taking photographs of the games themselves and putting them up on the internet. Share the all-too-painful envy with us as we take a gander at the Halo 3 title in relative captivity, still in its fingerprint-free shrink wrapping. Oh, sweet, torturous envy!

Well, if there's any consolation, at least we know that the retailers have been given enough stocks for everyone to be able to nab a copy of their own. But with the game promising high-end visuals, a killer multiplayer experience and the resolution of the Halo storyline, maybe it's still a good idea to camp out for the game. It doesn't hurt to be sure, after all.

Check back here for more updates about Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. In the meantime, enjoy the screenshots!

» I don't believe it

I don't believe those are any different than the display copies already up at most game stores. This along with the fact that Halo 3 just went gold (meaning off to the manufacturers) makes me very dubious about the authenticity of this story. xbl gt: H0ngkong pho0ey

» maybe

altough you do see an invoice on top of one of those boxes but photo not clear enough to determine if halo 3 sku is on it. but i wouldnt be suprised if those were real, hince owning a gamestore myself.

» Gaystation fc

it looks like the gaystation 3 fan club have come in and tried to make halo look bad!!! I dont think so go back to paying loads and loads of money for the games! And you can stick blue-ray where the sun dont shine! Halo 3 game of the year!

Its already outsold a lot of games, and its not even out. I am not that hyped over halo, ill wait for more stock to come in. But this is definitely going to be a huge game. No wonder so many games delayed until Halo 3 sales settled down.

I really don't like Halo that much, but it took me away from CS and Unreal... It really is an amazing team game... The multiplayer mode is honestly unbelievably good... Halo 3 looks a little overdone (It was good in the first place b/c it was simple...) but stop bashing just to bash. It's an amazing game.

Your pissed because you don't have the money for halo 3 because the allowance your mom gives you every week isn't enough after you bought some naruto p.o.s. game for your D.S., or you simply haven't played halo

by cam - 2007-09-03 13:19
» those

look like limited edition to me

by GW2 - 2007-09-03 13:37
» thats exactly what they are

because they only have collectors editions not regular or legendary.

» um

yeah this was debunked by bungie themselves... about 2 days ago...



there is really no need or sense in bashing a game that isn't even out yet. you betray your ignorance when you do so.



bring on the unified console already, this fanboy ***** sickens me anymore...

» your right

killzone will be better



...AFTER it beats halo 3's sales and gets as many fans as halo 3 carries

» Hey H0ngkong pho0ey

Did you use that name from that show? about the dog that has the main theme song as Hongkong Phooey, I think thats still on Boomerang on DirecTV.



Sorry about the off topic stuff, just wanted to know.

anyone that says killzone is going to out-sell halo 3 are kidding themselves, pure and simple.



halo 2 still holds the record for the highest grossing entertainment launch in history, and all signs lead to halo 3 smashing that record.



the killzone series has never, and will never come close.



get real fanboys!

I played the Halo Beta and I thought it was good but nothing really amazing. It all just seemed a little slow paced for me, but saying that I did decide to make my own game on it lol.



Me and my friends (its his 360) stole two warhogs i think there called, and had to race around the entire map without being killed for the entire game, the person who did the most laps was the ultimate winner of halo 3 beta.

» This game will sell millions of 360 Elites you shall see

This game will sell millions and as Bioshock has done which is doubled the sales of the 360s in most of Europe so you can guarantee this will at least treble the sales especially the 360 Elite ..

Why the hell will we want a sequel to a game that got crap reviews.

Id rather have a game from a franchise whos games that got reviews like 9+/10.

Halo, Halo 2, And probobly Halo 3 all got 9+/10

Killzone got 7.5/10 as its highest review.

Hi im really 12 years old, because only 12 yr olds say things like gaystation, and also fail to realize that 360 and ps3 games are the same price. Thank you.

» NOT FRENCH

QJ stop getting your news wrong thats what happens when you copy off other people in case you didnt know theres a big difference between French and Italian.

by Jego - 2007-09-04 13:47
» Hmm really

Thats why Halo 3 will have more sales and Bungie doesnt actually put together a computer animated cutscene telling all its fans that its the real graphics and actual gameplay like the Killzone creators did which of course wont be anything close to what they told you it would be. Good Job

» Killzone better than Halo, just like last time right?

Message header says it all, I win you lose. Halo3 will > Killzone 2, count on it

» trust me here...

I work for MS, and I can tell you, those are fake. Just the display tins, and even those are wrapped in plastic.
