Microsoft sets launch date for Halo 3
By
Microsoft said on Tuesday it will release its Halo 3 video game on September 25, a hugely anticipated event that the software giant hopes will help drive sales of its Xbox 360 gaming console. The regular edition of Halo 3 will sell for $60, with two limited editions going for $70 and $130.
By moving up the launch of Halo 3 to the month of September, Microsoft is betting it will spur sales of Xbox 360 consoles, giving it a larger user base in time for the year-end holiday season that is the high tide for video game sales. The game will go on sale in Europe on September 26, but Kim said Microsoft had not set a date for Japan, where the Xbox 360 has been eclipsed by Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PlayStation 3.
