Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasnt bill forced to retract that statement after speaking to bungie? I believe they said "we'll release it when we're ready"?

did bungie even give an offical release date (obviusly not specific at this stage)?

Has bungie even officially announced it?

what, that there will be a halo 3? yeah they have. or atlest everone that i have talked to seems to think so

digitalhigh: exactly.

And remember the thime when Xbox was more powerful than PS2? ATM Sony fanboys said that specs don't matter, it's the games. Now they brag with the specs of PS3. PlayStation fanboys suck really much, they're complete idiots. I've been thinking about getting a PS3 after about half a year after it's released, but now that I think of it, I'll propably get a DS. Or something.

EDIT: I forgot to add something.

XBOX FOREVER!!

yeah, there is absolutley no doubt in the world that the xbox is a superior machine over the ps2.

it will now be interesting to compare the ps3 vs the 360 when the ps3 is released. honestly i think sony will go consertive hardware wise.

call me an xbox fanboy, but i can see very little that would tempt me ps2 or ps3 wise.

Second, Halo was created to be a franchise instead of a two part story, but Bungie are currently working on porting Halo 2 to the PC themselves, and not licensing the port to a third party like they did with the first Halo.  They've also said that after 5 straight years of working on nothing but all things Master Chief, they're getting sick of it, and their next new title would be unrelated to it.  (Can't remember where I saw that though.)

yeah, i have also read that a bit as well. and it does make sense. i cant remember whether they were focusing halo 3 on someone other then the master cheif, or they were working on a completley different game.

[ferrari_rulz_02]

but how much of what sony says do you believe when it comes to teh ps3? almost everything they have said at soem stage they have either retracted or contradicted. honsetly, i wouldnt be putting any money on a launch date for atleast another 6 months

[roboangel]

IT's already confirmed by Sony, the launch date of PS3 will be on November 2006 at no less than $425 USD.

[bumr055]

never!
