Those pics you posted have a different sticker on the front. Wish I still had the 2nd pic up so you could see it more clearly. Unfortunately I had to take it down.

It just became Gold 2 days ago . .

They probably went into production at pressing factorys yesterday or today or maybe next week . . . so i really doubt those are the games.

i saw the second pic, they were the same boxes. STOP SPREADING RUMOURS. they are like advertisements for the game. no game inside.

actually those can just be the pre order boxes or the boxes for reserving a copy of the game. because some stores give you a halo 3 box, with a poster in it. so those likely are not the game. and since its gone gold. doesnt that mean, its just beeen shipped the manufature, to burn them onto dvds and such, so i would guess it would take sometime for them to hit the store.

The game has not shipped at all. Those are pre-oder cases. A lot I would say but with pre-orders hitting a million I would say that could be possible.

[QUOTE="kingobaid"]

the games arent in there, their are just display cases for the limited edition.

its funny how they only have the limited edition boxes and not the standard edition ones

wreak

ok then why would you need all those boxes full of empty cases? that just doesn't make sence....

I ONLY C 6 BOXES OF HALO 3...THATS ENOUGH FOR DISPLAY

I will be holding that exact case in 25 days! I reserved the collectors edition at my local mall. I'll get my 360 back from repair just in time for the game to come out. I can't wait!

Ok, just for the kids out there. Here goes. The game went gold 2 days ago. That means that one of the master copies has went to the manufacturer to be duplicated millions of times, and put into there respective boxes (ie collectors edition and original edition). Now, dont get me wrong im sure it takes all but a few seconds to do one game box/disc. I seriously doubt though, that one month in advance to the release (keeping in mind this is only the second day it went gold) that they packaged up boxes of these and shipped them next day air to get to the retailer. IMHOanyway. Ill put 5 benjis on it that those are just display cases.

They are display boxes, almost guaranteed. And yes, some display boxes are shrink wrapped, because it makes more people ask if its the real game or not. "Oh dude, is Halo3 out?", "No, those are just display boxes!! Have you preordered it yet, because EVERYBODY is preordering, so you might not get one if you don't. Its only $5 down and it goes towards the purchase of your game!". Sound familiar? And to whoever said that employees can take games home and return them, re-seal them and re-sell them, thats totally not how that works. I don't know about every major game retailer in the US, but the major one I worked for, you could only check out USED games, and if you did want to check out a new game, you had to wait 3 weeks after the street date and they still had to have multiple copies left in the store. The only time we ever touched new games was to open the shrink wrap, take out the game and immediately put it in an envelope and file it in a locked cabinet, so we could put some more displays out on the floor.

It's really nice to create phony misleading threads like this to get people riled up over nothing! Anyways, those are NOT actual copies of Halo 3..those are only the display empty boxes...I REPEAT THOSE ARE JUST EMPTY CASES/BOXES..for display purposes only. The game just went gold so I doubt there in stores that soon. I also think Microsoft plans on shipping them out to stores more near the release date to maybe avoid possible copy's/leaks being distributed over the internet like Halo 2.

We all know that GameStop and EB Games like to take out the games and booklets before selling the game to a customer. Those might be for Pre-Orders but then again, why would they say 'FOR DISPLAY ONLY' on the front?

Oh yeah they definitly have the game. Or maybe they just have boxs with Halo 3 on them.

And if all you Halo fans are going to believe this and go raid a store then pick me up a copy of Heavenly Sword if it isnt to much trouble.:D

Vyse_Legends
 lol, I totally agree...we need someone to raid these stores...ahhhh, can't wait to play Halo 3!!! ;)

They look beautifull +_+ i cant wait for this freakin game.......people are expecting very little of this game just because of its popularity, theythink Bungie would not work hard on their games like Square Enix. But wait till its out, they will all see.Lord_Yuber
