Halo 3 Dated

We're moments away from the Halo 3 beta being available for download - and Bungie drops a shocker.

Halo 3, which was originally slated for a November release (according to most gaming retailers), will arrive on U.S. shelves September 25th, while the European release drops the following day.

Now, if they can deliver on this beta in a timely fashion, I'll be super impressed. However, with millions of speculative downloaders, I'll be surprised if we don't break the series of tubes that make up the internets.
