Halo 3 Released to Manufacturing

A couple of days ago the folks over at Bungie Studios sent a little something out the doors. They released the final code for Halo 3 to go to manufacturing and reproduction.

Three years in the making by renowned developer Bungie Studios, Halo 3 is now finished and will begin its journey to store shelves around the world in less than four weeks. Halo 3, which has already set new records as the fastest pre-ordered game in history, has exceeded one million presales in North America alone. The title is set to shatter day-one entertainment sales records when it is released worldwide beginning Tuesday, September 25.

“This is a huge milestone for us and a big cause for celebration at Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios,” said Harold Ryan, Studio Head at Bungie Studios. “This is the game we’ve always wanted to make and certainly the best game our studio has developed. We can’t wait for gamers to get their hands on it on September 25.”

It’s pretty impressive to me to think they’re expecting single day sales records for this game in the stores in less than 4 weeks. I’ll be it’s a pretty impressive process to see these factories churn out millions of copies of this game ready to be put on store shelves. I’d like to see that on “How It’s Made”.

Oh yeah! If my boss is reading this. If I happen to call off of work on Wednesday, September 26th, it’s only a coincidence okay?
