Microsoft have confirmed that thier hugely anticipated game Halo 3 will be released in the USA on 25th September and in Europe on the 26th September, they have yet to set a release date for Japan.

“‘Halo 3’ is much more than a video game release; it’s the biggest entertainment event of the year,” said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business. “On Sept. 25, we intend to deliver a finale that will go down in entertainment history and leave people around the world with an experience that will be shared and enjoyed for years to come.”

The game will come in three versions, Standard Edition, Limited Edition and Legendary Edition and it is expected to increase Microsofts Xbox 360 userbase significantly.

When we get more information we will bring this to you, but in the meantime if you have a special copy of Crackdown then why not download the Halo 3 Beta version as this is due to arrive today.
