One of the biggest games coming this year is Halo 3. According to Microsoft, over one million pre-orders have been made making it the fastest video game pre-sale ever. The Legendary Edition of the game (with the Helmet included) is expected to be sold out before the game is released in September!

Microsoft also announced that Halo 3 is the sponser of the summer's Projekt Revolution tour, as well as went into detail on how they are promoting the game. So now we will expect to see Halo 3 on Mountain Dew, Slurpee Cups, and even on a car!

With the highly anticipated Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 scheduled to ship in North America September 25, Microsoft has confirmed that over 1 million copies of the game have been pre-ordered from North American retail outlets, marking the fastest pre-sale in video game history, according to the company.

"This September, Halo 3 will push video game entertainment into the forefront of mainstream culture," said Chris Di Cesare, director of creative marketing at Microsoft. "Teaming up with some of the world's strongest and most recognizable brands is trailblazing new paths and cementing video games as big entertainment on par with major event films, and is a testament to the excitement and anticipation intrinsically linked to Halo 3."
