Microsoft pre-sells 1 Million copies of Halo 3

Microsoft has reported that it has already pre-sold 1 million copies of Halo 3.

Halo 3 is the “fastest selling preordered video game in history,” Microsoft claimed.

A number of major online retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Wal-Mart, are accepting preorders for the game. “What we’ve experienced is nothing short of phenomenal,” said Bob MacKenzie, senior VP for merchandising at GameStop, in a statement.

Most retailers are selling the title for around $60. A special “Legendary Edition” sells for about $130 and includes a helmet-style case, bonus discs, and collector’s art. The game is scheduled to ship Sept. 25.

There is also a cool Halo 3 Legendary Edition releasing soon as well.
