Yeah, looks like it'll be released in 2010: http://www.haloreachbeta.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6
@Ken,

Not in this thread it's not. "Stuff only sells more over there because everyone over there is st-st-stupider than us". C'mon, you expect 15 repeats of that same ludicrous statement to just go by unnoticed?

Elitist? C'mon, there's definitely one side being elitist as all hell in this thread, and it's those folks who know that OBVIOUSLY their opinion is right about taste in games and OBVIOUSLY everyone that likes different types of games is just a bunch of stupid oafs that OMG LOVE TEH HALOZ when Halo is fighting just to stay relevant over here.

Besides, the Wii is selling in gobs anywhere, so I don't really see the point in regards to the Wii unless they're calling themselves artards as well.

In spite of their similarities the 360 and the PS3 each have very different strengths both in the features they flaunt and in the types of exclusive games they have. Personally I went for both because I want it all, but those who can't afford both pick the one that suits their tastes better, and let's not sit here and pretend that masterpieces like Bioshock and Mass Effect are directed at brainless oafs who don't know how to think, no matter how many times your countrymen blindly repeat it.
I have $hit-tons of fun playing the games of this generation. Much more fun than I could have by spending that same amount of money on anything else. So, how exactly am I losing in this scenario? Because someone else gets rich by providing goods and services that I enjoy and get more than my money's worth out of?

Sounds to me like everybody wins. Sounds to me like capitalism...
While I don't claim to be an expert on this kind of stuff by any means, even the most casual joystiq reader should understand by now that the majority of money in the videogame market comes from software.

The Wii has sold a ton of consoles, but their software sales are waaaaaaayyyyyyyy behind where the 360's are, so it makes sense that they will have made less money overall even if they've made more on the hardware.

Of course, the 1 year headstart didn't hurt either.
I could play Gears for 24 hours straight with nooooooooooo problem.

Hell, if I didn't have to work and could convince my friends to do the same I probably would've done it by now.
I actually like the 360 box art better, but I'd much rather play as Vader and can't see how anyone could play a fighting game with the 360 controller (great overall controller, but useless d-pad) so this will be the first multiplatform game that I get on the PS3 instead.
Sweet, time to finally hook the Wii back up for a couple months before it gets sent back to its corner.

But what a couple months it will be.

I wonder if they chose which console got which character based strictly on the color of the console...
You know where else people can send any picture they want to your kid? ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET!

I guess this lady had better make sure her kids never go near a computer.
Yeah, but apparently burned copies work fine.

Way to go Nintendo, FORCE them to play pirated copies even if they want to actually buy the game legitimately.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
