Halo 3 Xbox 360 preorders pass one million

It has been announced today that the long awaited Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 has passed the one million mark for preorders in North America and presales are the fastest in gaming history.

Halo 3 is released on September 25th this year and it looks like getting hold of a copy come release day is going to be almost impossible as by the time it is all copies will be sold out. Good news for Microsoft and the Xbox 360.

Chris Di Cesare, director of creative marketing at Microsoft said "This September, Halo 3 will push videogame entertainment into the forefront of mainstream culture. 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."

Halo 3 looks stunning ;)
