It seems that UK retailer Argos accidentally released copies of the biggest game release of all time, a full week before its official release date.
The UK retailer mistakenly allowed customers to purchase Halo 3 for a short time before discovering the error and immediately pulled the title from the shelves.
Microsoft has responded this afternoon by stating that it would not punish Argos for the mistake, as Microsoft believes it to have been an honest mistake. How uncharacteristically kind of Microsoft.
So kids, if you have any friends who live in the UK, and when you talk to them they brag to you about having Halo 3 before you, don’t just blow them off, because they might actually have it.
