“The excitement for ‘Halo 3’ is incredible,” said Jill Hamburger, vice president of movies and games at Best Buy. “From our preorders online and the buzz we’re hearing in our stores, we know this release is going to be one of the biggest entertainment events of the year. We’re thrilled to be able to bring it to our customers.”

Wow one million, seems like MS doesnt have to worry about their fall lineup since one game makes it their worthwhile xD

I thought Gamestop stated a while back that they had taken 4 million preorders for Halo 3 by themselves.

I reserved the Elite edition the day I bought Gears of War, which was last November.

Yesterday at a 7/11 I saw they had a sign for Halo 3 preorders. You know this is going to be a huge game when quick marts are going to sell it.
