Halo Reach being sold early in UK - confirmed

UK retailers have delivered Halo Reach into the hands of gamers three days before the game's official release date.

CVG forumites have informed us that they have received paid-for retail copies of the game from online entertainment sites The Hut and Zavvi this morning.

The news comes after online claims from gamers that isolated supermarkets and indie game retailers had already begun selling Reach on the High Street.



With the street date broken, other entertainment retailers are now likely to also begin selling Reach early - in order to ensure they don't miss out on pre-release revenues.

One CVG reader (Ricflair) has cemented legendary status by sending us a pic of his copy - which came through the post from The Hut earlier today.

Bungie has revealed that it will be resetting all in-game achievements on the official release date of September 14 (Tuesday).

The first Halo Reach review snuck out earlier today. US mag Game Informer awarded the title 95 per cent.
