Hot on the heals of the announcement yesterday that the Halo movie will be released in Summer 2007, Microsoft announced today that they will delay the release of Halo 3 to coincide with the release of the movie.

Fox And Universal have come to terms with Microsoft, finalizing the Halo movie contract and agreeing on a Summer 2007 release. It was also noted that MS is planning to launch Halo 3 at the same time as the movie to “optimize marketing potential”. Could this be true? Has Microsoft abandoned its original plan to coincide the game’s launch with that of the PS3?
