Microsoft delays Halo 3 to late 2007

Though Microsoft had never publicly confirmed its shipping plans for Halo 3, an expected blockbuster title that will run only on the Xbox 360, I'm told that this week's announcements around the title confirm rumors that the Halo 3 release has been delayed significantly. Microsoft on Wednesday said that Halo 3 would ship in late 2007 but that the company would release other Halo-related content for Xbox 360 users earlier in the year. The announcement, auspiciously, came on "Halo Day," the five-year anniversary of the release of the original Halo game.
Also, Halo fans will be able to purchase a PC version of Halo 2 beginning in early 2007. This version of Halo 2 requires Windows Vista and will provide much higher resolution graphics than the original Xbox version as well as a custom map editor.
