News Xbox 360

Europe gets it days ahead of US.

Microsoft has confirmed exact release dates for its 360 strategy game, Halo Wars - and the original prediction of February was only half-right.

Halo Wars will release in Japan and Asia on February 26th, in Europe on February 27th and in North and South America on March 3rd.

Pre-order the game at a participating retailer and you'll get an exclusive in-game Warthog with flame decals, whether you buy the Limited Edition or not.

You'll find more Halo Wars information, including hands-on impressions, at the Halo Wars gamepage.

Err.... when you pre-order the price automatically is adjusted when it gets reduced in price.

As mentioned, the price is adjusted. I know with Amazon, they only charge you when the item is dispatched, and they have a "pre-order guarantee" meaning if the price changes between when you ordered it and when it is sent, you pay the lowest price between those dates.

Not if you want to then add in any discount codes at a later date (all three being prime targets for 10/20/30% off here and there)...

I tend to prefer pre-ordering at the point I am happy with the price, as there is no guarantee/legal requirement that a retailer (other than Amazon perhaps) has to pass any reduction in price onto anyone pre-ordering at a given point in time.

Just like Optimus Prime in the recent-ish Transformers flick, flames on anything will automatically make it 67% more awesome....... Well, apart from humans.
