If you're a fan of video games, then I'm quite sure you're aware that one of the most anticipated games of 2007 was released this past week. The third installment of Microsoft's popular Halo trilogy, "Halo 3", hit store shelves on Tuesday, September 25th - and they sure didn't stay there for long! Back in May 2007, officials for the video game store GameStop reported that pre-orders for Halo 3, which runs on Microsoft's XBOX system, had already reached the four million mark in North America alone. By the close of opening day, Microsoft had confirmed an astronomical $170 million in sales, making it the largest single-day release in entertainment history.
