Date discovered in Bungie teaser, possible 1/6/09 release

After analyzing the recently released Bungie teaser with a fine tooth comb, eagle-eyed tipster LiquidThunder noticed a date in the trailer's "reboot text". The date, about 37 seconds in, is "01/06/09" which instantly makes our overly enthusiastic fanboy brains think, release date! But, as with the teaser itself, we aren't exactly sure what the date means. Let it be known that January 6th, 2009 is in fact a Tuesday and in the States, Tuesday is traditionally the day new releases make their way to store shelves. Keep that in mind and KEEP IT CLEAN.

[Thanks, LiquidThunder]

Nice find. However, after Christmas I will have a plethora of fine gaming entertainment to take up all of my limited time, so they better say something soon if they plan on squeezing this onto my rotation. Otherwise I will opt for other games in place of this. I guess if it is cheap DLC then it might be another story. Either way, TELL US ALREADY! I bet it has to do with the extra unknown cheevos...

Any HALO DLC strikes you as cheap so far?

If it were a significant campaign add on, 800 pts would be fine, I would use it. 800 for more multiplayer: no. I do not play online as much. I really like playing campaign though. To answer: no, no content has been cheap. I picked up heroic for free and have yet to get legendary, hoping one day it will be free, even though many say it will never be free. Never is a long time.

I still have hope for it being free, I just think they'll make it free come the next map pack, and they just don't want to say when that is.

Why are we so sure it's not June 1, 2009

9-25-2008 @ 12:24PM

Andrew said...

Because Bungie is a company based in the United States and in the United States we format our dates MM/DD/YYYY

10609 appears at least three times in the trailer. The first as mentioned above, then again later in this string:

48 0x00078605 0x1000 + 010609

and finally on the screen with halo3 on it in this string:

0000 01 06 09 00000

And are we sure that the +221291 that is after the date means nothing?

Thats home much money they are going to make......in millions.

Glad I'm not the only one fed up of Bungie and their over priced DLC.

I doubt they'll release anything prior to Halo Wars.
