Bungie: Retailers Don't Have Halo 3 Yet
>> Some blog sites have been reporting that Halo3 games hit retail stores already (with pictures of Halo3 boxes), but it's obvious Bungie is not gonna ship their game 25 days early to retailers ... and anyone who visited a retail store recently knows these (empty) display boxes are everywhere (at least here in Europe). Anyway, if you're still in doubt...

We don't know who REDDOGG is... he could be MS, it may even be someone at Bungie who is out of the office and grabbed a disc.
At this point, a FEW people have legitimate copies of the game. These people are not supposed to be playing the game on Xbox LIVE.
No actual copies are available to any retailers yet. The photos that surfaced earlier were EMPTY promotional/pre-order copies of the game. Many retailers have had these for a while now. It was a hoax.
However, we are just days away from real copies starting to legitimately leave the manufacturing plant. We are doing everything we can to try and keep the game story secret and not have the game get out early but sadly this is probably inevitable. The earliest anyone will officially get a copy is some members of press which will be around 9/22. Reviewers are playing it beforehand but only at Bungie or MGS controlled events. Nobody gets a disc. And then their reviews are under an embargo until 9/23 and even then, they are agreeing to not disclose story spoilers in their articles. We're trying our best but once this baby gets momentum nobody will be able to contain it.
