Well curse me for a lazy slob, and then rejoice! On my first reading of the item at GameStar.de, (reported here) it appeared that Halo would be delayed by four months after the X-Box comes out. It will be delayed... for the PC, that is. According to GameStar's information the X-Box version will be shipping with the X-Box. Happy Day! (Possibly in less than a year? Read on...)
Additionally, some squeakings from the rumor mill suggest that the X-Box may be out in Q2 of 2001, and may only cost $150. If there's any truth to these rumors, then it's time to start selling plasma now!
