Microsoft sent over an e-mail with Halo 3’s release date, September 25 in North America and a day later for Europe. If you have Crackdown or you’re lucky enough to have a beta key, the multiplayer beta begins in a few hours, 5AM PDT tomorrow and will run until June 6th 11:59 PM PDT. Halo 3’s release date is an interesting time, two days after the media blitz of Tokyo Game Show and way before the massive influx of holiday releases.
