The Halo bundle is scheduled to be released on the 20th Oct according to Amazon while the game will release on the 27th. Is this right?

Yes. As I said previously, they do that with almost every bundle that comes with the digital version of the game. They give you time to download before the release day so you are 100% ready to play it at 00:01 that day.

WRONG! It's 00:00:00:00:01 actually.

I wonder if MS will do something a bit different. If they drop the 500GB model to $299 as a phase out move and put the 1TB model in at $349, and thus reduce all 1TB special bundles also by $50, this would get sales moving without having the base sku at $299. Once the 500GB model is sold through the base model becomes the 1TB and the base price remains at $349. As long as they carry the 500GB model through to the new year is means they will go the whole holidays with a $299 sku on the market, but shouldn't suffer the same new year slump as they did this year when they raised the price back to $399 for 4 days.
