Wow - I'm pretty shocked by this. One or two days is one thing... but a FULL week? WTF? Surely MS will jump on them big time...

Catalogue retailer Argos has begun selling Microsoft's highly-anticipated Halo 3, a week before the official release.

The news comes from the forums of Eurogamer.net, where users have been posting pictures of boxed copies of the game, along with receipts.

Argos' online store shows which locations currently have the game in stock, and users are able to order a copy of the game with collection dates of "Wed 19 September – Thu 20th September."

Both Microsoft and Argos were unavailable to comment at the time of writing.

I get the feeling they will make more from sales than they would be sued by Microsoft :P
