So I was making a quick preorder to try to secure a beta code when I find this:

Do you think it's the actual release date? Or some kind of gaff on Amazons part?

June 30th has been the placeholder date on Amazon since Bungie announced the game would come out in 2014, so I would be surprised if it's the actual release date :)
DON'T WORRY GUYS I'M ON TOP OF IT!

It actually says that much on the product description page. Then again, June 30th is technically in the summer, so I expect that date to move up at least a little bit given today's "Spring 2014" announcement.

I've seen that release date all over the place, it's basically just a placeholder. So I wouldn't really take it to heart, especially since I don't think June qualifies as part of Spring, more or less Summer really.
Kinda think not...

I saw that too, but didn't think they'd let Amazon be the one to announce the date first, so I didn't think to mention it.
Also June, especially late June, is technically summer, not spring, and that wouldn't go with the official "SPRING 2014" announcement in the Moon trailer.
I admit though, season-definition tends to be a bit more squishy when related to games (and movies) release dates.

Personally I think my original estimate based on the timetables for Halo 3, ODST, and Reach is making more and more sense. I'm estimating April/May.

I hate to break it to you, they told me they actually just aren't going to let you play it until your birthday...
June 30 2014 != Spring 2014

Probably just a placeholder date.
Wait, if it comes out in Spring or Summer...

Pfft. You could LIVE outside and you wouldn't get a tan.

I've already made the definitive statement on the matter. Don't be fooled by the marketers.

You are making a game with a huge world that you want populated by players. Call it shared world, call it MMO, whatever.
So. Would you rather release it in spring, when all the college kids get out and can spend all day playing, or fall, when they are all GOING to school, and will have no time?

Students will play a game whenever they can in great binges avoiding their schoolwork. I know for sure that they were addicted to World of Warcraft and are surely hooked to Call of Duty, and both were released in the Autumn months. Grand Theft Auto V didn't seem to have a single problem earning $1 billion in just a day when most of America's students were headed back to class that week.

Your logic and reasoning, while valid, are trumped by my intuition and Schooly Sense™. Or have you forgotten my position as one of the Seven Sages of B.org?
