A trusted Wal-Mart (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wal-mart) source has sent Joystiq an image taken from the company's intranet, "The Wire," showing a listing for Halo (http://joystiq.com/tag/halo-3) "Blue." We've also received an unverified tip detailing Halo "Blue," though it's unclear whether that information stems from the same retail listing. With so little information available about what Blue is, we're guessing the shown Sept. 30 date is placeholder. The Microsoft press conference is in less than 12 hours, so stay tuned.

I actually didn't like Halo Blue. It tasted too fruity to me.

Now Halo Twist, that's something I can get behind.

Yeah, it's the new version of Halo/Mountain Dew "Game Fuel", lol. Ugh...did anyone ever try that stuff. Terrible.

I honestly didn't think Game Fuel tasted too bad at all (it's the one that was tangeriny, right?). I only tried it once or twice, though.

Or "Halo Blue...yeah, I'd say it did."

I'm gonna laugh my ass off if it turns out to be these, in a blue color, and everyone got their hopes up over a misprint... Because no one seems to be paying attention to "TORNADO" clearly written above it.

You are all wrong, this is the Halo 3 epilogue where Chief goes back to earth and becomes a pop star, then decides he wants to act. His manager doesn't agree but let's him do it anyway. Pretty soon he starts to get in over his head with risque parts and posing nude and has to run from a crazed fan....or is he a fan?!?!?!?!??!?!

I actually liked it. It made me feel more battle ready...or maybe that was just gas:?

Yep...that's what it looks like to me, at first anyways.

If you look in the columns to the right tho, it also sez "X-Box 360 shooter", so who knows?

So when is Halo: Supernova coming out? And will Hello Kitty be in the game? This may sound beastly but some may want to strangle that kitten.

Wait a second, I have something wrong here..

Looking to the right of the listing for 'Tornado' using the same observational strategy, one spots "NDS" and "Strategy" printed. Tornado and Halo "Blue" are two completely separate entries in ol' Wally World's games database.

My guess would be some moneygrab special edition or other such Halo re-release.

It's really just code for Guitar Hero: Halo Edition.

Why not? They're selling out every other way.
