You know how Microsoft is constantly pushing the message that the future will be connected, and that this will make us all able to communicate with each other whenever we damn well like? Well, maybe the company ought to get its internal communications sorted out before it goes on about that any further.

According to Microsoft UK, Halo Wars will not be "available at retail starting February 28th", as Robbie Bach, head of Xbox stated as the Consumer Electronics Show.

A message sent out by Microsoft in the UK states, "We have several different release dates circulating following some misinformation shared at the CES. Just to clarify with everyone, the release dates have not changed and are as follows:

"- Japan and Asia Pacific: Feb. 26
- EMEA: Feb. 27
- Americas (US, Canada, Mexico and South America): March 3"

Bach's comments led many to believe that the US release date for Halo Wars has been brought forward from March 3rd. That, according to the information above, is not the case.
