Thats a tad soon no? I was expecting a release date along with game footage at E3. 
That has to be wrong, all we have seen of this so far is a face, no teaser trailer, no gameplay, no nothing

Extremely, extremely unlikely. Just trying to generate sales.

Probably to increase sales in pre-orders.

Exactly.  We haven't seen jack shit on the game.  Funny because the image even says the artwork isn't final.

It's most likely just a placeholder date to allow you to pre-order it, but you never know. Gamestation updated their internal 'release dates' sheet which has it (and literally about 11 other unconfirmed games) all coming out on the 24th of September, which we usually take to mean "Probably before christmas!"

Online stores usually assign a random placeholder date to games. It won't come out then.

It's HMV dude. They can't accurately tell you what's in their store now, let alone what going to be in it soon.
 
It's just a way of generating pre-orders.

No one knows the release date. Not even Kojima himself.

That is just a place-holder, so that you can pre-order it.

i think they are just putting that there to make some more money. they know there are people out there that are looking for game information. 
 
is this a exclusive to xbox 360 or coming out for ps3 also? i don't remember a lot of information about it. i just knew kojima was making rising.

What they've used there is Konami's standard Q1 release date for games (although I believe it's Q4 in their fiscal year). Everybody saying that it's a placeholder is, of course, right. Expect the game Q4 2011. (That's our Q4, the holiday season.)
