[quote:8387a]If I showed up at the release thing at exactly midnight, would I still be able to get a copy?

not unless you reserved it usually. Gamestops around me are pretty gay for games like this, and dont let you just walk up and buy a copy the day of release.[/quote:8387a]

Eh, not really true. Gamestop orders a ton of extra copies (unless my store is totally different than the other ones), its just that there are plenty of people who do not preorder. They order a set amount of games, however... If Preorders exceeds what they get (they can order more, but can't order more than are made, of course) then you won't get a game. However, I was told even with our almost 800 preorders there would be enough to still sell some un-reserved. I'd say give it a shot, its not that they don't let you, its just that sometimes they are sold out. They may be here, not sure yet though. Hope not, since I work tonight, have to wait til everyone is gone to get my copy, sooo...

contemplating picking up my reservation at midnight or waiting until the morning, don't want to deal w/ 100+ people when I'd rather be sleeping.

So is the pistol back or is it still nerfed?

[Mitsukai]

Mine had 500 and theres easily 3 other stores within 2 miles lol.

And if you didn't preorder Halo don't expect to get a copy tonight. Gamestop is being gay and only selling Midnight release halo's to reserves. You could get lucky with a nice manager, but don't count on it.

[izembo]

we had a little over 200, but theres like 35 stores in the atlanta area.

also, stores should still be selling to non preorders tonight, they just have to wait till after all the preorders, and if they get there before midnight, they can still preorder it.

Played in random ranked matches today for about 5.5 hours, and it seems I'm inflicted with my Gears Syndrome again (my bullets don't do anything and everyone else's are canon slugs). /rant

Hmm... wonder if I got some kinda special copy, my case doesn't look like that.

[MisterBob]

I wonder if 24/7 places like Walmart will release it at midnight

You're a dirty whore...


...and no, I'm almost certain you got the collector's edition whereas the cover above is the standard edition cover.

[Bweigelt]

Walmart is doing a midnight release for sure. Hell I think even the Zellers near my house is doing a midnight release.

EDIT: Just realized no one in the states would know what zellers is. Think of it as Walmart with everything marked up $10.

[Bloodanaki]

I know 7-11s near my house have em on sale at midnight -.-'.

I guess so you can buy a case of game fuel AND your copy of Halo 3!

[izembo]

really a shame game fuel tastes like total shit
