Line at the Microsoft campus for employees
 
Until I saw this thread, I never realized GAF has such a younger crowd. I'm 25 and I feel old.

EDIT: Are those all employees of Microsoft that are in line or could anyone walk into that line?
 
On one hand, I already own a 360. On the other hand, The wii u will have no games for a while. The decision tears me.

The more I see of the Wii U, the less I want my pre-order. I'm mainly not canceling it just in case it becomes a surprise hit this holiday season and I can sell it for 4 million dollars to the King of Spain.

But buying a 'special' version of a console that has been out for 7 years is probably smart.
 
yikes, halo does skew young doesn't it.

25 here, was in line for halo 3, the final halo game, when i finished the fight, and it was over.

cheers to those in this one.

edit: oh snap below. that's good stuff.
 
I am going to try to walk into a game store tomorrow and buy without preorder.


this has worked with Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo Reach
It's not about getting it at midnight because omg what if they run out! It's about not being able to wait because the game looks effing awesome and you want to play it asap.
 
Because people want to discuss Halo and shit with other people? Step out of the basement sometime, it can be healthy.

lol yeah step out of the basement to wait outside a shop til midnight for a videogame you could easily grab the next day, nerds!
 
Yeah, I love how on the translucent console the spinning blue LEDs light up the entire console. I assume there's a similar effect on the controllers. I'll find out tomorrow.

I did not know the blue on the console was strong enough to illuminate a bit of the console? That is cool. I love blue led type of stuff. When I leave my gaming rig on overnight with the big side window and my blue lighting it looks really cool.

I have my Halo4 console payed off and I have all black entertainment unit with smoked black glass shelving. The blue on the console will look badass in my set up can't wait now!
 
I would have taken pictures but to my suprise when I arrived I was informed
The store I pre ordered at was not doing a midnight release. The wait continues.
 
Middle of nowhere Australia (Blackburn North, Melbourne) last night:

About 30-40persons showed up. More than I expected really for this location.

They handed out free soda and donuts!

My and my buddy ended up sitting at the same table as the parents who drove their kids to this... At 28 I was probably the oldest purchaser there (I'm suspecting most were 17-21) besides one 40 year old in a Star Wars T-shirt. With the exception of limited hardware launches this might be my last midnight launch participation I think.
 
i'm getting it tomorrow from amazon. i feel too old for midnight launches for games like this. besides, i have class tomorrow and need to go to bed :(
 
That sucks man. How many people do you anticipate was in that massive line?

I was at the campus store during the Reach launch and it was nothing like that. Halo 4 appears to be a bigger deal. Every Microsoft employee on my Friends list is now playing 4. Bastards.
 
Midnight Launch at my local Gamestop got cancelled , i was looking forward to going too. The Reach launch was pretty fun. We played Halo 3 LAN in the store for a few hours before the launch, and i ended up winning the special edition( the one with the noble team statues) in a raffle. Good times.
 
Standing in line at Lamestop. Seriously a billion people in line here. MS is making some bank on this one. Will post the comically long line pics when im home and done freezing my ass off. See you guys online.
