Why the fuck don't they do that over here in England?


That'd rock actually cause im normally in a club thursday nights, i could come out early and pick up halo 2.


alwell.
 
On a related note, they're doing the same thing for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at my local EB.

*pats his preorder slip he got by trading in 3 crappy games*
 
speaking of pre-orders, anyone have a quick list of what other must-have games are out there worth pre-ordering besides Halo 2??
 
I don't know why you can't see the picture and the link to Ebgames' site. Anyway, if you're Canadian, the list only shows american stores. I know of a place in Toronto that's opening at midnight.

I wonder what the (many) stores that close at 9 PM will do. Just stay open till 1 or whenever it dies down? It says the stores will "open" at 12, but if that's only 3 hours later than their closing time, it's hard to imagine they'd leave and come back.
 
Go Sweden! More ppl pre-order it in Umea!! (Ò_Ó)9 They said they were gonna go midnight with a couple o' more pre-orders.

Whoa what??? You got GTA:SA for three games?

I got GT:SA free after trading in three shitty games, I took that credit and put it on the PSTwo. Now to go back and do it again, but this time i'll keep the money on GTA:SA :) Mwhahahahaha....
 
Oh yeah, this will be exciting!

Can't wait for the game! I seriously hope the internet play really does work well enough that standard Halo play is not damaged. Halo PC, for example, was nearly ruined when played over the internet (and even over a LAN!). This is obviously a different code base, though, so perhaps they have managed to keep things running smoothly...

I so can't wait to get Halo 2. This game alone will make my Xbox purchase worth it.



And Conker ofcourse :D

Deepthroat, may I ask where you're getting your Halo 2 copy from? :)

I find it hard to believe you can get SA free with 3 trade ins.
In fact, I don't believe you at all.

Go ask one of the EB employees. You can do the same thing with Halo 2 (the regular one I think, not the SE). The restrictions: No sports games, or old ass games (their discretion, they wouldn't take Metal Arms, but they took Wolfenstein). Regarldess, it's the best way to get trade-in $$$'s back, even if you don't want the games. Just trade-in games you don't want towards either GTA:SA or Halo 2 and keep the credit on them if you want the games. If you don't want those games, move the credit around next time you come into the store to whatever you want (ProTip: try to go to a different clerk than the one you went to the first time).

Have fun!

Where I have it pre-ordered you mean? Well, it's on a Swedish net store called Discshop.se. I saw you pre-ordered yours at Amazon which will be just fine I think :)

Sorry, I really need to proof read my posts! Also, cool! Yeah, I got mine from Amazon, can't wait for that baby :D
 
Bah. My EB store isn't on the lsit. :( But this midnight madness sale pretty much confirms the game will be shipped to stores ahead of release. Wonder if my local Wal-Mart will have it at midnight? :D

Yeah, it almost has to be pre-shipped, because it seems like places such as Best Buy are claiming that they will have it on the 9th. Or at least it seems like I've seen the date advertised at big stores.

Someone from one of the gaming stores posted here a week ago or so that they were slated to get their shipment on the 6th.
 
the hysteria that will follow the halo 2 launch could be at an alltime cRaZy level high.

i know all my buddies, every single weekend, can talk about is how we are gonna throwdown in halo 2. i have this mega huge halo 2 bash at my house on launch night, everyone has taken days off of work, it's gonna be fucking nutz around here. lol, my wife has done said she's gonna take the kids and try to avoid being at the house for awhile as she remembers the halo 1 parties and cringes at the thought of what the madness will be like in our brand new home when halo 2 hits. gonna be fucking wild... a night to remember.
 
109 Oakridge Mall 200 Oakridge Mall, Store No U-9 San Jose CA 95123
2810 West Valley S/c 5205 Prospect Rd, Ste 130 San Jose CA 95129
2844 Snell & Branham Plaza 185 Branham Ln, Ste 3 San Jose CA 95136

woo.
 
ive decided im gonna play single player for at least 2 hours before jumping on live.

i have a feeling single player will be something totally mind blowing, environments in particular.
 
I don't expect the launch to be broken in many places.

I think MS is gonna lay down some hard huge fines to those who try to break the street date.
 
What's making me foam at the moth is the fact that i'll be som enthralled by it's XBL play that i'll neglect the single player(as i always do with Live capable games), then one day i'll wake up and realize that i have a whole new game to explore!

At this point i'd willingly slaughter a entire litter of siamese kittens with my bare hands to have the game in my posession.....and i LOVE cats!
 
You guys are such geeks. Cool people, like me, only go to stores at midnight for Harry Potter books.

...what?
