Haha, I don't even have a pre-order. Ah well, things worked out fine with GTA:SA. Plus, since I work at Best Buy, I'll ask them if they can give me a copy early (like an hour early, since I get off work at 11pm).

Can't wait.

Best Buy in Mississauga, Ontario is having a Halo 2 tourney. Starts at 7pm and runs until 11pm. Grand prize is a crystal xbox pack with Halo 2 and 1-year xbox live.

My EB has like 300 preorders. I think I'll get there at least 2 hours early. I don't feel like getting out of there at 2 in the morning.

My Gamestop has over 400 preorders. I'll be working from 10-3. Good times.

i'm just gonna show up at 12, since my EB will be making 2 lines... one for preorders and one for prepaids... i think it'll be nice and smooth. They moved well over 100 people in 5 minutes for GTA SA... So I don't think I'll have much of a problem :D

I don't think theres any one game I'd wait in a long line for anymore. If its a console launch along with a handfull of games then sure.

For Halo 2 I'll pick mine up the next day.

Hehe sucks if you want to buy another game, anyway I have to work till midday tomorrow so I will go to a shopping center and pick it up from EB or somewhere else (I have no preorder).

Anyway I don’t think there will be a big shortage in Australia, I still considering not buying Halo 2 because I could get SC2, KOTOR and another title for the same Price.

It won’t be a good idea to buy this game with exams in a few weeks!

The EB I pre-ordered from has close to 700 preorders. I think at this point I'm more excited about witnessing a riot first-hand than I am about getting Halo.

I'd be there if I weren't working (I'm at the Bramales City Centre location where there is no tourney :()

I'll be there at 12 o' clock. Can't wait. Should be interesting to see what type of people this game will bring out at midnight.

The same sort of people who would go out at midnight to get ANY game.

Really? Maybe I don't need to get there so early. I'll just call in the afternoon and see what they say.

Hay guys. We need more threads on Halo 2. Could you possibly make a few more?

Might as well rename this the Halo 2 board come Nov 9th. I can't wait to see all of the complaining threads and bans :D

I have no idea when I'll head to the store to pick my copy up....Ok, I have an "idea" because it goes on sale at 12....With 1000+ preorders, I don't know how early people will be lining up. I'd hate to show up at 11:30 and not get my game till 1 or something like that.

Going to Toys R Us at 11:55 PM, calling earlier in the day just to make sure they got their shipment. If not, Wal-Mart ho!

Well you need a car to get to Sherway, and there are quite a few other EBs within driving distance of that EB....therefore people have other options. Anyone who lives downtown, since this is the only EB seems to be preordering here, while Sherway has the "benefit" of a more spread out market.

1,000 preorders? So maybe the EB clerk wasn't lieing afterall when he said there were close to 600 at the EB over here? Maybe its common in your guys neck of the woods but 600 in numbers is astonomical over here.

Halo2 had better not disapoint. :)

If you're expecting an awesome multiplayer game with a decent single player campaign, it won't. Just don't go in expecting the second coming of Christ.

Buddy Christ-Yes, I'm looking forward to it-the single player,then coop. for with friends,and Xbox Live. If it plays as the original did then thats more than enough. I'll be glad once its released though,I'm rather sick of all the internet hype.

I never use to believe what folks said about the first game being the sole systen seller but after all this hype for its sequel I think I may have been wrong,heh.

Fuck I haven't seen this much hype in one game since FF7 or GTAVC.

DECENT SINGLE PLAYER?! NOTHING SHORT OF GREATNESS SHALL BE SPOKEN OF THE ALMIGHTY HALO 2 OR YOUR EYES SHALL BE PLUCKED FROM YOUR HEAD, YOUR TONGUE SEVERED AT ITS BASE, AND FED TO THE BEASTS OF THE UNDERWORLD!

Unless.

Tell me about it. I'm working from 5 PM to 3 AM, then 9 AM to 5 PM six hours later. I'm staying up as late as I can right now so I can sleep in late.

how much does it cost to open at midnight for one of these things Vs how much you make from selling a couple extra copies?

Hey, it's more like 84 hours for some of us :( Think of us euros when you come to post about the game here! No spoilers! Or, should I say, no more spoilers (thanks Drinky)! ;)

IF anyone bitches about my upcoming "Less than 24 hours to Nintendo DS" thread, I'll...

... have seen it coming.
 
Damn, I just got back from a store and this was the response to my question about could they sell Halo 2 little bit early; "Please come back 10:00am thursday morning." :(

Stupid PAL release date. :\
