I said I was gonna pre-order at 7-11 or Best Buy, but I'm hella lazy and did neither. So I plan on standing outside the EB down the street and trying to score a LE. I did it with Halo 2, maybe I can do it this time with Halo 3. If not, I'll score a regular. I can't resist standing outside with fellow losers like myself.

They're doing a special event in Seattle, though.

Fuck that, I'm going to EB after work on Wednesday. They called and said to be there at 9:00 on Tuesday for a midnight sale.

Bellevue, not Seattle.

Nope, I don't think I've ever waited on line to get a game/console since picking up my FF7 preorder...

OH BUT MAF SAID WA ROX WHAT DOES IT MATTER

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #9 on:** September 23, 2007, 09:57:07 PM »

I learned my lesson after Halo 2. No more midnight launches. I'll just walk into a store on Tuesday to pick it up - on my lunch break.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #10 on:** September 23, 2007, 09:57:27 PM »

Seattle and Bellevue are very different from one another, Demi.

It will be interesting to see how many kids skip school at work on Tuesday.

If I didn't already pre-order on bestbuy.com I would just roll by my local 7-11 and get one. I actually checked to see if the guy I know would sell it early to me this weekend, but he said they hadn't gotten them yet.

Is Best Buy going to have the game on Tuesday or Wednesday? I'll pick it up on the way from work/school depending on what day it is.

Heh, I do that a lot. I'll go get a game on my lunch break and then sit in my office and look at it.

abrader · « **Reply #17 on:** September 24, 2007, 02:53:23 AM »

Im not sure I could have faith in my local 7-11 to deliver.

They cant even get the cokkin GameFuel slurpee machine to work

drohne · « **Reply #18 on:** September 24, 2007, 11:19:42 PM »

alright, HERE'S MY SITUATION: i've got a collectors' edition preordered at gamestop.com, but it was too late to cancel by the time i found out about the disc scratchy thing, and i'm kind of touchy about that stuff. so today i managed to preorder what is apparently THE VERY LAST COPY of the basic version at the local gamestop. i'll probably just pick it up tomorrow at lunch, though i might do the midnight thing if i'm not sleepy. i'm just going to return the collectors' edition.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #19 on:** September 24, 2007, 11:25:49 PM »

I was gonna drive by the Gamestops and take pictures with my bitchin 10x zoom camera and then ridicule the pictures on my blog, but then I realized doing that might say more about me than anyone standing in line

abrader · « **Reply #20 on:** September 25, 2007, 01:15:00 AM »

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #23 on:** September 25, 2007, 09:48:23 AM »

Mupepe · « **Reply #24 on:** September 25, 2007, 10:27:50 AM »
