    any videogame store employees know how they are going to handle this launch? everyone I know with an xbox has it preordered at the same store. when EB games shipments of Madden, they get somewhere around 30-50 total for that first big shipment. if Microsoft thinks it's going to get away with shipping that many on the first shipment of Halo 2, they will be in big trouble. people who preordered will end up waiting(and be mad at everybody). it could get ugly, but i'm sure microsoft is anticipating this, i just hope they do something about it. i could realstically see the first 3 or 4 shipments all being sold only to preorders at the average EB/Gamestop.

    I was talking to the guy at my Gamestop and he said they are getting as many copies as they have pre-orders, and when I pre-ordered it, i was about #200, and he said that they had one of the shortest lists in the area. They promised to stay open as late as necessary to get all 200-400 people their copies and they're gonna have pizza and pop for the people in line.

          Should I pre-order it now just to be safe that I will be ensured that I will get a copy or will I be able to get one a week or 2 after it's released?

              I finally went ahead and put down $5 for a limited edition at the nearby Gamestop. They now say pre-orders for the limited edition will be a week later than the other one. I think I can wait an extra week, I've waited this long.

              Regular edition is still available on 11/9.

                  well, you might want to switch that to an EBGames order, as im going to be getting my limited edition on the 9th.

                      I would just pre-order it now. The hype for this game is UNREAL.
