I can't believe how many pre-orders halo 3 has in Melbourne its insane, some places have over 300 pre-orders with over half of them being Legnedary Edition. Pretty much every Eb in town is having a midnight launch.

Halo 3 un-Believe-able

I remember hearing from someone that his Gamestop had around 3000 preorders. This was in the US of course though.

My God thats beyond insane

Maybe 300, not 3000. They can't have that many in stock. Can they?

 

[FFChris]

I've thought of a way you can avoid spoilers being shouted over XBL, basically plug your headset into your controller, turn it down the the lowest setting and play without it on.

Simple, and you won't hear any voices.

 

[electricpirate]

Ohh man, I'm getting so pumped, I think it's time to see if I can bump my order up to cat helmet edition.

PUMPED SO PUMPED AM I.

Something about them having the record for most preordered on the East Coast. Dunno, serious eh?

He disagrees,

But can his voices spoil halo 3?

Or you could just block voice communications in your privacy settings.

Well my way is much more creative...

Arghh! the spoilers!

This thread is now dead.

Sad.

 

[tombur]

The intro is damn good, music is really cool, animations great, lighting amazing,

Spoiler

and the sergeant is awesome

Some things I don't understand, but i'm not going to pull my brain in half to think about it, i can wait

This thread is now dead.

Sad.

Just a slow hour, it will pick up soon.




I hope.

Almost to page 191, and everybody knows what that means...

Or you just stay off XBL until you beat the game.

 

[Brannon]

And I shall take the 10,000th post in the meanwhile.

It so is not dead

I'm one of the victims from last night. I slept on it, and I still want to find that MF and beat him to a pulp. I couldn't even sleep. And then once I did fall asleep, I had nightmares about it...i feel so emo. BUT IM SO PISSED

 

[Calm Killer]

Just a slow hour, it will pick up soon.




I hope.

There is nothing to talk about....Really....My 7-11 have complete idiots working at it. They are like a game? no no we don't have anything like that. They didn't even know what halo was. I also stopped at a 7-11 in another town and I asked if they had the game and the woman tried to sale me cigarettes.

[Ghost]

Maybe Im just in a bad mood but this pisses me off:

Westminster City Council have refused to allow GAME in Oxford Street (London, UK) to open at midnight for Halo 3 because of 'fears about crowds safety'. No problem with that, except for the fact they did let Borders open at midnight to sell Harry Potter!

Not that i ever actually go to midnight launches, Im just wondering what it is they are trying to say about the difference between the Harry Pooter crowd and the Halo 3 one.

While I missed the spoiler and it being ruined for you truelly sucks....
You still don't know the how, when, where, and why... all you know is what happens.

All is not totally lost.

don't be a dickhead.

 

[Gowans]

thats shitty Ghost.

Just gave a call to the place I have preorder from, haha the guy said they would only be open till 2 and not to be late. :lol like there is any chance.

 

[Brannon]

Well that's stupid. Instead of having a late night crowd, now they'll have a day crowd blocking other businesses, with more people to interact with.

But if that's the way they roll, fuck it.

 

[McBradders]

Where are you getting it from?

Also, the Police wouldn't let Game open at midnight for the PS3 launch either. Cops hate gaming; confirmed. Go read a book, nerds!

 

[_dd_]

=/ It's an LOLcat

lolcats do not offend people.

 

[Gowans]

Where are you getting it from?

Both Game & Gamestation are both opening here in Sunderland city centre.
If you citys giving you the shaft maybe there a 24 hour supermarket that you can just rock up to, you'll be fine.

That was because they were affraid that muggers would just wait around the stores and steal PS3s off the kids as they walked home late at night :lol

Just caught word of the UK launch event from a banned site (the one beginning with "S" and ending in "g"):

Stephen McGill added, "To celebrate the launch on Tuesday 25th, Halo 3 is taking over the BFI IMAX cinema in Waterloo (UK's biggest cinema screen) where lucky fans and a number of top celebrities will be going head to head playing Halo 3 on the giant screen. Tickets to the red carpet premiere event can be won at www.xbox.com, along with giveaways in The Daily Telegraph this Saturday and on Kiss FM next Tuesday."

I guess that was what that Xbox.com competition was all about. Heres hoping a load of Gaffers get to represent there and hang out with Pharrell Williams, who has been given a lovely moneyhat to attend too.

 

[godhandiscen]

Wait, was this thread infected with non-tagged spoilers?

edit: normally I catch up by reading since i left off, but if such thing happened i will stop. Also, did anybody get banned?

I ordered mine from Gameplay so no lines for me, or staying up until crazy hours, I just hope they deliver it before I head to work otherwise I will go cry like an emo kid :3

 

[dante786]

Thank god and the mods. I just skimmed over the thread to see what I missed last night, and I've never been so happy to be away from GAF. Condolences to all those who got fucked by that retard. Too dangerous to post in this thread now, less than a week left thouugh.

 

[twinturbo2]

The Gamestop where I preordered my copy of Halo 3 is doing the midnight launch thing, so I'm good. Anyways, I missed out on the ending cutscene drama. Good thing, I suppose...

Good point. It could've been worse. Funny thing is,

I kind of expected that ending, I was just hoping to be wrong

 

[Mojovonio]

Futureshop is open at 8am the 25th.

Not press, an agency that works with MS; a few guys from our office are going.

 

[Mojovonio]

Shit, the mods took care of that spoiler FAST.

 

[Aleman]

Sucks for the mods that are Halo fans.

Only a couple of posts in 25 minutes.

WOW.

The terrorists have won.

 

[The Lamonster]

So shouldn't this thread be stickied now??

Also, Halo 1 armor confirmed (lower left) in IGN's new screenshots. Plus that Killzone-like helmet too (mid right). This is probably old (I've been afraid to come here lately).

Exposed spoilers have blinded people.

You should be afraid.
