UK and NYC so far.

We've had 1 early sale in NYC so far, it sounds like the bulk will be hitting friday or saturday.

I just hope if it's friday it's early in the day, i'm heading out of the city around 2:30 for Yom Kippur.
 
Not sure if this has been said before, but some users on Major Nelson also like to spoil. If you don't want to know, I suggest not to read comments on that site for now:).
 
My brother just picked up Halo 3 @ Pamida in Arcadia, WI.

Street date has been officially broken. Pictures will be coming shortly. :lol

Street date has been broken for a while. MS has to keep the other date simply because of the sheer amount of marketing behind it.

Isn't that store like a ShopKo store? If so I'm checking the one across the street from my parents. Please be there!

And i thought i was going to post something awesome. lol.

Oh well, I'm about to make the 3 hour drive to make it there before it closes. For anyone living in western wisconsin, should make their trip to arcadia, he said there was a pallet of the game sitting out.

What happened to "wait till noon PST". I have a feeling this will keep getting pushed back.

Noon was the shipping cutoff time. Any order placed after it is delayed until tomorrow for shipping. New Egg ships at 4:00 PST, but it is, apparently, the norm for them to not update their site or send out tracking emails till much later, so tomorrow is your best bet for knowing for sure. Don't bother contacting them, since it will only serve to increase awareness further and you'll only get the same response everyone else who contacted them did. Just wait till tomorrow.

Newegg sends tracking information on shipped orders between 9PM-11PM PT. So check your email after midnight ET to see if your order has shipped.

It's like they're spitting in your face and asking if you want more.

I only play on normal unless I'm playing co-op.
 
WTF? The last 20 pages are people talking about their online orders being stuck at step 4 and what not. What a fucking waste to time to ply through. You people should be discussing all things about Halo 3 THE GAME from news sources and people who got the game early. Who freaking cares about your failed attempts to get the game early?

I do kind of agree with you, but you make it sound like a forum is some kind of organized on topic entity. This is how every thread devolves. Instigator huh :lol

At this stage, all people want to do is play the game. Then we can talk about it.

Besides, most topics have been thoroughly discussed (if not in this thread, another Halo thread). We need to put it into practice now.

You should have seen the Gears thread where some of the launch got botched. It's what happens. People are ready to play the game and just want to get it.

My first Halo playthroughs are always on Easy/Normal, but then I'm one of those story addicted suckers. I want to hear the dialogue and sight-see first.

Don't do it.

We should be getting some Forge MP videos from Bungie this week from "Rocket Race" if Luke's word is anything to go by. ;P
That's a big "if" Luke, isn't it? ISN'T IT!?!? I KNOW YOU CAN READ THIS!

Make it happen, or else.
I cry myself to sleep. :(

I can empathize with people trying to get the game and maybe even talking about the process, but it just makes this topic ballooon so quickly and diificult to squeeze relevant information from.

I'd have questions to the people who already have the game and played it but these people completely disappeared like, 10 pages ago, whining and gamer angst took over. Topic now useless.
 
Who else is setting up LAN parties next week? I know I am and a buncha of my friends will.

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS!!! :lol

Those videos will be on Bungie Favorites that you will be able to watch on your 360. Not on the Interwebz.

A Texans avatar would look so much better there after Sunday....

Thats because there playing the game. Not because the board is flooded.

Whoah. Just checked my order, it's legit.

I got the exact same email from GAME :p

Lakitu said:
Any UKers here, who has ordered Halo 3 from www.game.uk.com? I know there is a few, but I just wanted to know to hear about the status of your orders.

Me, at the moment mine says:

19/09/2007 22:28:33 Your order is waiting for authorisation and release for packing

I think it will still come on wednesday, or possibly on tuesday since my copy of Bioshock did arrive a day early from them.

Fingers crossed!

HMMM, sounds like a weekend project. :D

Sounds like we should stop sending the game to press.
lololololololol

Great, I can't wait to see all of Halo 3's cinematics in AMAZING Game Web Site flash windows.
EXCELLENT
