Support NeoGAF

You shouldn't have said that, Luke. Lol, you = screwed, now. Every GAFfer will send a request. You thought had it bad before.

 

[Costanza]

I think most of us have used FEDEX, yes.

Ok cool. As soon as I see some confirmation that someone got their game tommorow, my order is going through.

 

[thatbox]

you guys that got confirmations for 21st delivery used FedEx, right?

Your avatar is just so earnest. It perfectly matches the lousy, slow boat we're both in, as NewEgg zooms past us running drugs into the country with the 1.2 million dollar speedboat chock full of Halo 3 DVDs

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

I'm embarking on a great journey tomorrow morning, GAF. I'm going to a store that is 3 hours away in hopes of securing a copy of Halo 3. I would've gone tonight, but it was too far to get there before closing time. Now tomorrow I wake bright and early so that I can arrive just before the doors open. Wish me luck GAF! Its going to hella suck if they don't have it or won't sell it!

 

[UnholySpectacle]

Oh, well I automatically unfriend people who beat me. BYE BYE RAMIREZ AND TRASHER

If I get the game tomorrow, I'll post in the thread and we can party up and throw down. If I beat you with your obvious advantage, something is wrong.

 

[TrueReligion]

I got UPS 3-Day only because Newegg only takes a day since they're so close to my house.

...I ordered @ 3PM today, and it still hasn't shipped. :'(

 

[LJ11]

i really want to play this game

someone give me a copy

I know at least one mom and pop shop downtown (by J&R) that will be selling the game on Friday, one more day.

You have good reason to believe they will, right? It's not just some random store?

Good luck, man. Quite a journey to make, but it's totally worth it.

I won't be playing matchmaking until the population gets a little higher than this weekend's expected turnout.

 

[SpudBud]

Luke, did you like COD4 beta?

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

Just got my UPS tracking number, shows shipped on 9/19, so let's see what happens.. worse comes to worse, I'll go to the warehouse tomorrow and act the fool.

 

[UnholySpectacle]

Strike, if we get it tomorrow, wanna power through the campaign in co-op?

I seriously had credit card info and everything all filled in and ready to submit yesterday and I backed out. shittttttt

Cool, so what are you doing work-wise right now? Can't imagine anybody kicking their feet up and relaxing till a few weeks from now.

I actually went to press the submit thing at around 2PM CST after an hour or two of deliberation, but that was when NewEgg thought they were sold out or something and all I had was red text in my cart instead of Halo goodness ;_;

Long interview with the guys behind the "Believe" ad campaign. It's a good read (even if, like me, you don't like the campaign). Adding to OP.

 

[Ramirez]

You don't mean that!

I just read the GS interview with Tyson, awesome interview! I love learning how levels come about and how they change over time, I can't wait to see the skybox he said that still wows him!

 

[Eric WK]

I want to put massive campaign spoilers in my Bungie.net profile as a giant F-U to the way-too-many FRs I have to deal with every day. I wish XBL had a way to block all people from even sending Friend Requests--I think even when I completely block communication I can still receive FR.

Not gonna lie, I sent you one back when you worked for 1UP, I think. So I can understand why people send them, but I also understand why you don't accept. I wouldn't either.

 

[Striker]

That Mark V helmet is great.

Debating if I'll have it for my armor once everything becomes unlocked.

 

[Aleman]

WTF! Newegg just sent me a UPS tracking number even though I voided my order like 6 hours ago. Guess I gotta refuse the shipment.... or maybe it will show up tomorrow

 

[lybertyboy]

For everyone who's received a tracking number from Fed Ex, I wouldn't get your hopes up yet. I'm pretty sure when Fed Ex comes by to pick up the packages from NewEgg, they will be given instructions to not deliver until the 25th.

Until, you see something on the tracking page that says "Out for Delivery" don't believe anything.

I always thought Luke and Frankie stole "believe" from GAF.

[cartoon_soldier]

No love from Newegg here. Step 3, no tracking number sent.

It's not even worth trying to convince them...

 

[Foolishfellow]

wow, i got an email confirmation from newegg... it shipped :lol

WTF? They said the 25. I think you people are full of shit.

 

[Flesh Into Gear]

Man, still nothing from Newegg and I ordered absurdly early. Even if Fedex holds it for delivery I'd still like to know that my package is being shipped.

 

[op_ivy]

Fed Ex already has the package, it says it will be delivered THIS morning by 10:30am EST.

 

[Aleman]

I ordered at about 9 AM Pacific, canceled at about 4 PM Pacific, and just now got emailed a UPS tracking number. Their website still says "Step 3."

Why did you guys use Fedex? Fedex is garbage. I'm pissed that Amazon Japan is using them now. I have a package from Amazon Japan coming in tomorrow, and I'm already dreading it. Last time they told me they would arrive at around 9:00am, but the dude showed up around 5:00pm. I wasted my day waiting for the retard in nasty heat. That was a redelivery too. FUCK THEM!

 

[Ramirez]

this one?

Nope, that's Isolation, he was talking about Construct in the interview.

I missed the whole New Egg thing, class and all that, hope it works out for you all though, I've got it set into my brain that next Monday night is when I'll be getting it, I'm good, for now...>.>

 

[GhaleonEB]

this one?

All six Isolation screens up on b.net. Nice find.

Whoa!! That kinda shocked me at first. I thought for a second you were saying that you don't like (Halo's) campaign. Wow its getting late. I'm off to bed.:lol

They're already picked up. Which is why I say if your tracking info says tomorrow or anything at all, you might be ok.

 

[Aleman]

Well goddamn, if it gets delivered tomorrow, my plans for tomorrow night just got canceled :lol

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

This is the last weekend I will be Halo 3-less. It feels fucking great saying that.

I've had way fewer problems with FedEx than with UPS. I've had whole packages that got crushed and repackaged horribly. I've even had shipments where the box was "mistakenly opened" at their wharehouse and items went missing. FUCK UPS.

Yea, FedEx is way better. They usually deliver for me a day earlier than they predict too.

 

[Sean]

Anyone with the game want to reveal the matchmaking playlists before Bungie does?

 

[GhaleonEB]

This is the last weekend I will be Halo 3-less. It feels fucking great saying that.

I'm counting work days. Tomorrow and Friday, and then I'm busy all weekend so time will fly. Monday off work, Tuesday Halo 3 arrives. Gotta get through the next two days and I'm almost there.

I've been pretty unproductive at work this week. :lol

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

Good luck, man. Quite a journey to make, but it's totally worth it.

No, its actually the Pamida we were talking about some pages back. I had them put a copy on hold with my name on it and told them I'd come for it tomorrow since they were closing in an hour and a half and I couldn't possibly make it there in time. Then, I lied to all of GAF and said they weren't selling it. See, they only had 3 copies left and I didn't want somebody to come in and sweet-talk their way into snagging my copy.

I'M SORRY GAF! FORGIVE ME! I DID IT FOR HALO! I DID IT FOR TEH HALOZ!

I actually do feel kinda shitty about that, but I can't have some slick fucker walking in and grabbing my copy. So, unless something happened to my copy in the hour and a half between my phone call and closing time, I'll be there tomorrow when the doors open, ready to pounce.

 

[op_ivy]

yeah, the only crapy thing about it is, in my rush (and honestly not believing it would work) i ordered the standard edition from them... i want the collectors (that i have paid off at gamestop). maybe i'll play through my newegg one a bit and see if i can dump it on craigslist before the 25th... or maybe i'll just suck it up and borrow a friends LE for all the hot bonus shit

 

[lybertyboy]

Fed Ex already has the package, it says it will be delivered THIS morning by 10:30am EST.

I received the same tracking number as everyone else, and I truly hope we get the game tomorrow. Problem is, if you actually look halfway down the tracking page from Fed Ex, it says "Package data transmitted to FedEx." I spoke with an individual at Fed Ex to understand what that little line means.

She explained that NewEgg has set up the shipment digitally, but that Fed Ex is NOT in possession of those copies of Halo 3. Until you get another line under that one which says, "Out for delivery" you're not receiving JACK SHIT.

Once again, I hope we have a September miracle and everyone who ordered the game receives it tomorrow. I just wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Eric WK]

Pretty sure that's a server side thing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[SwitchBladeKneegrow]

UPS has damaged so many paint orders I've placed it's not even funny. %70 of my shipments have at least one busted paint can in them. I've got a House Of Kolor Candy Rootbeer colored doorstep to prove it...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys who got your shipping confirmation, I'll be waiting until monday.

 

[Domino Theory]

The ones I recognize from GAF are usually the only random folks I accept, you SHOULD HAVE made the cut. I can't play with Legos, I'm not smart enough, need DUPLOS.

Lies have been spread throughout this post and I sit here absorbing them until glorious salvation may no longer become a possibility.
