I've gotten about 30 emails in the last two hours and this is in a relatively small city.

Going to be some aromatic gatherings tonight I think. :lol As someone who's been to a couple of mid-sized gaming gatherings I feel that we really need to start enforcing hygiene standards.Mr.City said:I regret not getting this delivered to my house. I dislike large crowds, especially when it's a crowd of 300 in an EB games that can only hold 150.
Havok said:If there is any host advantage, it wasn't clear in the Beta. Which is awesome.
Ace 8095 said:I have never played an online game with host advantage as bad as gears. You will be shocked by the lack of it in Halo 3.
MaX_PL said:gears is a bad multiplayer game with aweful netcode. dont compare any game to gears, ever when talking about multiplayer.

Guess I should just cancel my limited edition at EB
I went in and I saw it on the shelf and she asked me what I wanted and I pointed to the game and she was like "Were you the one who called about this a day ago?" I laughed and said yes and ignored the Do Not sell before 9/25/07 sticker on it and walked out lol.

that great but how would we prove it just wasnt someone ignoring the date altogetherprofessor_t said:Contest: Winner is the first person who can convince the salesperson that DO NOT SELL BEFORE 9/25 means you can't sell the game until 9:25 p.m.
First up: Wal-mart.
pretty sure there isnt a company wide policy regarding launch operations, and even if there were there are plenty of store and district managers who make up their own rulesSean said:So what's the deal with Gamestop and 9 PM? I've been calling my local GS and they don't seem to know shit...
Are they doing separate lines for people who've pre-ordered/paid in full? I don't feel like waiting 3 or 4 hours... was hoping to leave at like 11:30.

btw walmart should have a lock in the register saying to not sale until 9/25 anything going through the POS system [that acronym isnt what you think but it should be] with a restricted release date should not be able to be sold
it was like this when i worked there a few years back...yes i was there forever and have a lot of useless wm knowledge...mgmt ftl

This Is Big Business
The Halo franchise is already one of the most valuable in the games business. "It's one of gaming's elite properties," says NPD Group analyst Anita Frazier. The first two titles have sold a combined 14.8 million copies worldwide. In November, 2004, Halo 2 broke records by bringing in $125 million in the first 24 hours of sale. With 6.3 million copies sold, it has become the fifth-best-selling game ever, according to Frazier. Microsoft estimates fans will have spent more than $1 billion on Halo games and related merchandise by the end of 2007.
Halo 3 could sell as many as 3 million copies in its first two weeks on the market, prompting some 400,000 additional game systems to fly off store shelves at the same time, according to Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities. By July, the game, which costs $60 (but is also available in limited-edition packages for $70 and $130), had already banked a million preorders from eager fans. When the game's developer, Bungie Studios in Kirkland, Wash., previewed Halo 3 in beta earlier this year for registered fans, some 820,000 players logged a collective 12 million hours of online play in just three weeks.
In the fiercely competitive $12.5 billion console market, game developers have shifted from a focus on ultrarealistic graphics to new types of gameplay, much of it cooperative and social. Nintendo's (NTDOY) Wii console, for example, eschewed the more robust (and costly) hardware of systems offered by Sony (SNE) and Microsoft, focusing instead on a motion-sensing control scheme and emphasizing casual, social gaming. It has sold briskly as a consequence, topping the charts this August with 403,600 units sold, compared to Sony's sale of 130,600 PlayStation 3 consoles and Microsoft's 276,700 Xbox 360 units sold.
