Ok, just about evey site has a different release date. here are teh links so you can stop fussing and just wait till tomorrow...you decide for yourself in advance if you feel like it, however don't get your hopes up then become really disappointed if it is really delayed. Although my hopes are already really high up in the clouds that it will come out tomorrow...here are the links and the dates the site says as of posting this...

IGN.com (Tomorrow)
Amazon.com (May 22nd)
Bestbuy.com (May 9th)
Circuitycity.com (Tomorrow)
Ebgames.com (May 22nd)
Gamestop.com (May 22nd)
walmart.com (Date changes everytime i reload page from May 8th - May 22nd)
Futureshop.ca (Tomorrow)
Target.com (Tomorrow)
Compusa.com (May 23rd)

I've called all 3 Ebgames and the only Gamestop near me about this. They all said they knew nothing about a delay, however; they all told me different dates. All but the last Ebgames i called said May 8th, the last one said May 12th. The Gamestop said May 9th.

All we can do is wait till tomorrow, but if they did delay the game and said nothing to us, i will lose all respect for them. It would have been different if they told us it was going to be delayed a few weeks back, but this is ridiculous.

Add to the list of sites if you want, but this thread will be useless in a few hours.

What it is.

IGN took down their Halo 2 Vista counter...either that or Flash is having problems...

Maybe they took it down because they know something we don't.

EDIT: Its back up, and it says 13 days. However, under that in the little box that has publisher info and crap says that its coming out tomorrow...im so lost right now...

What it is.

I almost wanna just say screw this game until June 7th...cuz right now, they screwed up everything and by the time it's available, people will be playing the Halo 3 Beta(at least those with a 360 and an invitation). If the game is delay(which is likely and stupid), MS is very irresponsible and doesn't seem to think very well because actions like this make people hate them even more.

Guys, just wait until tomorrow. If you can't buy it anywhere tomorrow, then its obviously going to be delayed.

This is just plain silly, I mean Microsoft or Bungie (doubt it) have to confirm the release date on this.

EBGames' Canadian Site, at the bottom right, it says Halo 2 May 5th, possibly when they got the game shipped to them? I'm guessing they'll release it tomorrow (in Canada at least) <-- haha maybe they're gonna use us canadians to test out the live problems :-)

I've had Halo 2 Vista reserved and fully paid for at a local GameStop for months now, and on Sunday evening I saw a news post on the site FiringSquad.com that Halo 2 Vista was delayed until May 22nd. And so today, May 08th at 2:10 pm EST I called the GameStop I had the game reserved at, and they said that it is now shipping May 22nd and will be available for pickup May 23rd. That kinda really pissed me off.

Best Buy has it? Seriously? Because I will cancel my reservation and go get it at Best Buy if they have it. D*mn where's that best buy number I gotta call 'em!

Hmmm the website says it comes out on the 9th...

I called one Best Buy in my area, and the guy said yes they do have it, and they will sell it. But then he checked to see if they had any in stock, and he said they were all sold out, so he checked all the other stores in the area. He said they were all sold out, and then he said "actually, it's not even supposed to be out yet, there is a notice right here, its only available for pre-order." I was like GAWD-D*MNIT!!! So I must say you did give me hope halochimp1990, but yeah it looks like it really was delayed man. Oh well, good looking out knawmean? In any case, I'm all out of options over here. Maybe you guys will get lucky if this is all a mistake and it was not actually delayed. Or say if some stores got a first shipment before Microsoft decided to backtrack on selling it today.

You make an excellent point blank98, but I made sure we were talking about the same game. I called it "Halo 2 for PC" and then he first referred to it as "Halo 2 Vista" and then a second time as "Halo2 for Windows."

you are all aware that microsoft is located in Redmond, Washington - so of course canada is going to release it fast because it will take longer to ship it... because canada is like 20-50 miles away from redmond.

Doesn't necessarily mean it will ship faster, the box, manual, and disk all come from different factories. It could come from anywhere.
