everyone is asking who has pre-ordered halo2

but the real question is who didn't
LOSERS!!!!

and for those who didn't
i herd that bungie has asked all retailers and such to stop taking pre-orders within a month or so.

also that they will be sold out within a week of the launch date

then the selfs will be restocked at the begining of december

then not again till january

Everyone who hasn't pre-ordered it either needs to do so immediately before it's too late, or needs to be at Wal-Mart at midnight to but a copy.

i preodered mine but i didnt do so it i would have to pick it up at the store, i did it so it would go directly to me because it said that it will get it in Nov 8 so i will get it on tthe same day as everyone else and i wont have to wait in line like everyone else.

But there are probably a lot of people who did that so sry if i sounded like an ass

I don't believe in pre-ordering...I will never do it, no one else should either. pre-odering shows no dedication. Standing out in the rain at 5 in the morning on the day it is going to be released shows dedication. Halo will not change my values...preordering is for the faint of heart.

I think that pre-ordering shouldn't be an option at any store. and therefore, if you want the game you must wait for it and show your dedication. Any guy who barely even cares about Halo2 can preorder it takes a lot more to NOT preorder

a true fan doesn't want to wait till 3 in the morning

he wants it right away to play it

plus you still have to wait in line

pre-ordering just inshures you that you will have a copie

but your just served first
it's also first come first serve at game stop

it doesn't matter when you pre-oredered it
just who's in line first

Well, you can stick with your dedication, I personally just want to own the game as fast as I can and not have to wait in lines. Besides, I'm getting the Collector's Edition which can only be bought if pre-ordered.

[color=red]I don't want the collectors edition. I have never preordered a game in my life, and halo2 isn't going to change that. I will get the game one way or another, I am not worried about that. I am not going to argue my true fan status, because I am not as big a fan as many. I believe that this falls under game ethics and values, and so this is the way i do things. Other people may differ from me in this way.[/color]

okay listen, you show your dedication to a company by buying its product, doesnt matter how you get. I think the people who buy the limited edition are more dedicated becuase they want the extra DVD that shows the making of the game, and all the hard work that bungie put into it, they will want us to see that. It doesnt matter if you stand in line or pre-order, bungie knows we care.
