The way I figure it is like this: If people were waiting in 3 mile lines and sleeping in front of stores over night all across the U.S. when the PS2 launched and that made the news, then Halo 2 will definetley get a top story.

Oh, it'll happen. Even if it is in November, how many games have made it in the news that didnt involve any controversy? None. But Halo 2 will be the first.

lol lucky you my parents wont let me pre-order it here's what they told me...
"But Mom and Dad I have alot more money then is needed to buy it so why not?" Me
"Because its "just" a video game that you can buy when it comes out." Them
"What?, Are you kidding me?, I dont think you understand when Halo 2 comes out you wont be able to get it for about two months on the store shelves." Me
" Yah sure..." Them
"Honest you frikin god I am not fooling around!" Me
" The first one is still selling like hot cakes and its been out for 3 YEARS!" Me
"Dont worry youll get it when we get to Cali" Them
"Cali? Thats even worse... do you know why it has its nickname?" Me
"Ya because of all of the Silicon, right?" Them
"No! Because of them amount of gamers there!" Me
"It's ok you still be able to get it." Them
"Sure..."Me.

maybe it will be on the news like Mortal Kombat was. Maybe people will think the covie is really coming to get us and they start jumping out of biuldings like when the war of the worlds was put on the radio. Then it will get on the news.

lol.

i used the "won't be in stores for 2 months" argument, and it worked for me.my parents preordered it. rush for halo 2 is gonna be especially bad, since it comes out near the beginning of christmas shopping.

They better get me on tape. I'll be the first in line in my neighborhood (I reserved just before H2special edition was announced, and the store I went to had just opened up, and everyone in my area had already reserved somewhere else, so my lines gonna be short) but, unfortunately, that probably means no one is going to tape me in line... ; P
