Subject: why a tuesday?

All types of media have certain days that are typically alotted for their release. While some releases break this chain, most do not. Movies are always released on Fridays or Wednesdays. In store visual media such as DVDs and Video Games are always released Tuesdays. They do not release Fridays or Wednesdays because that would compete with the money people spend to go see movies. Books and CDs have certain days they typically release also, but I can't remember what they are. I'm guessing they do games that early on in the week because its before movies come out in theaters so people will have more money. Also, tuesdays are when alot of people's paychecks come in, so they have alot of money they feel like they can spend.

Meh, I'll just skip school Wednesday.

Or finish the campaign REALLY fast.

Or just not sleep.

Death to rank junkies.

At least you can play it on Friday, and not have to go get it.

Because video games sales for the week get counted on Tuesdays, so if they release it on a Tuesday they'll have the most days ahead of them 'till the next counting, and so they'll be at the top of the list for games sold that week (not like they wouldn't be, anyways, though).

Plus they like watching little kiddies go crazy. :)

Here's my plan.

1.Stay up late and go with my friend to get ODST.
2.Fake that I'm sick the next morning.
3.Wait till everyone is not around.( My Dad goes to sleep during the day, my sisters either have work or they sleep)
4.Pop in ODST and play it.

If there is any flaw in my plan tell me.

just say your getting bored and felling better( this would happen around number 3 ) and get up (looking sick a little) and go play

Halo is rated M.... Its MEANT for older audiences, over 18. Who are out of school. That is why. School kids aren't SUPPOSED To have it, but they do anyway, but since it is targeted to older people, they don't care when they release it, its release date will not be based upon children wanting the game on a Friday. No offense to anyone.

Games are usually released on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Yeah, kind of odd they're released on those days. At Blockbuster they're usually put on the shelves on Tuesdays.

Here is a thing I made: Linkage

Here is a Leet I made: Link BLARGH

More importantly, why can't they release games during the summer instead of during the school year?

Because this game aint for kids

Yes, lets take all the games that are planned to be released throughout the year and release all of them during the summer season so we can have the most amount of time to play them.

Uh...no.

First of all, the biggest game age demographic last I checked was the 18-25 age bracket, which I happen to fall into. This means we are in college, therefore we have more free time so it won't matter when it is released. Also, during the summer we will either have jobs or summer classes. People higher than this age group will have full time jobs, so they will be working no matter what. The only age group below mine that plays games like halo is 12-17. Thats 5 years against 50 years of ages that don't care if its released in summer or not.

  • 06.07.2009 10:18 AM PDT

yes but they know how many kids play it!

Actually, in this case, it would make sense for Bungie to release it on a Friday. Why wouldn't they release it on the 2nd anniversary of Halo 3's launch?

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

I know. I hate the fact they're releasing it on Tuesday.

They should release it Saturday. Is that so hard? Only 4 days early.

Plus, I can't have time off school, because we will only have been back two weeks, and I have tons of coursework/exams.

Dammit, this sucks.

let me make this simple for you, IT IS A GAME OF CHESS. By sending on tuesday(seven letters.) and not on thursday(eight letters.) or not on saturday(eight letters.) they still keep it clean with their Lucky number 7 thing...

SUNDAY(six)
MONDAY(six)
TUESDAY(SEVEN)
WENSDAY(SEVEN)
THURSDAY(eight)
FRIDAY(six)
SATURDAY(eight letters.)

and i think if you add the two numbers of the numcal day of that day you get 7 or 14, 14 would make more sense because then you devide it by two(DD) and then you get 7...


Stay in school buddy

Its spelled WEDNESDAY!
