So over a month ago, I preordered Halo 3 ODST from Walmart.com and not too long later, when I checked the order's status, it said that the estimated arrival time is between September 30 and October 2, over a whole week after the release date.

I was simply wondering if anyone else that preordered ODST from Walmart has had this problem.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

It's probably just inaccurately recorded.

I Only Look Special

The late arrival time is probably due to them not shipping it out until September 22. No matter the release date things still take time to ship.

From wal-mart? Serioiusly? no offense but don't you have a better quality store around, like a gamestop or something?

They all sell the same game, what's the difference?

Better quality?

They are selling PACKAGED Discs! Games don't expire, they don't become less effective wherever you buy it.

Walmart and Gamestop are both retailers and give you both the same service, this issue is most likely an estimate.

So I I'm telling you now, Wal-mart has the ability to save Game Developers from going under, just ask EA.

Dude gamestop is the way to go. You get all the preorder extras for games there.

What? You can't wait just for a video game to arrive?


Anyway I'm pretty sure it's just a mistake/error. But maybe it's not because some places don't always get everthing "new " the same day.

play 4 fun but 2 win. to so called pros only the best are going tomake it the rest our just wasting there time.

halo ce - halo3 -halo2 ... the br is fine play LANN

Well that date that they put on there is correct because when halo 3 came out my friend pre-ordered it from walmart, He got it a week after the game came out..... Now he could have been like me and reserved a copy from gamestop becuase then you will get it right away, well you have to go pick it up. So what im trying to say is that pre-order from walmart if you are patient and gamestop if your not.

Gamestop is horrible. First you go in and they wanna act like your friend. then they wanna talk about the game. Next thing they hassle you for pre orders and suscriptions to mags.

I pre ordered Halo 3 there and they purposely made a long drawn out process to get the game just so they had a big line in front of their store.

I saw the line said screw that walked into Walmart got my game in 5 min with a free dogtag. So screw Gamestop

Lucky! Walmart says I'm getting it October 10.
