The only think you get with the SE is the super cool extra content DVD...But you still have to wait it out. Well, I know this is kind of off topic but I would like to say it anyway... On August
29th there is a demo of Halo 2 at PAX in washington. I know, I'm not telling you, just wait there's more. This demo is pretty much the final game in all it's glory. About one more month later in either late September or early October, halo 2 will be complete. Then bungie's copy of the game will be sent to the publisher (Microsoft). Microsoft will then start making many copies of the game. Then people (don't know exactly who) will start working out stocking and shiping with different companies and transportation to them. Now listen up this will explain why we get the game on Tuesday. The game will then be transported (Most likely on Friday, the end of the work week [or possibly saturday]) to the companies, arriving there problably Monday morning. Then it will be ready for a Tuesday sale ... I'm not 100% positive on all this but I'm pretty sure. O.K I had to get that off my chest... Don't ask... Now back to our regularly scheduled forum.

You said don't ask, but im skeptical as how you know this? Just guessing or are you for sure?

Well, it wasn't entirely a guess. The part about when they ship the game wasn't from facts; but it's most likely the end of the week. Everything else is pretty much true, but I'm not bungie, so the day when the game is finished could be entirely off. I'm not making bets on this or anything so don't hold me accountable if something isn't right, but this is the way it usually happens.

With Mid-Night Launch Events being scheduled for this (at EB's, GameStops, and Toys R Us's), each business will get the game 1-2 days early, no doubt about it. (Just like some people got PGR2 a day or 2 earlier from its release date - some stores let it slip, and I'm sure a lot of people will get H2 a day or 2 early this way as well)

Remember, Nov 9 is the RELEASE DATE, so at 12am you can get it in your sleepy little hands, after waiting out in the cold (as I will be too - at the NYC Times Squae Toys R US in my Nightmare Armor) :)

ALSO REMEMBER: There WILL be launch events! MS if going to market H2 out the wazoo - Just look at the Movie Trailer advertisement. We have yet to see what's up their sleeves....

You get it November 9, even if you reserved the LE. Unless you're in the UK, then you get it November 11.

As soon as I'm free on November 9th I'm going to pick up my copy of Halo 2. Hopefully I'm not busy that day, because I've been waiting so long for Halo 2 and I want to play it as soon as possible.

I posted this in another thread....

Well it technically could happen, you see, just because a game company says that a game will be released on a certain date, doesn't mean that it will be that same day all over the place. It will ship from the suppliers and the store's will get them all at different times, most likely depending on day that the store recieves shipments, or distance between store and supplier. When the store gets the game, they are out. They will NOT wait for Nov. 9 to put it up, it just doesn't work that way. If s store get's Halo 2 Nov. 1, that's when it'll put it out on the shelves. This isn't illegal at all, it is only illegal with videos. So, just because Bungie says Nov. 9th, doesn't mean it won't be on shelves earlier or later in some stores - particularly small businesses.

Yes I do know all this for a fact, my mother owns a video store.
