Everyone needs to stop being panicked about it. I pre-ordered mine for Best Buy and I dont have to go pick it up, it comes to me. When the send it to me though :( Who cares, were all going to be playing Halo 2 eventually, and thats all that matters.

Ok if your really worried then i feel sorry for you. Dude all you need to do is go to EB Games and put like 5 bucks down. Dude EB is cool about things coming in late. If you don't get it on time EB will probably give you something for a penny. When i didn't get my FF7 on time i got a stratigy guide for a penny. yeah i cant spell today.

this is prbabbly the best way right here cause they will most likely send there order of games directly to the warehouse and they will deliver from there

bungie is not stupid they know how big halo 2 is going to be. I'm sure they are making enough copies to cover the preorders by 2x just to make sure everybody who wants one can have it... I mean why would bungie want to keep themselves from getting moneys.

Whew, thank God I don't have to worry about this. I preordered my game last February, so they should most definitely have a copy ready for me on the day of release.

It is possible that there may not be enoug Halo 2 copies on the first day. I work in retail sales and know its often better to have a run (I.e. sold out) copies than to have an overstock. The thing is, Merchandise loses money the more it stays on a shelf and doesn't move.

Therefore, I think that at least the first day, copies of H2 will be adequate, but not 'fill every hole in the store' ammount. Afterall, isn't filling to the walls what corporate warehouses are for?

Ok I can see that but there is no way they will not fill the pre orders... I mean how stupid is it to not make enough copies for the people you already know you've got it sold to.

i live in a lil redneck town with a super save walmart. My mom works nights in electronics so i'll just go to work, wait until that golden pallet comes, tear it open with my mouth, grab about 6 copies. go to my high school find someone who doesn't have it (and won't for a couple of months if they don't buy it from me) sell it for 60.00$ except for that one they i got. I'm good to go no reservation needed. I went to gamestop though and the guy said the preordered 500 copies and about 670 people wanted them, so i hear ya
