Concerning those of you who are incredulous about the strategy guide coming out so early, I bought my Morrowind strategy guide about a month before the game hit the shelves. That's by far the longest time, but most guides come out a week or two early. Even the Fable strategy guide is set in the Gamestop computer as coming out on Aug. 25. The game is scheduled for release on Sept. 14.

So, basically, there's nothing to make of the Halo 2 strategy guide coming out a few weeks before the game.

ANother coordinate!! 33.7943 -84.3874 leads to a GameStop at Lennox Mall here in Atlanta, GA. The only coordinate in Georgia. It's about 45 minutes away from me with traffic.

Good find! There is a second one in Georgia, I think it was next to the other Georgia one on the coordinate list. Has anyone else noticed that there are a hell of a lot in Washington D.C.? The fact theat there are a bunch in Washington state seems kinda suspicious *cough* Bungie *cough*.

The "links" section of ilovebees.com has a bunch of decimal numbers that just happen to be latitude and longitude locations of places in the United States. The coordinates are very dense in Washington D.C., New York, and Washington state.

Edit: You can find it here

if there was one very close to the Atlanta location, it has to be Phipps Plaza, it is a mall directly across the street from Lenox mall, and it has game stores.. i live right there too, i could check it out on aug 24th

Another!! 32.8163 -83.7079 This is a Gamestop in Macon, GA, probably 2 hours away at most.


Macon: 3661 Eisenhower Pkwy Macon, GA 31206, US

Actually, it turns out that the one I found in Lennox was about 5 miles away from the actual coordinates.
Sorry!

Not sure but perhaps these coordinates will be sites for stalls with playable demos on Aug 24th. Think about the majority appear to be pointing to highly frequented and populated areas of youths for example malls and universities. Just a thought

Typing in those coordinates is time consuming, I did about a quarter of them and then I just got tired of it... I might do some more later, there's not much else I can do at my job

That would be cool. I still remember playing Halo1 early at a special event at Universal Studios Citywalk in Hollywood.

Check this out. I started searching the coordinates at mapquest. Then I zoomed all the way in to look at the street names. Then I went to whitepages.com and looked for gaming businesses in the area. Sure enough...the coordinates point to different gaming stores in the nation. For example...the coordinates 39.9116, -86.2157 (one of the first in the list) shows up near W 86th Street in Indianapolis, Illinios. I searched for any business with the word game in it in the indianapolis area, and BLAM! I found that a Gamestop was in the near exact same coordinates. What do yall think?

Sorry, but you theory is incorrect. For example, the corridinates 43.0726, -89.3986 are right on the University of Wisconsin Campus (I live right by it and went to school there). These coordinates are almost right on the University Book Store, which does not sell video games of any kind. The coordinates 43.0748, -89.3978 are almost right next to the bookstore and are pretty much in the middle of a small area between the bookstore and the library where food stands are set up. I don't think game stores have anything to do with these numbers.
this supports my theory. we know that OXM is relesing its holiday guide on augest 24th. now the only thing that i can think of that could be sold at both a book store and a videogame store r magazines.....

I'm only half an hour from the one closest to me. Whoever planned this out, placed these things where they'd be close to us. Or at least in high population areas.

ok, the florida location is in Dania, FL. The ONLY thing on this road is Oakwood Plaza, which I know has a Dave & Busters and a Kmart. Also, the ilovebees.com website now contains dialoge about "Babbage's Machine" . The company that owns GameStop is Babbages!!! Sorry if someone else already saw this.

Here's what an Axon is: "a usually long and single nerve-cell process that usually conducts impulses away from the cell body"

Whatever that means...
