How many of you guys have preordered Halo 2? I went into EB the other day and asked them about it and they said over 250 people had already preordered the game and that even most of those wouldn't be able to get it on launch.

It was quite surprising as I live in a relatively small city in Australia with a population of around 150,000. Never before have I struggled to get a game on its release... but Halo 2 might be a first..Quite unbelievable considering it's Australian launch would be at least 6 or 7 months away at the very least.

I preordered at Gamestop.com the day after it was offically announced. I remember because they charged 54.95 and I ordered overnight shipping. This was one game that was worth it. That was almost 2 years ago now.

Yeah, it's worth it...

Maybe if I get desperate I'll just have to wait until some little kid walks out of EB and then run off with his copy of Halo 2... hehehehe... erm, no..

Either that or offer someone double money for it.. I doubt anyone would take it though. This is Halo 2 we're talking about ;).

I should be top of the ladder at my local eb. I was first to fully pay it off there, so all good things should point to me. And They better release halo 2 same day as america. That would piss me off greatly and give me slighly low respect of bungie it was after.

So they better.

I would hate having to wait, but I decided to hold off on preordering and wait as it gets closer to the date. My local Gamestop usually gives out free stuff for big games when you preorder. When I preordered Ninja Gaiden just a week or two before launch, they gave me a free Ninja Gaiden T-Shirt. So how cool would it be if they gave out a free, new Halo 2 T-shirt or something just before the release of Halo 2? What sucks though is that they only give out XL T-shirts, and I'm about a medium. :S Or perhaps I will preorder one now to make sure I get a copy soon enough, and then preorder just before launch since I will want two games anyway for system link.

By the way, last I heard my local Gamestop had over 200 reserves! and that's been about a month or two ago since I've asked!

cheers,
Twisted Chains
