I do want to get them -- I really do. They have really cool stuff along with them, and the greatest part is the money spent on the bags is helping charities and funds for children.

But you want to know why I'm not getting one of them? Money. I don't even know how much they cost, but they're presumably close to a hundred bucks or more, and I only have $120 (I'm fifteen). My brother and I already have a deal setup for this fall on the games coming out, and I have exactly enough to fulfill the amount of money needed.

I lost my chance to get an interview for McDonald's a few weeks back because of finals...but that's beside the point.

Who else isn't getting one, due to the fact that they don't want to spend their money, their parents won't let them spend money, they don't have enough money, or they just don't want one?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

No, there are thousands of fans and only 500 swag sacks,many won't get one.

If you really want one, all you have to do is patrol the site next week to wait for the confirmation that they're being sold, and whammo, you're in.

Sure there's that slight chance you aren't fast enough, but if you try hard enough, it's not that difficult.

We fight for honor. We fight for glory. We fight for our brothers and our homeland. But most importantly......we SMASH. We are the ELITES THAT SMASH. Anyone can join, we have games, warfare, tournaments and more. We're always looking for new members, so stop on by.

They're $30, but the thing is is that they sell out in 5 minutes.

I got 1, I spent around 4 hours on my PC watch the store, pressing F5 on the 23rd.

I knew they would sell out fast becuase of the numbers and how popular Bungie/Halo is.

Dont be shy...
Im sorry for my coup changes but Im new at this.

Nop I wont get one :(

  • 06.25.2011 7:55 AM PDT

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love Yvonne
And so should you

Just be glad you don't live outside the US, the international shipping and handling is quite high. I reckon the Bag O' Swag will cost me about £60 :/

Another question, how long did they sell out last time and also, my friend reckons as soons as you click 'Add to cart' you're guaranteed it but I thought you'd have to sign in and all that to make it yours.

When no one "officially" knew it and it wasn't posted in the news, around 1 hour.

Now, with an estimated 150 left, everyone knowing the time, it will be quick.

But,as soon as it is in your cart, BUY IT!

Assuming you're from the UK, shipping costs $42 alone. I ordered one which came to a total of $72/£45.

So I have to add to cart and then log in and buy it for it to be guaranteed? If that's the case then I have the feeling a speed typer is going to beat me to it :/

Well I guess that's not too bad then. I think that's quite reasonable considering you can obtain some really rare stuff.

Everytime someone sacks my groceries, I think of Loaf.

I've accepted that I'm not going to get a swag bag....EVER! But I love Bungie and their games. So as long as they keep on making games, I'll be happy :)

Not exactly, most of the stuff they are sending out is stuff that they had a abundance of(Shirts, figures, games). At one point in time I'm sure these items were available for purchase.

  • 06.25.2011 8:33 AM PDT

I'll be surprised if I can get one.
I have no work Monday morning, so I'll be patrolling the store around that time.

I got an early Reach Beta code, this isn't too different.

  • 06.25.2011 8:36 AM PDT

If you can't trust yourself, then don't trust anyone.

On monday im going to be refreshing like there is no tomorrow! did bungie tell the exact date they go on sale next week?

  • 06.25.2011 8:38 AM PDT

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

Most people who want one aren't going to be able to. Don't get your hopes up. You'll have to just keep checking the site and hope you spot them at the right time.

  • 06.25.2011 8:45 AM PDT

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

I think they should have called them Action Sacks instead.

  • 06.25.2011 8:47 AM PDT

Oh hey, I don't know why you're reading this, but have fun.


Posted by: spartain ken 15
No, there are thousands of fans and only 500 swag sacks,many won't get one.
And a few will order many.
