As with many highly antisipated games we all know that there will be lines to get halo 3, Long lines, looooooonnnngggg lines. Even to reserve halo 3. People will get hurt =) , but what if....for once more copies than usual are made so that even for the people that did not Reserve them can get the game some people have gotten xbox 360 for. Just a thought that crossed my minds because I remember the lines all over New York City when GTA S.A Came out and it was not pretty.

Even if I didn't have a 360, I would still drag myself out at midnight to get a copy.

They do end up making that many, though. But, to be able to make them, ship them, and put them all on shelves at the same time would be impossible.

Dude they can predict how many copies they can sell opening day, why would they not have enough I mean, common, that means they would loose money, these game developers DO have a buisness to run after all

Reproducing DVD retail packages is MUCH easier and less capital intensive than alot of things including hardware. There is no doubt in my mind that they will have more than enough supply on launch day.

Heck, when Halo 2 launched, I just walked in the next day and grabbed a copy off the shelf. The only reason there would be a shortage is if individual retail stores and chains underestimate their demand and do not stock enough. Bungie and Microsoft will have absolutely ZERO problem getting adequate stock produced.

Retail DVD units in those kinds of quantities cost about $0.80 to $1.30 each to manufacture and they run them by the millions all day long on proven technology. It should be NO SWEAT.
