Hope nobody is hoping to just pick it up on opening day without already pre-paying or at least putting a deposit down...a month and a half away and the eb games In Kingston has 800 people with deposits down or have already purchased it early. Yikes!

I got the regular copy, came to $56 plus tax, I think. The other copy comes in a nicer case and with a two hour long DVD, but at a price tag of $96 (CDN) I would suggest if your like me and keep your games in a book, (and throw the cases into the closet) to find a friend with the DVD and save yourself forty bucks. There will be lots of special edition DVDs flooting around.

Also somthing I noticed, if you have pre-paid, read the recipt, it may say somthing like "We will hold onto the game for 48 hours after its release date." I would suggest going on the 9th or 10th to pick it up, or some other halo nut could get your copy.

Anyone else reserve their copy already?

I paid it in full in january and I am going to wait in line for eb games to sell it on midnight,that is good because I live only four blocks away from the store.
It is best to have it paid already, that way you can wait in the receiving line instead of the regular line.

Well Im north of the border and in Canada the regular edition came to $68.99 (tax included Canadian) which is about $51.75 US. (@25%) The special edition would have came to $96.00, witch is almost 40 bucks difference for the case and DVD. One of my best friends has ordered that copy so I'll still get to watch the making of. How many copys of the game are you guys getting in the states? MeleeKiller says that its only an extra 5 bucks for the steel case...does this include the DVD too?

I know the exchange is crapy, but somthing doesnt add up.

Also are all eb game stores going to be selling at midnight of the 8th?

I've had my copy pre-ordered since last august. The really cool thing is that Halo 2 ships on November 9th, so it shouldnt be on store shelves until the tenth (at least that's what the store I reserved it at said) and the gusy that work there are driving all the way to nashville to pick up the copys that were reserved and then back so everyone who reserved a copy can pick it up on November 9th at midnight when they get back.

My special edition copy was paid off last spring. When I was there he said there was 400 reserves already!

Damn, you pay that much for the CE? I reserved the one in the steel case with extra dvd footage (CE) and it was only $57 dollars (included tax & us money). That sucks that you have to pay tons of money extra for it.
