I'm gonna do it like last-time...When halo 2 came out, we read all the magazines
and determend where to go. We went to Target, and got it...Waited in line for 5 mins. And got the H2 guide.
Same procedure for H3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm, preorder it from Amazon.co.uk, get it with the post in the morning of the release.

I'm gonna wait outside my local Gamestop 'til midnight to get it, just like Halo 2. The only bad thing about that is that I'm a minor, so I can't buy it without someone over the age of 18 with me, I was waiting outside Gamestop with my friend's mom for Halo 2 (/me ashamed). But for Halo 3 I'm gonna get my sister or possibly my friend's (the same friend that waited with me for Halo 2) brother. Tehe my one friend went to pick Halo 2 up on 11/9/04 and the cashier said he couldn't buy it without someone over 18 with him, so he threw a wad of money (it was like 64 or 65 dollars, he was getting the collector's edition) at the cashier and grabbed the game and ran like hell. I was waiting for him outside and I saw him bust out of the door to the shop, running like hell. It was halarious.

Not all of them, that really only happened in hebig cities like Barrie, Ontario (the city where the Canadadian Live 8 was located) and of course Toronto.


I live in Barrie! :D Have for almost 10 years now. :P I wouldn't consider us that big... acctually, compared to most places we're a pretty small city. Toronto, now there is a big place. We're getting bigger though, and fast. I was at midnight madness at the EB in the Georgian Mall :)

Anyway, for the topic. I'm definatley doing it. Me and my best friend did it for Halo 2 and got our copies a half hour before they officially released because we helped set up the LAN and the store for everything! He stayed the night at my place, we played all night, didnt sleep until about 7:30 AM. Missed school on Wensday, then when I get back to school, my teacher asks me where I was when I walked into class. Then as I was fumbling with words he walked me out of the class and asked "You were playing Halo 2, weren't you?" I again, fumbled over words. Then he gave me $80 and told me to buy him a copy! There is no way Im missing midnight madness again! My best friend who went to it with me moved to Alberta (another province in Canada in case some don't know) and hes going to fly down here for midnight madness if they have it again, which im sure they will. :D Im not missing it again! :P

My local EB Games doesn't even open untill 9:30 AM so I'll just wake up at 6:00 AM and line up for Halo 3!


whoaa hooo! yea bs police! diehard fan right here!

but um at the midnight release of h2, im pretty positive ALL video game stores nation wide opened up midnight for the selling of h2 only, unless ur video game store refused to do that i dont know tho......

Umm, yeah, most stores would open early for something that major- they often do for long awaited games like Halo 3 or Zelda Twilight Princess. They can make lots and lots of money if they do- people are more inclined to waste money on stupid stuff at 3 AM when they've been waiting to get a copy of the game for 3 hours.

Yea it was ammazing. We didn't get out of EB until 2:00am though. We got out copies at 11:30pm (more or less) on November 8th. Then we stayed and played some multiplayer with the guys at EB until midnight when we opened the doors. You wouldn't beleive the expression on my face as, for the first time, I saw a warthog speeding towards me, and in the passenger seat was my friend with an energy sword, being driven by someone when it was a FFA, and then getting swipped by the sword as he came by, and then crashing into a couple fusion cores/exploding barrels.

We opened the doors, helped out a bit played a few games with some people. It was absolutely ammazing. We finnally left at 2:00am and got home at about 2:30. Then we stayed up playing for 5 hours :P

It was good. Really good. I ended up sleeping all of wensday though :P

Note to mods, this should not count as a “leek” since I am talking about halo 2, which the NDA has expired.

A couple months before halo 2s launch I got to do the online multiplayer Beta (Dad works at M$) So something like that will likely happen again. I hope…

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Someday Barrie will be part of Toronto. I live in Orillia not to far away from Barrie.

I hope the EB Games at the Orillia square mall have a midnight madness this time.

Wouldn't all the stores be closed at midnight? A true halo fan would bring a fully functonal assault rifle to the store when there's no un-claimed copies and make them give it to you for the price. Staying up just means that your first in line to be told that all the copies were being held in advance.

Certain stores opened at midnight specifically for Halo 2's release.

Part of Toronto? HA! Sorry, but no. Barrie and Toronto are an hour's drive apart. The only time Barrie and Toronto are going to join is when the planet becomes one big city :P

We're going to be as big as Toronto soon, but in no way a part of it.

Anyway, you guys didn't have a midnight madness? Thats weird. All I heard was midnight madness all over the place. Hell, over here in Barrie no body could get to sleep, gamer or not, because of everyone rushing to get Halo 2. Half the people didn't even know what was going on. My neighbour thought we were being invaded!
