When I went to reserve my copy of Halo 2, the retailer said If you dont reserve now , your gonna have about a year after it comes out to buy it. He said that so many are coming to the us at a time and reservers(which i am) have first gets at it. Is this true??? Just to be safe people i would reserve my copy ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will not be able to buy Halo 2 off the shelves on the first shipment. You must pre-order it now if you want to get Halo 2 on Nov. 9th.

What he meant to say was that it would "seem" like a year. But, in reality, it would be more like two days or so.

It won't be a year; maybe a month, but that's it

Remember that Christmas is a little over a month after the release, and Bungie knows that more copies are gonna be needed for that rush

Oh, and MakaVeli4Life is my Tag, although I've been non-existent on Xbox Live for a few months now

You won't have to wait a year to get your copy of halo 2 if you decide not to preorder. The EB games guy just told you that so that he could get in another preorder of the game. Microsoft will not screw up the release of halo 2. They'll make enough copies. A couple of weeks is probably the longest amount of time you would have to wait if you decide not to preorder halo 2.

As far as I know, EB employees don't work on commission. He was just exaggerating to point out how big Halo 2 is. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a month-long wait. Soccer moms are buying everything for their kids that time of year.

i preordered it and the guy at gamestop said thats all bs. you would have to wait 2 weeks for a new shipment. but they might be rushing the 2nd so it would only be a week. i stopped with ebgames because on the release date of ninjagaiden i went over early at around noon (day of release) and they had sold my copy by accident. i flipped out and told them that was BS and i didnt use the letters :) they refunded me and gave me the game as soon as it was restocked for free -blam!-es haha.
