I hope that they do. Would mall based stores (EB) be able to do this. Would like to hear what you all think.

Probably too early to tell. Have other games in the past been released at midnight?

I think the stores should open at midnight on Nov. 9th, that would be awesome. I know i would be there waiting for E/B to open. Granted my license is only valid from 5 AM to 11 PM so i would be driving illegally at the time but nothing is going to stop me from getting Halo 2 when it comes out.

I just pre-order my games from gamestop.com with Overnight shipping. I ALWAYS get my copies the next day after school.

Yeah, you beat me to it speny. That'd be pretty funny if they didn't allow you to take your copy until midnight Nov 9.

I don't think being open at midnight will make that much of a difference. It all depends on when the supply trucks roll in. Heck, your local stores may not get it until 2 or 3 days later or whenever they restock their games. Anyway, I'll do the best I can to get it at least some time Nov 9th. . . and forget school that day.

Yeah, it's called the GDL, or Graduated Drivers License. Basically you move up in the "hierarchy" as time goes on. There are restrictions for the first two years, until you turn 18, then you have a fully priveledged license. It's no more screwed up than those damn Canadian "N's"

j/k

And whoever was above coylter, sometimes games get in 2-3 days before release, depending on the hype surrounding the game. I think that Halo 2 will be in stores on launch day, and that we'll be playing for weeks straight.
