Who has it Preordered

[Jccouger]

I got mine preordered a couple months ago, for $5. Who else has gotten theres preordered?

[Xfreaky]

Erm, I'm too lazy to preorder mine

[Shriden]

You should -- chances are they'll be sold out for some time when it's release. I preordered mine, of course.

[LavisBlade]

I've never in my life ran into the problem of having a game sold out at both of my local stores.

I live close to both an EBgames and a GameStop.

[foxy]

No I haven't. I might if they offer free overnight shipping on gamestop.com, I did that before haha. Otherwise I'll just swing by one. Much more satisfying that way.

And Natalie Portman is mine, you can't have her.

[BluehempXE]

I'll preorder it in a couple months.

[WolfmanNCSU]

I think I will wait till it releases. I usually dont preorder games unless it comes with a preorder bonus.

[Shriden]

Either way, you should pre-order it. People who pre-order it get a Limited Edition metal Collector's DVD thing. There's two kinds too.

[8 Ball]

I didnt. I probably wont even get it. I bought Halo and that was a waste of money.

[Shriden]

Why do you think it was a waste of money?

[TuckerXE]

You don't get the special edition just for pre-ordering. You actually have to order the special edition.

[JoeyC2k4]

i will soon

[SHNAG]

I might preorder it a week before it come out. or a month. Its kinda pointless to pre-order this early, come one, not even the first zelda game on N64 was that bad.

[SilentDeath]

just because i have this debit card, i think i will preorder it

[TeMpEsT]

Pre-ordered mine tonight.

[Iron Chef]

Maybe for the Special Edition, other then that I wouldn't bother.

[TuckerXE]

OK, I broke down and did it. I was at Gamestop on Saturday and they said that Halo 2 would cost $50 and that the special edition would be $55, so I pre-ordered the special edition. If I'd had the money, I should have paid for the whole thing up front so if they changed their minds on the price, I could show them a receipt saying "paid in full."

[WolfmanNCSU]

So, whats the difference between the Regular and Special Editions?

[TeMpEsT]

The regular edition is just the game, the special edition will give you "behind-the-scenes" media from how the game was made, press interviews, etc.

[TuckerXE]

I think it comes with a poster, a DVD of the stuff TeMpEsT mentioned, and it comes in a metal box... It's worth an extra $5.

ROTFL - thinking of pre-ordering... I was at EB today, and they had a brand new Star Wars Episode I Racer edition Nintendo 64 (comes with that game, a "special" controller, and the expansion pak - it's memory) for $15.

BTW, they confirmed the $55 price for the special edition.

[TeMpEsT]

Think if I go back to EBGames and give them $5 they'll get me the special edition?

[TuckerXE]

You mean change your pre-order? All video game stores are getting a little weird lately, but I can't imagine they wouldn't. I mean, it's not like they've actually made the orders yet.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Hmmmm, I just realized that I have a gift certificate to the mall (with and EB and Babagges), so I may go pre-order the game. Not sure yet.

[JoeyC2k4]

i'm going to preorder it this friday




(wo0p 600th post)

[WolfmanNCSU]

(wo0p 600th post)

Only 400 more until 1K glory!!!

[slimscane]

i havn't pre-ordered yet, but i know i have to if i want it on release day

[SHNAG]

I don't think i will, as by the time it is released i will be in Universty and may be working on a major project or studing for exams, Halo 2 would be way to much of a distraction.

[slimscane]

come on, you could play for a little bit and then finish whatever work, you know you want to ;)

[JoeyC2k4]

i pre ordered it today

[SHNAG]

come on, you could play for a little bit and then finish whatever work, you know you want to ;)


Yeah, like i could play halo 2 for a little bit :banghead: :wetteardr :cool:

Still, i might preorder it sometime for the special content.

[Shriden]

My school could be on the verge (if not already) clsing down, so I would be forced to home school. What does that mean? Extra time with my Xbox and Halo 2.

[slimscane]

why would it close down?

[Shriden]

Becasue of all the health issues that go on. I mean, the walls are mold-covered, the roof falls apart, not to mention leaks. It rains more inside of the building than outside. Power blinks on and off... there's never any soap, not to mention toilet paper or even paper towels. It's an over all crappy school. Only reason I go is because of the I,B. Program there (which, without it, the school would be graded an F rather than a C).

So, if it does, I'll just spend time with my Xbox and Halo 2, and get a chance to camp in front of GameStop.

[TuckerXE]

Wow - that sucks. What is an IB program?

[Shriden]

International Bachaloret; not sure about the spelling on that last one. It's basically a magnet program. ^^

Without it (basiclly because of the FCAT - test in Florida which decides you either pass the grade or move one - the school would be an F). That's what they do wth the IB... schools that need a better grade, they put an IB program.

[SHNAG]

Charlottetown Rural (its in town, not in the country) High School is pretty sweet. Cool architecture. Though i wish they deep fried their fries insted of oven baked. Finals on thursday! :scream1: :3dman: :toomuch:

[JoeyC2k4]

my high school sort of looks like a college...the walls on the outside are made of glass or plexiglass... schools over on the 15th wo0p

[TuckerXE]

Just to go back to Halo 2 for a minute, I had to drop by and tell you all what happened the other day. I originally pre-ordered it with just a $5 deposit. I went back to the store where I pre-ordered and asked if they were cool with people coming in and paying the rest before the game is released. They said they actually prefer it that way, and will set aside the games that are completely pre-paid on the release day so you don't have to wait in the cash register line or something.

[JoeyC2k4]

thats pretty cool...i might have to try it :2thumbs:

[Shriden]

Yeah, so would I. Hopefully they'll do that where I live, and instead of waiting in a long line, I can play Halo 2 while everyone else is waiting in line. Of course, Ishould get a body gaurd on the way home to I'm protected...

[JasonXE]

I ll probably consider buying it but i doubt it. Halo 1 was alright but FPS is not my cup of tea.

[Zzero]

I reserved my copy of Halo 2 way back in January. :D

[8 Ball]

Im gonna wait and see what kind of reviews it gets before I buy it. If the game sucked it would still get a 9.9 all over im sure.

[HavoK911]

i pre-ordered it like last year

[slimscane]

I pre-ordered it today (limited edition of course). Also, they had the limited edition box (for display) and I must say, it is the coolest box I have ever seen (or held), if the game is half as good as the box is then it is going to be awesome! ^_^

[JoeyC2k4]

lol....someone has a box fettish

[Zzero]

A lot of places have stopped taking pre-orders now. I know the GameStop in my area stopped several months ago after they hit over 200 reserves. If you want the game on launch day, you better reserve ASAP.

[Zamamee]

i have preorderd mine for free from HMV and im gettin tha collectors edition cuz halo 1 rocked so this is gonna kick ass

[Zamamee]

yo is everyone on this forum american cuz your all sayin halo 2 is $55 and ova here in jeresey in the uk "the original jersey none of this new jersey crap" its £35 hahahaha we get it cheeper but two days l8er we get it on 11 november :(

[slimscane]

well, most of us are in the states, and we are talking about the Limited Edition which comes with an extra disk with videos and a cool new box and it costs 55$, but the regular costs 50$.

[Kantes]

um £35 converted is $62 so in fact they're getting it cheaper than you..

I preordered the limited edition one a couple of days ago

[slimscane]

haha, thanks, i was going to look up the currency exchange rates but I was too lazy =) yay! we win!

[Kantes]

no problemo

[SilentDeath]

reserverd mine yesteryday at best buy (limited edition)

[SHNAG]

I just preodered it from Futureshop yesterday. Limited Edition :cool:

They said something about free halo figureins or something if you pre-order it. I was going to get it from EB games, but they offered no free gift, and the site only has a yankee version, making it hard to compare prices.

I think halo's costing us Canadians around $70. I probaly didn't really need to pre-order it considering PEI's tiny population (100,000) would of decreased demand.
