Do you have a cold? :)

Cincinnati Ohio..come on down to the Western Hills Best Buy to reserve your Legendary, because we still have a few left.

The only location in the tri-state Cincinnati area (perhaps all of Ohio) that is doing a midnight opening is the Florence location.

I know that's a bit local to mention here but I'm sure that this info matters to maybe one or two guys out there.

No kidding. I preordered 1 legendary, 1 collectors, and 2 regular for me and my family. I also did it when they announced the Legendary, thank God.

Now, it'll be interesting to see who's willing to part with them and try pawning them on eBay, and when that happens, how much they go for.

Of course, you could also drive. Just sayin'.

Knight, why FOUR FREAKING COPIES??

I preordered my legendary box an only owe like, 23 bucks left on it. I plan on camping out side my local Gamestop in the mall for my Launch Day festivities. Then its off to my basement for two days straight to get thru Halo3. I have too many good games coming this month to waste time :)

See, I have preordered Halo 3, Assassins Creed, The Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, and there is one other one... oh yes, Guitar Hero 3. :) (I found my recipt, or else GH3 would have been like, um... can I call a friend please Regis?)

I preordered online, and its coming to my apartment. I don't want any potential screwups with the idiots at a store.

What about the potential screwups with the delivery people?

EBgames and gamestop stopped taking preorders about a month ago. or at least thats what the workers there told me when i tried to preorder mine. Bestbuy is still taking orders though.

Ever heard of "eBay". Diablo II Collector's Editions were going for $200+ back then - and they were a $80 marked price.

He's going to make out like a bandit. $300 per copy, MINIMUM.

Meh. Just want to play the game......

I sure hope Amazon didn't over-promise on their preorders. Not as bad, but still bad, would be to have a few waves of shipments go out before they got to mine.

Of course, I like that eBay idea, but who knows how the prices would be if EVERYBODY dumps theirs...

It's too expensive for tons of people to buy more than one, and it's too popular for people who bought one to sell theirs and buy a standard copy.

This is like Diablo II - popular enough that people will want their own and not sell it, and expensive enough on its own that tons of people can't hoard preorders for re-sale on eBay.

I was thinking about going to the midnight oepning at my local gamestop, but the guy there (very nice fellow, come to think of it) said that i'm guaranteed a copy of it, no matter what, on Tuesday, be it midnight or later.

And its the Limited, not Legendary. I don't own a cat 24/7

The Limited ($70) edition is under the radar, and it comes with a book not in the Legendary.

Play.com have just opened up their pre-orders for ppl in the UK. it's no cheaper than RRP but if you want one, go there.

Nah, I won't do the eBay thing, the four copies are for me, my wife, and twins. We all have our own 360's, and our own Gold Live accounts, and we all play online. Thusly, games like Halo 3 really take a pinch out of the wallet, as it's a game we'll all likely be playing at the same time, not to mention that 4 person co-op!

GameStop stopped taking all Halo 3 presell/reserves on Maddenoliday (August 28th I believe that was.)
