Still not quite at the
4 million mark, but more than the previously announced
1 million, today Microsoft released new
Halo 3 pre-order numbers and my oh my have they grown. Pre-orders for
Halo 3 have officially reached the 1.5 million copies milestone, which is an addition of 500,000 copies since the beginning of August. That friends is a whole lot of pre-orders and a whole lot of cash. We at X3F know we're responsible for a few of those 1.5 million pre-orders, but we're curious about you. Have you pre-ordered your copy already or are you all about standing in line and plopping down your $60 ($70 or $130) in full?

Not me. The last game I ever pre-ordered was Halo 2. I remember waiting in a 2 hour line at midnight while my friends who didn't pre-order had already picked up the game and were playing it before I made it to the cashier. Not this time, 7-11 here I come!

For a game this big I can't imagine shortages. I'll take my chances tomorrow. Between Wal Mart, Zellers, TRU, EB Games, Best Buy, Future Shop and the dozens of other possible sources I'm sure I'll find my copy somewhere.

I Pre-ordered the Limited, and now there is rumors of scratched discs abound on the internets.
I'm opening mine up at the counter, while they watch, to make sure its not scratched.

There is about 6-7 pages (so far) of Legendary Editions on Ebay . Some people are fucking vultures.

Already paid in full a month or two ago for the Legendary edition at Gamestop. I'll be there tonight at midnight, and possibly earlier for their Halo tournament.

While I never really played through Halo or Halo 2 I don't think I can miss out on the biggest game of the year so I'll be picking up a copy tomorrow at any local store that has it in stock.

Preordered the Limited at the same time I cancelled my Lair preorder. So, about a month ago, relatively late to the party I guess.
Since I'm not going to go out at midnight to pick it up, I'm just hoping Gamestop actually keeps a copy for me. Too many horror stories...
