My store sadly is not going to be doing a midnight opening for Halo 3. So a lot of us at Best Buy have been trying to think of what we could do for you, the fans, when you come into the store to get Halo 3.

We did have a tourney of Madden 08 and gave the 2 winners a free copy of Madden 08. But due to Halo 3 being M Rated we have been told that we are unable to due another one, which I know everyone would sign up for to get a chance to get a free halo 3. So i am asking all fans of halo 3...

What would you like to see a store do, have, giveaway, or etc when you came in to buy Halo 3?

Honestly, I would hope that you guys are heavily advertising the pre-order aspect. That way people will thinkthey have to pre-order it in order to get a copy opening day. Second, if you can't do a midnight opening, then atleast post your opening hours and remind people to come early. 
In an ideal world I would love to see halo 3 tourney's at best buy... i think it would add tremendously to the sales if people could see the game in store but hey its true its rated M.
Hope that helped.

i would ask the boss if you could do a midnight launch and see what he says all you need to tell him is look at all the other stores that are doing it and tell him that you could loose sells do to the ppl that are goin to come and oops no midnight launch and theysay lets go buy it at eb games or gamestopif he still says no then i would suggest like seeing if you could like give something away with the purchase of the game like a shirt or some accesory that is useful not a wristband or something stupid like that lol just try to keep pushing the midnight launch though

The chief thing we thought of but no one makes them to buy, ive looked, i would buy 2 full suits and do thigns from red vs blue but most people hand make them and we lack skill to make them and/or time. A gladiator thing wouldn't work, best buy can't take the risk of someone getting hurt and sueing. The stores for midnight openings have been set no store can do midnight if not assigned, and i was asking 2 months before if we could do it but they said the company will decide. Giving away halo3 for nothing, we can't do, customers would have to do something to get a free halo, same goes with the 1600 points. Ideas are ok, but need more.

Giving away something helps but if its product from the store we woulddo 2to 10 units but customers would have to do something to "earn" it. Maybe like being the first 10 people in line and get the guide free or judging the biggest fan in line, etc.

Maybe give some Ms points away with Halo 3. I dont know if this is relevant but when Gears of War came out I had it pre-ordered but something happened with the shipping where I live and we didnt get it till a few days after it came out so they took $5 off of it.

any more ideas? i know about the gears of war, from what i heard from customers was that all the gamestops in south florida got delayed shippments but best buy got them and we got all their cstomers coming to us to get gears that day. Free ms point but what would you do to get them.
