It's a well known fact that blockbuster games are held for for this time of year. why?

I'd like to think that its because they want us to end the year with a bang. But common sense tells me

that its all for the holiday shoppers Moo-lah. Point is, we get a smorgeshboard of AMAZING Titles around this time of year.

For example: Last Year we got Fall Out 3, Far Cry 2, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, etc.

This year seems to have upped the ante even more with titles such as Bioshock 2, Moder Warfare 2, Halo ODST, Max Payne , The Sabetour, Splinter Cell Conviction, etc.

One trend that I'm starting to love is the Collectors Edition of games.

You could argue that all the "extras" could come already packaged in the game, but these deals never happened before, and I'm willing to pay a couple extra bucks for it. [I'd like to know your views on the whole collectors edition thing]

I plan on reserving me some Halo ODST and Modern Warfare2 Next week. I advise you to reserve because 1. Sweet deals and 2. You will see a limited supply of all these games come release.

I'll Post up some of the pre-order Deals:

Halo 3 ODST : http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=200720

Reserve Halo 3: ODST and receive a code that allows you to play as Sgt. Johnson in the new co-op mode - Firefight. Available for online and in-store customers while supplies last.

The Halo 3: ODST Collector Pack GameStop Exclusive comes with:

  • Special Edition Halo Wireless Controller

Purchase [early] copies of Halo ODST and get invited to play Halo REACH for the very first time.

Modern Warfare 2 : http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductReviewList.aspx?Product_ID=74785&type=ProductPreview&CCTest=1

Packed with bonuses for hardcore fans of Call of Duty, this Limited Collector's Edition includes a special hardcover book featuring exclusive concepts, never-before-seen imagery and final artwork from the award-winning team that details the breath-taking action from the soldier to the satellite. For PC owners, in addition to the hardcover art book, the Limited Collector's Edition for PC includes a digital copy of the BradyGAMES Official Strategy Guide, which provides players with a detailed single-player walkthrough, top-down maps, multiplayer strategies, weapon load-outs, and numerous other tips for the hardcore soldier.

So do you guys plan on reserving? Are you cash strapped this Fall-Winter? What do you think of the titles? Are you excited?

All I know is that I'm gonna be financially DEAD come the end of this year.

PS: If you know any more collectors edition/ reserve offers for the fall/winter games, or just a good fall/winter game that I forgot to mention, feel free to tell me.

"1. Sweet deals and 2. You will see a limited supply of all these games come release."

Absolutely not true! You can walk into any Target, Best Buy, etc. and get any new game on day one. The only places you will have problems getting a new game on release day are places like gamestop. Just so they can tell you that you should have pre-ordered (so you will pre-order from them next time and guarantee them a sale)...

3. Not all of these games will be worth the $59.99.

you do know that those stores are raided by gamers when Gamestop runs out, depending on the release. plus some reserve offers are only available AT gamestop

I cant even begin to tell you how many people dont get the reserve offer because store employees take them and say sorry, we dont have any more...

meh..i might pre order ODST, just for the halo reach beta, seargent johnson is cool and all, but not that appealing to me. Perhaps MW2 if they put a preorder bonus in there and it doesn't suck. Other than that, naw.

This whole pre-order hype is done purely for sales purposes. I haven't seen a game sell out everywhere in a long, long time.

My must gets are MW2, Assassins creed 2, and Conviction. Every thing else I am not sure about. I do not know why everybody is obsessing over odst. Firefight does not look that cool.
