Should i really pre-order halo 3? Anyone think it'll be all sold out on its release date? I don't wanna pre-order it cause i wannna see if costco is selling it for a cheaper price.

with 1 million pre orders it could be difficult to find, but still probably be able to get it. I bought mine for 39.99 2 months ago so thats about the best deal i saw

I bought halo 2 at Costco about 3 days after it came out and they had a whole bunch. Costco sold it for like $6-$8 cheaper.

You may not have to but I was at best buy today and decided it wouldn't hurt since I was going to buy it from there anyway.

Have you seen the line there was for Halo 2? I wouldn't get it at a store at all myself, mine's coming from amazon, free shipping, and all. It'll arrive the 26th, sure, but at least I won't have to wait all day for it.

I decided not to preorder it since its more likely than not that best buy will have a billion copies for sale like with Halo 2.

at liongames i would put the site but i got in trouble on GS last time i did that so just type that in your search and you will find it,it was only for a limited time they were selling it that cheap i think they are back to like 55.99 now.

I preordered it even though I don't really want it and don't usually preorder. I don't preorder because like people said, there's always Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc. However, I wanted it to be at my house when I come home from school. When Halo 2 came out, everyone went crazy, but I walked into Gamestop and they had about twenty collector's editions and about fifty regular ones. It's basically personal preference and whether or not you feel like searching for a copy. If you don't mind looking and calling around, I would say don't worry about preordering.

A preorder is nearly 100% necessary to get the game on release day without having to frantically search for it.

It might not be necessary but, really what's the harm in preordering? Since all your doing is covering all your bases.

I doubt you'll have a problem finding the standard edition. I'm not so sure about the Collector's Edition, and the Legendary will probably be completely sold out before the release date.

If you have a gamestop (or EB Games or Software, etc.) in your area, you canreserve it for five bucks. Then you're guaranteed a copy on release day.

Peace,

completely false. when halo 2 came out we never sold out of it. I dont think they would be foolish enough not to put out enogh copies. Come on even seven-eleven and white hen pantry is going to sell it.

I'd do it, but then again I'm not a cheap skate and would spend the extra $5 :)

You used the free shipping from amazon? That's like 5 day shipping dude.
