Just thought I'd pass this along if no one has heard of it yet.

Pre-order Halo 3 and get 1600 MS points for $5

As many of us are probably going to pre-order Halo 3 anyway why not get some cheap MS points, too?

I was thinkin about doin that..... Is it an online only special or can u get it in the stores toodrummer13us
I believe it's online only. But you can check out the page and see what it says, or next time you go to a Best Buy just ask em.

Well, since the money you put down for the pre-order goes toward the cost of the game I've begun pre-ordering a lot more often.

Yeah, I took advantage of that deal about a month ago, I'm not worried about Halo 3 availability but I may as well get a free 1600 in the process.

I'm usually the same way, but the way I figure if you're going to get the game anyway why not? ;) -K

Pre-order guarantees you'll have a copy waiting for you on launch day... but if you'd rather wait in a long line with no guarantees of getting it, by all means, go right ahead.

I pre-ordred Guild Wars about 3 months before its release and I had to wait for over 3 weeks for the next shipment to come in..... and at other shops they were selling it when I had to wait 3 weeks..... same thing happened for FF10 and WoW:BC..... I'll probally take alook around my local shopping center.... im sure one of the shops will have it.

Then you got screwed. Pre-order is supposed to guarantee there will be a copy for you on launch day. You need to start going somewhere else because you're getting shafted.

-It's online only
-I don't pre-order games
-I haven't made up my mind as to what edition I want

So thanks, but no thanks.

Best Buy does the same thing, but they sell it to anybody that comes, even though your supposed to get it on that day, they don't  give a damn about  your  pre-orders

best buy doesn't get games till wedsday, gamestop and ebgames get them that tuesday, so you have fun waiting an extra day or two. Plus i never have a problem getting a game on launch day and i never ever pre-order. I'd rather keep that pre order money in the bank and earn interest on it than give gamestop money and reinvest. All the kids on this board keep this in mind. The dollar you have in your hand today is worth more than that same dollar 3 months from now.
