they call you the second they have it, and hold a copy for just for you. also since the pre-order is $5, its like giving them mone in advance, so the game will be $55 when you go to pay for it (i think)

Where did you get it reserved? Because EB Games and Gamespot have it guaranteed for you, but it depends on the store

It doesn't hurt to pre-order it, they will hold a copy for you when the game comes out.

If you reserved it, then you'll get a copy the day of release. Don't worry, there will be enough to go around.

My EB Games is having a midnight release, but if you reserve it for $5, it will only be 55 instead of 60, and you will be guaranteed a copy whether you go get it at midnight or you wait until 5 oclock the next night, it'll be there waiting for you, unless they don't get enough to cover reserves but that rarely happens.

sometimes I go to gamestop and they scare me because they never call me when I reserve a game, and other times when I tell them my name they dont check because they have enough I just hope if they didn't have enough and my name was on the list they had my game. other wise I would break every dragonball z game they have in the store. How many is that? 123 1/2

yea i reserved halo2 but most stores get so many in that it doesnt really matter i remeber when they did a midnight release for halo2 theyhad a reserved line and a first come first serve line, but when it was all over they still had like40 games left. video games usually dnt sell out becuz they can make a lot of em and they wanna sell as many as possible. especially a huge game like halo 3 they no theres a huge demand!

It simply means you are gauranteed a copy on the release day. They have a specific amount of pre-orders they can take in (the ones they are gauranteed to recieve on release day) and if they fill the pre-orders you just have to hope you can get one of the extras they recieve.

BTW, I got mine from Circuit City. This is the first time I have pre-ordered something from them, so I am kind of skeptical. However they claim that I will also get a 4-foot Halo 3 wall graphic too! So thats why I chose to go with them.

sometimes if you dont pre-order a game like halo 3, gta 4, etc. the game is so popular that it sells out almost instantly at all the stores that carry it. so if you live in a sort of small town walmart, target, best buy, circuit city will probably sell out of the game in the first couple of hours. so its good to pre-order the game if you want it that day. sometimes itll take those stores listed another 2-3 days to get another shipment of games in. so you might not be able to get that game that comes out on tuesday until like friday becuase it sells out.

It will be $60.24 when you pick it up. I like to preorder in full because sometimes they call the people ahead of others that paid in full. I know thats how it is when you pre-order Madden in full.

you can pay 30 when youorder it, then 20 a week later, then 10 when you pick it up

it doesnt matter, as long as they get all the money before you play the game.
