I just pre-ordered the Limited Edition Halo 3 game and the Limited Edition Halo 3 Covenant/Brute controller. I also got a free $10 gift card with my order. I hope to get a 360 for my birthday (which happens to be September 28, 3 days after the Halo 3 launch). I will probably get the game within 1 or 2days of the launch since I live 30 min. from the warehouse. The controller comes 2 weeks before the game does, and the gift card in the next week to week and a half.

I was driving down the road at around 7:20 PM today and the highway was shut down cause President was in town, so I waited 20 min. and then his motorcade of 26 cars, limos, and troopers came down the road. It was pretty sweet and I hope I see it again sometime.
