RB5-Black

>> From GameSpot.com:

Numerous reports surfaced today from the Midwest claiming several retail chains had broken Halo 2's street date. Several reports on the Gaming Age forums--which included photos of the limited edition of the game--said that several individual Meijer stores, a self-described "grocery and general merchandise retailer" that operates in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky, were selling the game early. Outlets in Toledo, Ohio, were mentioned specifically.
However, calls made by GameSpot to several Meijer outlets made it sound like the franchise was sticking to the deadline. "Halo 2? That doesn't go on sale until next week," was the typical response. Regardless, people have already gotten their hands on copies of Halo 2 from somewhere, because several "in-hand" copies of the game are already on sale on eBay, some with options for next-day shipping.


someone paid over £150 for the SE box set

I'm waiting for my copy from gamestation, so i should get it next week, but paying that much for a copy?? I think not!!!

RB5-Black

You swine!!!!

Show me more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheSquirrel

Its like Halo ****

"Show me more"

"Take it off"

"I paid good money for this"

"Could you show a picture of Halo with the cover open in a seductive pose"

Ok i will get my coat but before i go

I say good on us if we can by-pass the official release date, i obtained GTA-SA for the PS2 about a fortnight before it came out..........., oh the barra's are better
Halo2 has been up at the market for about a month but you need a chipped machine to run it and the ps2 is chipped not the Xbox as i would make an **** of it when i connect to Live and get banned

I will be back on Thurs, that old devil the PS2 has absorbed my attention for the past wee while. Mainly in the shape of WRC4 and GTA-SA but will be back on Live when i get Halo 2 but will defo be back hardcore when GTR finally hits home, apparently its out in Germany, the game that should sort the men from the boys

I think we need to get the DTM's out on Toca 2 to put this one to bed

Agreed, for now, although I prefer the V8's TBH when you can find a room with people who won't wall ride or slam you off track all the time like I seem to have found lately!!!

Ordered my Halo2 from gameplay, and am just waiting to see if they actually post it off today instead of tomorrow!!

wah

I got this from amazon yesterday, now why do I feel I won't be getting mine on the 11th ?????

Dunno mate, I thought the release date was always the 11th??
Still, my order on gameplay hasn't said "dispatched" yet, only an ETA of dispatch for today so I am not sure if mine is going to turn up as early as I had hoped yet either!!!

wah

Oh well if it doesn't come I will look forward to getting my **** kicked on line lol

RB5-Black

***** to it I'm gonna buy it from where ever I can on thursday, then when my SE box arrives form amazon I'll take the original one back

just hope I can get a copy on Thursday.

RB5-Black

Wah : your letter from Amazon has got me all in a tizzy ,

I just wrote a very peed off email to amazon informing them that if they can't fulfil a 6 month old pre-order then Iwill take my money elswhere in the future.

wah

Lol a 6 month pre-order mine is 10 and if I don't get it I will be more than peed off I can tell you
