if you look at the pic of the back of the box, you can see all orange boxes are bolded, and one of them has to say "content dl" or "downloadable content" --usually the last box in the middle column.

With Halo, no. With other games, yes. (KOTOR)

Anywho. I'm mad they have shipped the game already....I think I'm gonna have to bomb my EB...after I find out if they have the game yet.

I hope it won't end up like The Matrix. They had the game like a week early and it was on display and on the "demo TVs" so people could try it. BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET YOU!!! They said "We'll be out of business if you touch that controller. Just step away, and enjoy our complimentary AC." (Ok, I added the last part, but who cares.) If they do that to me again, I will be highly dissapointed, or just forced to simultaneously jizz and explode all over the place from staring right at the game screen with my hand eight inches away from the controller AND NOT BEING ABLE TO TOUCH IT!

Depends where you bought it from. Some places will ship it 3 days earlier that normal street date so it gets to your house the day it comes out. Some places don't.

Yeah, we have ours in our stock room too. And it's not just a box, it's a lot of boxes. I can't say the exact number of copies we have, but it is A LOT. As in more than 300, more than 500, more than 700, more than 999 :whistle:

My manager is like a stone wall. WE WILL NOT BREAK THE STREET DATE! You know what happens if it is broken? That store loses all M$ support for Halo 2. Ouch. Not to mention a big fat lawsuit.

Until monday night, I will go into the back room, and cradle my copy of halo 2.

I held it in my hands.
This was the day.
It was finally here.
After long years of waiting the game was so close.
Yet monday cast it's ugly glare over the metal case. It's so, so far away.

So close yet so distant you know what I mean. I can hardly believe that the day is almost here, I was beginning to think it would never come. Now that it actually is here it seems more far away than ever before :(

There is one slight difference: Live.

To this point, no average citizen has been able to play on Live. As far as I know, the servers are 100% active (The ILoveBees training is today, and they will be playing it over Live). So those bastages can be playing away right now. Now, if you can't scrape a spoonful of hate out your heart, I can lend you some.

I don't think that it would be smart for them to play on Live with early/stolen copies of the game. The live team would immediately notice an unauthorized gamertag and then ban your ass.

The point is: The person from the above pictures didn't steal it. They walked into a store and bought it. (Or so their story claims). Many people are reporting that a small chain of stores around MI have been selling Halo 2, ignorning the street date. Therefore the consumer has done nothing wrong. I dont see how banning them would help that problem.

I just got back from my EB. They have it and a crapload of merchandise in. They've got a life size MC right inside the front doors, Tons of action figures and t-shirst and lord knows what else. Our local Xbox rep was there (cool guy) he told me a lot about multiplayer when I was there. He said the host is always the one with the biggest bandwidth (which we already knew) but that doesn't change who the admin is (which is something that was being questioned a while ago). Apparently the DVD with the limited edition DOES NOT contain any game demos. Crappy.

He said people with 1.2 mbps connections may be prone to some lag however everyone else is going to be fine. I mentioned SW: Battlefront and he laughed and assured me we'd have none of those shenanigans. He also warned that the beta testers are pure evil and there are quite a few who basically just waiting for monday night to rape us all.

Anyhoo, I saw the game, it's there, it's real, I had to fight the urge to grab and run. Monday can't come soon enough.

Thats cause the DVD with LE is just that, a DVD. It's not a game. And, we knew about the whole host/admin thing for quite a while.

Really? Show me where. I think you'll find it was a speculation by, ahem, me. If not, well, oh well.

Can anyone else confirm this? That seems like an awful lot of bandwidth needed. Especially since a lot of DSL lines aren't at that speed.

Who, if they worked for a games store wouldnt sneak a copy? Put the money in the till saying that you are pre-ordering your copy, take it home, no one would ever know! These pics are tormenting, its not fair! Think about it people, everythime you pop into your local games retail store, its there, in a dark cold store room waiting to be played. So close yet so far!!!!

Well, I was planning on showing up around 10:30 at the local EB to pick up my copy (actually both mine and my bothers, but they are both in my name) since they are fully paid. But get this.....

The manager there said that since they didn't have enough copies they were going to do a "raffle" for the copies they do have! You have to get there at 9 to get a ticket. If your number is not pulled you don't get a copy that night!!!!


My question is...for those that work at these types of stores... If there are more than one EB stores in town, can I pick my copy up at another store if it is allready paid for and I don't get mine????

That's why I don't f with EB. Best Buy and the other big stores get 10 times as many copies as they do and you can price match when it goes on sale in the next 30 days.

you should tease them.....

take a halo 2 copy up at the window and wave it at them, then open it in a sexual way and laughing manically telling them that you have halo 2 now and they dont.

:p


i think i may bring a taser gun with me so no punk will cut in front of me at midnite.

But i'd bring a taser gun so nobody tries to take my Halo 2 as soon as i step out of the store...
