Anyone planning on being sick on the 25th for the release of Halo 3? I'll be going to the midnight release and would love to get a group together to play that night on Live. Assuming of course that I get my broken 360 back in time...

No need to call in sick because Tuesday is the only day I have off from school and work.

Hard to call in sick when you're self employed. The boss kind of sees through that act.

I'll probably be off work that entire week. Not just for Halo 3, but I've got no doubt that it will take up a serious portion of my vacation time.

No. I'll be saving my sick day for Team Fortress 2.

Hmm...my employer just announced that starting this year, every employee gets one personal day. Not that I'm much of a Halo fan buy playing online all night with Goodjers would be fun...ahh decisions decisions.

No good for me. With the current 4-6 week turnaround on repairs, I don't even think I'll have mine back yet.

Mmmm, sick day on the 25th... Good idea, I can install the Crysis demo, play it, upgrade my rig, and play it some more!

I'm just not *that* excited. I'm sure it'll be good and all, but not "skip out on work" good. Contrariwise, I would have taken off for Harry Potter 7 if I had needed to - my anticipation of that was much higher.

I'll be off that day too.

Woot! I just got my 360 back so I'll definitely be on after the midnight release. Shoot me a friend request if anyone wants to hook up. I don't know if I'm more excited about the Forge or 4 player co-op, should be fun all the way around though...

Considering I haven't preordered it and don't intend to try now, what do you think the chances are of it being in stock at a target/walmart/best buy on release day? I haven't been paying any attention to news regarding availability...

WHAT?! Oh, man, now you likely won't see it until, like, Easter or something. These big retailers preorder these things for a reason, goddammit, and that reason is there are only going to be so many of these things. They're rare! They're like centaur testicles sprinkled with ground unicorn horn, and if you don't preorder, woe be unto you and you'll almost certainly f*cking DIE without ever SEEING the GODDAMNED GAME!.

God I hate game stores.

Go to Best Buy on release day, they'll have them by the dozens. Unless you want one of the cat helmets, in which case you're probably out of luck.

I took advantage of the Best Buy MS Points deal and ordered the game through there. I most likely will not be receiving the game on day 1, but I should have it by the weekend.

I pre-ordered my copy through CircuitCity. Anyone have experience with how fast / good their shipping is? I'm guessing I wont have my copy on the 25th, but I hope it #1) arrives and #2) isnt all banged up.

I think they had some deal on shipping at the time I placed my order. but its been so long now.. I forget.

I've ordered from their site before (although I usually just go the in-store pickup route). You'll be fine.
