GameStop in Orlando, FL will open at midnight and stay open until the line dies down.  Once it does they will close and then re-open at the normal time.  I heard rumor that they are only going to give out the pre-orders that are paid in full first...dunno if that's true though.

Some of those big chain stores like EB or gamestop.  I wold think that they would have so many preorders that they won't have enough copies to fill all of the orders.

Mine's being overnighted to me from amazon.  so.. I'm not too worried
I'll have it on the 10th most likely (maybe they'll ship early ??  probably not, but who knows)..

But no WAY I'm gonna go wait in a line at midnight on a Tuesday/Wednesday to get a game that will keep me up all night and make it impossible for me to function at work the next day (I'm an IT manager, and understaffed, so I have to be on my toes, unfortunately)..   However, I might mysteriously come down with the flu on the morning of the 10th  wink.gif , ya never know, things happen  biggrin.gif

thats how my eb is gonna do it... they arent even going to have open registers... only the people who have fully paid by preorder can get thiers...

thatll probably lead to some intense arguments...  laugh.gif

a manager at a Gamestop in a small town in alabama said they will have a midnight release, so I would assume all Gamestops will sell them at midnight

and another question..
what time will you start lining up?

I think I will get to the store around 10

This employee at gamestop told me that he was told that the limited edition halo 2 will be delayed about a week.  Remember that this is heresy.

my friend is the manager of a EB... he says they aren't allowed to close until all copies of Halo 2 that weren't pre-ordered sell out and if they don't sell out they stay open until closing on nov. 10th
