    So, if I don't show up for the "pre-processing," and I go there at 12:30 instead (like Auburn), what will happen?

    Got to Gamestop at 11:30.

    Pre-processed by 11:35.

    Waited until 12:00 near back of line.

    People started filing out of the store at 12:01.

    Got my console at 12:04.

    Back in car by 12:05.

    Overall, kind of impressed at the speedy processing of it all. Could have gotten there ten minutes 'til and would have been outta there in about the same time.

    You'll pay for the game, and then walk out of the store.

    It's basically considered standard store hours.

    Oh. Well then, that's what I'll do, I guess. I mean, I paid for it today, so... I should be good to go. Hopefully. Who knows.

    Just be careful, gamestops stay open at their manager's call. When the manager decides the demand isn't worth it, they'll close her up.

    So if they file everyone out by 12:04 and no one shows up for 15 minutes, they might closer her up at 12:20.

    Ok, I've decided to try and pick this up tomorrow. Best Buy and Target are right next to each other; hopefully one of them has a copy.

    Best of all, I can just call it a B-Day present. Yes, that's right, the 14th is my B-Day.

    Reach GET.

    Really lackluster prerelease as seems to be the part for the place, managed to win a shirt and some Halo magnets.

    Oddly, the shirt isn't even Halo related. Oh well - free shirt is free.

    Installing this thing now.

    Reading that again, it's more like eight hours.

    I've got a pretty bad cold though, so I might just get my work done early, excuse myself and hit up Gamestop on the way home.

    I was debating staying after work and checking out the midnight release...

    ...but then I saw that copies of the new Professor Layton game came in, and that sort of made up my mind to what I was going to buy tonight. :winky:

    Probably will still pick up a copy after I get paid on Thursday, though.

    Just played through the first level of campaign


    First thing: The graphics are gorgeous, the framate is not. Maybe it's because you're with
    all of noble team except Jun
    at one point in the level, maybe it'll get better latter, also I didn't install it so that might help

    The voice acting and animations are great, the twitchy kat or the athletic Emile.
    There was one marine who's was shockingly bad voice acting in comparison o everyone else (It was only one line can't remember what he said but it really stuck out)

    Also their was a moment were I lierally said OH SHIT at a scripted moment, hope there's more of those.

    Oh, and got like 5 achievements in the one level lolz

    So far so good.

    Seems like Halo has some odd freezing issues sometimes. My friend cant even play his copy. put it in, it froze, then the second time it worked fine, he made his Spartan, and then it froze, and now whenever it gets past the Bungie logo it instantly freezes in the scene or if he skips the scene the choose a device choice pops up and freezes it there. Oh and one time he joined my game straight up and instead of freezing, after he joined and said he was in the game, it said this disc is unreadable. Shit man, this saddens me.

    This thread is killing me! I have to wait until the game gets shipped to Kuwait from Amazon. And I cant help but click on spoiler tags, I'm too weak! I have at least another week to wait until it gets here. At least I will have 4-5 months offline to get all my Campaign and local co-op and firefight out of my system, I wont be playing online MP until February :(
