I feel sorry for you guys who were waiting in the boonies. There's literally like 30 locations in a 20 mile span that all have Halo 2 tonight :)

i think Im going to buy the LE (if they have any) at walmart tomorrow, from what I can tell, they're giving out some free loot when you purchase it, like a lighted Halo 2 pen, strategy guide, etc

Haha the girl at Wal Mart gave me the Limited Edition one for the price of the regular, so that worked out. I can't find the covenant bomb on the very first level though. :(

Back from the 12:00 opening at Best Buy where I had my preorder. Snagged a Halo 2 hat on top of my Halo 2 t-shirt for being one of the first 100 buyers. :) The Master Chief made a showing in his Hummer H1, as did some babes from Microsoft. But for now, pics of the merchandise.

1) The outside case. Kind of awe-inspiring...
2) The case again, slipped out of its protective plastic shell.
3) Contents of the Limited Collector's Edition.

To answer one popular question: It seems that EVERY copy of Halo 2 (regular or collector's) comes with 2 months free of Xbox Live. More pics and caps in the morning.

I'm waiting for Painkiller Battle out of Hell.
Currently playing COD/UO.
Found Doom 3 to suck it. Not my bag.
