Come again...
Wow, sounds like MS doesn’t want any (if any) negative comments/feedback revolving around H3 pending launch.

They did the same with Gears of War. You can't say the overall reception from reviewers and gamers was negative, though.

The first review...er of Halo 3
Thanks Acert! That was a great read. I'm a regular subscriber to the magazine. So hearing that they get the first review is awesome!!
Well considering subscribers get the magazine before the newsstands by weeks sometimes, I'm pretty sure the OXM review will get posted way before the game ships. I'll post about it here once I get mine, which should be any day now. Just remember folks, NO SCANS ARE ALLOWED!!

I saw it as a positive that they were allowing reviews to come out 2 days ahead of time :shurgs:
They must be getting a lot of copies.

I've never been in any midnight launch for any item, but I have a question: how long are they usually open and do they close again after everyone outside who pre-ordered got their game?
I work graveyard shift, and I go to break during midnight, though the drive from GameStop and back to my work will be 25 mins and I only have 15 mins break so its not happening.
I was thinking of going during "lunchtime" which is about 2:00am though I dunno how long a store opens during a midnight launch.
Anywho, ill spare the rest of the life story and just want to ask how long are stores open during midnight launches

Chances are you probably won't be able to get it until the morning

I'll give you an idea how my Halo 2 midnight launch went. I went to a GameStop and got in line about 6pm. I was 2nd or 3rd in line. I was told that we were only allowed to purchase the game and related accessories. They actually had sheets or plastic covering everything else in the store. They also said they would only be opened long enough to get everybody their game(if they had enough to go around). I doubt many stores will be opened at 2am, but you got nothing to loose.

My store had 500 preorders and they had everyone's with tons to spare.

Is there a bigger version from this one?
I just went to 24 hour Wal Mart electronics section at 12. They had a handful of people queued up, but no big deal. I suggest anybody worrying about it do the same.
I can agree with that. The biggest reason I buy mine at GameStop is because I'm usually always short on cash. So I usually reserve mine early and trade-in games or accessories over the next couple months or so to lessen the blow. Plus, usually GameStop will give you an extra 20% of your trade-in when use all of it toward Halo. I just paid mine off this weekend. I bought the $70 version and was only out $18 cash. The rest of it was all trade-in value.

There's a bloody watermark on it though. :|
Cheers!
Actually, a 2-day lead on reviews for big games is common. My understanding was that it has less to do with trying to prevent negative opinions from getting out as it does that reviews coming out generate a lot of hype. A game that gets a 9.5 review 2 weeks before launch will end up with less hype than a game that gets a 9.5 review the day before launch.
When developers want to prevent opinion on a game that may flop from getting out, they don't allow reviews to come out until release day. A recent, imfamous example of this was Spiderman 3.
