At this moment, it appears they are sending out confirmations to those attending the San Francisco convention; they have not sent confirmations out to the other ones as far as I know.

I got a little flavor text, in response to the one I sent:
I wrote:
Thank you for using me as an example to the rest of the crew in the instructions for these communiques. I am always pleased to serve the mission in every way I can.
She responded:

This is all well and good, but it does kinda sadden me to see Melissa cracking the curtain here and talking about being over 17, and email, and attendants. Maybe that's just because I'm in the wrong country and I can't go.

Maybe you need to be 17 to train because you need to be 18 to enlist!

I believe the age limit here is due to Halo 2 being rated M for "Mature," meaning that it would make Microsoft/Bungie look very bad if they let people 17 or younger play the game before its release but not let them buy it upon release.
Or, I'm just making this up as I go along.

I am sure this is true. In New York, the retailers can not sell it to a child without parental or guardian consent. At an Electronic's Boutique, the manager told me they could be fined if they even pre-ordered Halo2 for my son without my consent. I haven't been able to confirm that, but they and Game Stop have really become vigilant about enforcing this.
