[OT] Pre-Ordered Halo 2 Collectors Ed? Better check again!

What the heck are you talking about?

For those who ordered the Halo 2: Collectors Ed, this has apparently, at many stores, been sold out since or before August. Therefore, some may be filled in the first order due on Nov 9. Later shipments will be made to fill later orders.

What does this mean to me? you ask yourself?

I was not told this when I pre-ordered my copy last month. Therefore, if not for a friendly beekeeper who "sought, beheld and revealed the truth" to me, I might have not received my copy until 7 days after most of you here.

So?

So, check with your store to make sure you can pick up your copy when you expect to.

What if I am getting the regular Halo 2, does this apply to me?

Then you can ignore this, stop reading, don't read any further. It's a waste of your time Razz

What if I have a order for later than the first shipment, can I still get in the first shipment?

After some searching around, my local EB Games told me that I could order the game and pick it up upon release on Nov 9 (they had not received any instructions at this store to indicate that they had filled their order of Collectors Editions.) Check your local stores and stores just outside your local area, you might get lucky.

Why did you post this?

Because I have not seen this information posted anywhere thus far.

Do you like Jan or Durga better?

Isn't that on-topic? Ask me in another thread.

I heard this a rumor a couple of weeks ago. Bungie & Microsoft say that there should be enough copies to go around - Halo 2 went gold back on 10/11, almost a full month before the release date. PLENTY of time for them to press enough copies.

Go back and re-read this. Rolling Eyes It ONLY applies to the LIMITED COLLECTORS EDITION.

Do I need to scan my receipt in for the 11/16 reservation? I can and will. Granted, at this point, it's cancelled.

I'm not worried, I was the 3rd in line to reserve a copy, before there even was a Spec Ed, and Game Stop is giving those of us who did that first dibs. Which, now that I think about it, may be why they are already sold out of them....heh...heh....

So yeah, between that, and the midnight openning, I should be fine...

Game Crazy actually cut off preorders after they recieved so many for the Collectors edition. I don't see why other stores would do the same.

I heard from both EB and Game CrAzy, that they only get a limited number from Microsoft. They can only presell something like 25-30 copies, and then they get no more. I don't know if thats the actual number, but I was told it was pretty low.

I can't believe they would only limited edition these as people are probably more willing to buy it for the extras. Oh well, I got mine pre-ordered.

I work at Gamestop. Well over a million orders to fill up the first shipment. Second shipment(for us and the 3 other Gamestops in the region) are getting the second Speical Edition shipments on the 16th. But check out your local store anyway if you have the Speical Edition reserved for the second shipment, alot of peopl decide last minuet they want the regular edition(don't want to spend that extra $5) and I know at our store if we have extra copys and you decide you want the regular edition instead you can switch your reserve.

ditto... asked about 'first come first served', they never answered directly, just said no worries, you're guaranteed one. I find it hard to believe that thye can guarantee a copy no matter how many people sign up... <shrug> oh well, I still plan to be within the first 5 people at my store in line, if not the first Smile

leaving for EB right after work at 6pm, just gonna hang out in the mall until midnight Smile
