i was looking forward to doing that and talking geeky to my fellow geeks about games.

lol i'm almost considering going and waiting in line with them all and then when I go to pick up my copy of h3, i'm going to ask for my $63 back because I already have it heh. that would be pretty damn funny

but nah ... I think i'll just stay home and play it instead.

if you are going to be on h3 definitely send me a friend request ... gamertag is purbeast, and if you send me one plz put "atot" or something in the message part because typically I won't accept random friend requests if I don't know who its from.

Screw that...I'd rather have played it all weekend and gotten to say "haha" to all of us normal people who had to wait.

5 hours and counting...I don't think I've ever been this pumped to go do a midnight anything (Star Wars EP1, Matrix: Reloaded, etc. Didn't do this for Halo 2 but got it the next day)

yea or i was thinking of going and selling my copy to some kid in line for like $100 and then I would have made out on the whole halo 3 thing

It would have probably gone for like 200 on ebay. How did you manage to get it so early anyway?

Are there many people playing online yet? Bungie shows around ten thousand so far who have it. Mine is coming tommorow via UPS, I'm glad I didn't get the collectors edition after that whole disc scratching thing, that would really suck.

Wish I was. Just coverage of ppl standing in line?

Naw. It's covering all aspects of Halo 3, occasionally showing live footage of people in line. I'm sure there will be more once it closes on midnight.

Free Halo 3 goodies for Live Gold members.

From IGN:
Microsoft plans to release exclusive Halo 3 content free to Xbox Live Gold members this week, according to a post today on the Gamerscore blog, an Xbox 360 and Xbox Live site run by Microsoft employees.

Gold members who click on the "Unite to Fight" ad on Xbox Live starting at midnight tonight will be able to download four exclusive Halo 3 items: a Halo 3 Dashboard theme, a Halo 3 Gamerpic, and two documentaries about the game.

The theme and picture pack will be available for download at midnight tonight. On Thursday, the "Inside Bungie: Halo 3 - The Story" video, which includes interviews with the Bungie team, will be available. On Friday, Microsoft will release the "Inside Bungie: Halo 3 - New Features" video in which Bungie team members discuss (surprise!) the game's new features.

If you have any time left, you might be able to actually play the game, which launches at midnight tonight.

Stopped by the 7-11 next to the house - they said they only have 2 copies Looks like after the gym it's off to Walmart to wait in line. Almost tempted/wondering should I even bother waiting in line, or head over at 12:15-12:30, stroll in, get my copy, and leave. (Getting the regular edition) Thoughts?

The Limited Edition is definitely worth the extra $10 if you dig the additional material.

I agree with what the ragingbitch said earlier about the limited edition. I got halo 2 LE and never once took the extra content disk out.

I'm going to get the standard game and I'm sure that will satisfy me

Yeah, I got the regular edition as well. But if I could go back in time, I'd get the LE instead.

Just read the LE contents. Doesn't seem too shabby...if it comes down to it when I'm picking a copy and LE is there, I might grab it instead. Although I'm gonna bet I'll never use the extra content just like Halo 2

I got it online from Family Video because of the unbeatable price, so yeah, it's on a UPS truck right now. I won't be able to play it at midnight, but it'll definitely be sometime tomorrow.
