GTA IV will own Halo 3.

GTA and Halo are two completely different games. I don' t think you can compare them. Unless you are talking about pure sales numbers... ?

ORIGINAL: Nitro

4M pre-orders in EB/Gamestop only!?

Bullshit.

What place NOT OWNED OR PART OF EB/GS takes pre-orders, dumb cock? Not many.

You speak as if there' s thousands of other stores that take pre-orders.

4 million Halo preorders?

That means 4 million losers, who pro orders games anyway? lol.

If you want the game within the first 2 weeks and the company has a history of short-shipping and not meeting demand, then it makes sense to pre-order.

Like, how Blizzard used to be, if you wanted Warcraft 3 and you didn' t pre-order, you couldn' t have it until a month later, period. World Of Warcraft was worse, in some areas people couldn' t get the game for months if they didn' t pre-order.

But I' ve never heard of Microsoft ever having problems shipping out enough software so I would never pre-order any of their games, I can just walk into a store on day 1 and I guarantee 200 copies of Halo 3 will be there.

Best Buy
Circuit City
GameCrazy
GameRush
FYE Entertainment

Not many though.

If you get there before late afternoon at places like Walmart & Target you can sometimes get copies of hard-to-find titles, but it' d certainly be pushing it for Halo 3. This is excluding the fact that I' d rather wait a day or two than buy from Target & Wal-Mart.[:' (]

What the *** is Game Crazy, Game Rush, and FYE Entertainment?

I' m talking about REAL stores.

I didn' t know you could pre-order at bestbuy and circuit city though, I seriously doubt that, because I remember in 2001 on FFX' s release date I went through dozens of EBs and Gamestops and couldn' t find it anywhere, then I walked into circuit city and there was a stack of like 20 copies of FFX, if they use pre-orders then there wouldn' t have been so many copies just sitting there.

But I don' t go to circuit city much, the place is such a ***ing scam, and their whole business model when it comes to electronics is so basic and pathetic. I have been admitted to by managers that they just order alot of shit in bulk from sites like newegg and zipzoomfly, then they crank up the price 35% or so and sell it, and that' s it. They are pathetic.

Best Buy' s Halo 3 Pre-order Page

Circuit-City' s Pre-order Page

I didn' t think they did games either, as I' ve never pre-ordered games from either (CD' s mainly), but I figured I' d search when you mentioned it.

What the *** is Game Crazy, Game Rush, and FYE Entertainment?

Game Crazy is hooked up to quite a few of the Hollywood Videos, Blockbuster' s GameRush is contestable since they seem to be dieing out a bit, but " For Your Entertainment" is pretty big around here.

Edit:

Really? There goes my respect for them. It does go to show you how kick-ass newegg & zipzoomfly are though.

Why would you have any respect for them?

Fry' s Electronics has 100 times more stock and variety than them and their prices are really close to what you pay for stuff on newegg, and they have sales like every other day in which case buying there can definitely be much more cheaper than anywhere online. Fry' s also sells games for $5.00 to $10.00 below MSRP during the 1st week the game is out, and they have a much larger selection including IMPORTS. Circuit City is a pathetic business and shouldn' t even exist when stuff like Fry' s Electronics is around.

I wish I had a Fry' s here in Denver. I' ve only been to the one in Houston (which rocked) and the shittier one in Dallas.

That means 4 million losers, who pro orders games anyway? lol.

Actually, need i remind you of a game called crackdown?

It took me a week before i could find one in my area, and when i did find one it was the last copy the store had
