Halo 3 Launch Plans

Halo 3 EVA Spartan Variant

With Halo 3 coming out this week, what are your launch plans to get a copy of the game? I got a call today from my local Gamestop letting me know they’ll be open Tuesday at midnight for the launch of the game. They indicated you needed to be there by 9pm to make sure everything is paid in full so everyone can get the game promptly at midnight.

I haven’t decided if I’m going then, but most likely I won’t. Sure, Halo is going to be THE killer app this year, but I’m honestly just not that excited. The multiplayer will be amazing, and we’ll get to see the end of story of Master Chief. Halo just has never really drawn me in like some other games. I’ll probably pick the game up sometime Tuesday and not touch it until Wednesday.

So what are your plans? Are you camping out and waiting for the release of Halo 3? Are you donning your most fitting Halo outfit? What are odds we see someone dressed as a Brute, with mask and everything? I’m betting fairly high.

Wii on Sale Nationally This Sunday

Joystiq is reporting on next week’s circulars that list Wii for sale at some stores. They have scans of the ads as well. Circuit City will have “limited quantities”, Best Buy will have a minimum 20 per store, and Target is advertising Wii-motes and Nunchucks, but not Wii’s. No idea if they’re have any systems.

So if you still haven’t found a Wii and are dying for one, go camp out at your local Best Buy or Circuit City in the freezing cold for your chance at the uber fun console.
