Where's the logic in making everyone get in their cars and drive 30 minutes to get out to Henderson when there's TWO BB'S IN LAS VEGAS?!?!? (One of those BB is less than 10 minutes from my house!!) Is the extra special stuff gonna be worth it? Hmmmm

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Not in Des Moines but Dubuque! lol

Ok so I can drive 3 hours to Des Moines....pick the game up and drive 3 hours home.

...hmmmmmm ORRRR I can drive 10 minutes to EB for the midnight launch. Yea I'm goin to EB.

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Anyone else notice the listing for Virginia Beach has a 9 in it instead of a "G"? Interesting typo...

WheelDawg

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Better get your extra $3 ready for this one!

redzie

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> I'm guessing the list is accurate. They list the "Cascade Station" store in Portland, OR and that's a brand new store. It's only been open a few weeks.

Jordan Lund

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> My EB is gonna be open at midnight... preorder's already paid in full thanks to trading in the copy of GH2 that was annoyingly packaged with my 2nd Guitar, Saints Row, and Perfect Dark. Halo 3 and a 2nd Guitar for 100$ and two crappy games I never play seemed like a good deal. I won't be lining up though, just going to show up a few minutes early, grab it, and go home to ideally play through the whole damn thing in one sitting.

mentalboy11

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> There seems to be a bigger representation for Des Moines here then I would have expected. 2 posts with people mentioning Des Moines (not including myself).

Hmm, according to TV executives, each letter that they receive is equal to about 10k people. So following that logic you have 30k readers from Des Moines Kotaku. It's time to show us some love! Or something like that.

Anyway. No Halo for me this time around. I'll wait to rent it. Then wait for the price to drop before buying (if I like the rental).

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> I pre-ordered mine at my local F.Y.E. They only have like 200 pre-orders so far but they're still doing a midnight launch.

TechnoPirate

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> They're missing store 850 which is in Chesapeake VA.

Mountain Dew is even coming out and doing some stuff. Like throwing soda cans at everyone

ArmyofJuan

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Cool a midnight launch for 3 people waiting in line.

d4t4

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> The midnight launches held at Best Buy stores are almost always the same stores every midnight release. But, I did notice a lot more MN locations then I am used to seeing including the new Apple Valley location.

So, if you are a Best Buy regular, you should already know which store is going to be open for sure.

Justcrim

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> How can they list TWO locations for Washington DC/Baltimore, and put both in MD. Stupid. BB in Sterling, VA was a 360 launch location. Shoulda used one for this one. I've already scheduled Sept 25 as an off day, with a CC preorder. I could drive down to the Virginia Beach store and spend the evening with my parents.

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Fuck yeah! The Best Buy on Atlantic Blvd is on the other side of the city for me. Luckily, The Best Buy on Blanding Blvd is only 30 seconds away.

shintourismo

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Just pre-ordered today at my local EB store, and they told me they'll be doing a midnight launch as well. I live in Canada. Anyone else who live in Canada hear anything from their EB?

Best Buy has the best pre-order deal as they'll give you a 1600 Point card for $5 when you pre-order.

skullivan

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Like anyone is really going to sell out of Halo 3. I didn't bother to preorder it. I am just gonna roll outta bed on launch day and pick it up at either Target or Walmart. Don't believe the hype. There will be plenty for all!

pupaboy

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Best Buy 586 South Hills/Bethel Park Pennsylvania will be open at midnight, I'm on their Geeksquad and we've known about it for a while now.

Hexidecimal

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Better start waiting in line now. The media needs people to laugh at since there are no Star Wars movies coming out. I bet they'll even hand out some awesome paper hats! ^^

People that wait in lines for unlimited mass produced goods have something wrong with them.

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> "Official Launch Kit"...i can't help but think that it contains some kind of useless Halo 3 trinket (decal or sticker)

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> I wish the Best Buy I work at would have a midnight opening. I was pissed when I didn't see my store number on that list a month ago!

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> well, wouldn't you know it, my hometown get's a mention here on Kotaku, and all I got is a lousy....hey I didn't get anything.

RobertIsbell

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> @Mezodon:
lol a service plan for the game.

Snukadaman_

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> They gave out "launch guides" during the ps3 launch too. It was a 10 page magazine that described the PS3 (with innacurate information), advertisements for GamePro (a horrible mag btw), descriptions (again, innacurate) on upcoming games and of course information about service plans/etc.

Bestbuy sucks when it comes to games.

poematik14

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> It's Best Buy, so the "launch kit" is probably nothing more than information on what else you need to buy to maximize your purchase... like a service plan on the game, extra controllers, extra memory cards, etc. Typical Best Buy BS in other words.

Mezodon

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Luckily, I manage my own store. We're having an H3 midnight launch, and I'll be one of the lucky few who gets H3 before everyone else. :)

Squaretangle

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Wow...
Thanks to some connections in the Swiss retails bussines, I will be getting mine the same day as the US launch...

Yea, the Gamestop on Coors is opening at midnight as is the EB in Cottonwood mall.

I preordered months ago at the GS on Coors by Target. I'll be there midnight

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> @mikeluisortega: Or click lower on the list.

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> i wouldnt get excited about that "official launch kit" thing....it might be a bar of soap, a small can of axe, and oxy pads?

yea halo 2 had a midnight opening ..ALOT of people at the carson store i was at...

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> I love (and by love, I mean hate) how the Chicago stores aren't even in Chicago.

WaltJay

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> New Yark? I didn't know we had a new state.

y2julio

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Someone mentioned UK so just thought I'd mention that AFAIK most GAME and Gamestation stores in the UK will be doing midnight launches simply as a matter of course, as with console launches and Halo 2/GTA games.

My store certainly is, but I'm not working this one. Wii launch was a great experience with lots of people looking excited and a great buzz in the air, PS3 launch put me off with loads of kids getting way too much money spent on them when it wasn't even their birthday or Xmas. Neither system had many games worth playing at launch, the PS3 buyers just seemed really gloomy :(

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Oh Best Buy - Hawaii, where art thou?

MelodyKitn

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> @vagrantwade:

Both West Des Moines stores are having the Midnight opening.

iamspoo

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> @moopcow: there is one, it's on SE military drive in San Antonio at the bottom of the list. When I click the list it gets cut off so you have to squint and look at the cropped pic on this page for the complete list.

mikeluisortega

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Nothing for New Mexico... :(

Is Gamestop or Hastings doing anything?

CONFUSEDgam3r

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> or just go to 7-eleven at midnight, since they're always open.

Stimpy

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> @Strider_Seven:
You would have to check with Gamestop. This is just a list of Best Buy locations.

vagrantwade

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> is it just best buy that's providing these launch kits? cause the nearest store on this list is an hour away.

nothing with gamestop?

Strider_Seven

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> @lafond66: But then you're going to Gamestop.

InsidiousTuna

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> There'll be a midnight opening in a small town in Ireland right.... Right?!?!

Zeouterlimits

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> @JGab:
It's not that rare to have midnight launches for big games...I mean stores do it all the time for Blizzard games. And I am pretty sure Halo 2 had a midnight launch. It is possible to be a Nintendo fanboy and not make dumb comments about rival companies. Wii60 it up.

vagrantwade

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Or you could go to any Gamestop...

lafond66

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> I like how there are 3 Houston and 2 Dallas stores but none in San Antonio or Austin.

Moopcow

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Is this Microsoft's doing I wonder or Best Buy's?

If it's MS then they sure are pumping out mechandise and trying to make a pretty penny with just one game...of course that's all MS really owns that's big at the moment...

If it's Best Buy, I could say the same I guess...

JGab

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Wonder what the official launch kit is, though. Comes with special Mountain Dew? No thanks.

Mesren_Makai

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> What about us Canadians? We want a midnight launch too!

projectg

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> I see a spot for Memphis on there. But I won't go. Halo 3 is going to be a rental for me. Maybe 2 rentals?

Mesren_Makai

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> I bet the "Official Launch Kit" is either some special stuff for the 360 like themes and pictures, or it's a bunch of stickers and stuff like that. Either way, it'd be kinda cool to have.

jihadjoe343

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Only one here in Iowa which is odd. But I am glad, seeing as how I never preordered from anywhere.

vagrantwade

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Sweet, the Waldorf, MD store is on there. I already preordered at Gamestop, but I think I might stop by for the promo stuff.

Raziel66

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Aussie details PLZ!

Diomades

]]> <![CDATA[Halo 3 Best Buy Midnight Launch Locations]]> Or you can just preorder it on Amazon and have it show up in the mail the day of launch...
