Yep. Halo. 7-11. Pre-Order.

Now, i dont have any other info other than "Pre-order halo with a small amount of money down" mainly because the guy working there didnt speak english. When i head back there tommorow, illl check with the guy i do know, and see what exactly is going on.

I can remember all the ign articles from Japan talking about 7-11 exclusives and midnight releases....sounds cool to me!

A sticky green grenade to go with the green slurpie...

[Derwood43]

Instead of fishing for all of these pre-orders, and all of the random phone calls...how about releasing the game early? It seems like they have too much time on their hands.

November can't come quick enough.

[Wshakspear]

actually, the picture they had printed up had a few other logos, including 7-11 and mountain dew...so maybe theres going to be a big green push this Nov?

I agree, November is taking way too long, and Ive had my Halo 2 preodered for about a year now..

[Reality's Fringe]

You know what's weird? I've NEVER seen a 7-11. Ever.

[zewone]

^^^
Thats crazy! Theres one like every corner over here.

[Kaijufan]

I never expected to see a gas station selling Halo 2.

[Murcielago77]

ill cancel my preorder if i can get it at midnight on the 9th from 7-11 because i have one like a block down the street.

[Mr. Anderson]

That is pretty nuts. I have seen no such thing at my local 7-11.

[Wshakspear]

This was at the corner of commerce and...commerce? These roads are screwed around here. Its in the little plaze with a benitos pizza, subway, and that re-sale shop.

I wonder if it will be chainwide, or just being done by more crafty owners

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I can see it now, Go Big Green Machine!

[sisco1986]

I love 7-11, where else can you get a hot dog, a gallon of slushie, with 3 bucks at 3 am? If my local 7-11 would sell games I would be in nirvana :shock:

Only if they were cheap-ass games ;)

I remember about 5 years ago they were selling CDs/Videos/DVDs in the ones in the Mid Atlantic Region, so it wouldn't shock me at all/

[Reality's Fringe]

God fucking damnit....I must see these mystical 7-11s you speak of.

[tolhurst]

They go the 7-11 route, how livid will game retailers be? Diluting the market for one of the only surefire moneymakers for retailes while letting them wither on the vine with the the other 80 percent or so that doesn't sell well. If I owned a game store, I'd be pissed.

"Hello, Mr. Nahasapeemapetilon, i would like a copy of Halo and Phantom Brave"
"Are you crazy, Mr. Sir? We have this halo you speak of, but i do not know of that other thing. Go somewhere else. Thank you, come again!"

[Trakan]

Weird. Too bad I already have it pre-ordered. There's a 7-11 like 5 miles from my house.

[Ledhed]

There's about 5 within a mile of my house. I suppose they aren't as widespread as they are down here, seeing as how RF has never seen one.

[Wshakspear]

1 year ago, there was one 7-11, about 15 miles from my house...now there are 6

[SOSTrooper]

I'll see if I can pre-order it from a local strip club at midnight as well. Maybe with every pre-order I get a free lap dance...

:lol:

[Legolas813]

most 7-11s went out of business a couple of years ago down where i live

[Quackzilla]

People are throwing money at the game already and it doesn't look much better than Halo1, which you gotta admit was boring as hell.

[Mr Peanut]

I've seen my 7-11 selling some PS2 controllers sitting behind the counter. I didn't really understand why.

[sj41]

People are throwing money at the game already and it doesn't look much better than Halo1, which you gotta admit was boring as hell.To me, this does look better than the first one and no, the first one was not boring as hell. Well, actually hell might be really exciting, so it could be boring as hell. I loved the first and # 2 looks to be one of the best games this year.

[beerguy961]

When I was in Japan, the 7-11 had a huge wall of PS2 games behind the counter. It was pretty odd looking to me...

[crickett003]

lol...
I love 7-11!

I grew up in Colorado Springs & I was in there all day playing Ikari Warriors & Commando gettin all "hopped" up on slurpees!! :lol:

The petrol/gas station?

No way! Where?

[daikaiju]

I have one like 100 yards from my house - If I had a digital camera, I'd take a pic for RF!

This reminds me of a weird dream I had a few months ago. I walked into a 7-11 and they were selling Gamecube games - all the games were in one of the refridgerated cases. :lol:

[Murcielago77]

seems interesting

[xspeedracerx]

WOW! Thats one great song. Slurp, slurp.

[Wshakspear]

lol...i forgot about that background music...scarily catchy.

and cold cube games? sound delicious!!!

[cag1000]

anyone doin that free halo tshirt thing
gotta buy 10 MD 20 oz or 2 litters
sounds like about a 10 dolla shirt with some free liquid teeth rottin goodness??

[roguejedi5]

The cups look pretty good. I wonder how limited those t-shirts really are?

[evilpenguin9000]

If I had an actual 7-11 within 30 miles of me I might consider getting involved with that deal.
