I live in Orange County. I've had 3 separate preorder orders. All came on release day.

But if this misses because of my late order, I'll be okay with it because I wasn't expecting to buy Halo 4 for awhile because of my backlog of games. But the reviews and videos looked so good that it tempted me.

I thought about driving to the Microsoft Store. I have 2 within 20 minutes of me. But then I thought that'd be 2 trips (1 to preorder, 1 to pickup) and the $5 I'd save would probably be wasted in gas and time.

How do you scan again in this king of the hill game? I did it once during a fight but cant do it anymore. I now just am sending out for supplies while holding this base. Is that all I can do?

Might hit up the MS store tonight, they're playing from 10-midnight, giving out prizes and giftcards and having pizza lol

I was thinking about doing the same at the local MS Store here as well. I'm all for free stuff.

I wanted to hit up the MS Store but it's a solid 125 mile round trip and that's a long drive home at 1 AM...I'll settle for a midnight pickup at Gamestop and 25 cent Dr Pepper wings at Sheetz.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, you can also get the bulletproof emblem from the Halo 4 KotH game on iOS/Android.

What's the Halo 4 KotH game? I don't see it on the Play store.

EDIT: Ah, nevermind, I found it. Didn't realize that it wasn't made by Microsoft.

Just got an email from NewEgg, their packaging and getting ready to ship within 24-48 hours, hopefully it will arrive by Friday-Saturday

this game is my first preorder from new egg.. how long do new games usually take to come? i ordered black ops 2 from them as well. I guess we arent getting release day delivery but I can wait a couple of days for the good price. good thing i have AC3 to hold me over.

I'm sure the game will ship out later today. With newegg 3 day shipping, I would imagine by Thursday most should have it. And yeah, saving $25 on the game is well worth the wait. Not like people will only be playing the game on release day lol.

My pre-order on Newegg was cancelled because I forgot to change my checking card info, ugh. I had originally gotten the $15 off deal.

I don't know if I should call them and see if I can get it back on track, or if I should just eat the $15 and pre-order at Best Buy, and then claim the $20 in reward certificates in 30-35 days.

Call them and see. I'm sure they will still honor the $15 off.

Would appreciate a locus helmet too if you have the time. The nearest 7-11 is like 300 miles away from me and those ebay prices for it are just ludicrous. No way in hell i'm dropping $50+ for it on there

My preorder from Newegg placed on 10/27 is now labeled as Shipped. Hopefully they shipped it out of their City of Industry location as I usually get things the next day from that location regardless of shipping speed.

Going to attempt to price match Fry's at BB today.

A print-out of the price in-cart at frys.com should be enough, right?

Nice. My order from Newegg shows shipped as well.

M$ store cancelled my LE preorder this morning WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF??????????

Woot, mine shipped out from their City of Industry location via UPS, looks like this will be sitting at my door when I get home from work tomorrow.

They say 30 days but you should get it quicker than that. And you can print it out or you can use the bby app on your phone.
