The Microsoft company store usually sells MS software titles, including Microsoft Game Studios Xbox titles, to employees. But usually after a two week -- at least -- delay from the commercial launch.
With this in mind, a couple of months ago I pre-ordered Halo 2 from EBGames. After all, two weeks was obviously far too long to wait to get Halo 2.
Then today, two things happened: the company store at work announced that they'll have copies of Halo 2 starting tomorrow morning, the first day of its release -- and EBGames sent me an email saying that they had shipped my order.
It would still seem like a simple choice (wait for the pre-order to arrive), save for one alarming detail: when I click on the 'order status' link, the UPS.com site tells me that the tracking number provided by EBGames.com isn't actually valid. This doesn't seem good. Maybe I'll just buy it tomorrow at the company store, just in case.
Can you tell that I am excited about this game?
