It will be sold out. And people will be waiting there. You should have pre-ordered.

In what could possibly be one of the most unique marketing ideas in a while, big bad box store Wal-Mart will have dedicated check-out lines for the release of the much anticipated Xbox 360 Game, Halo 3. This is rather unique in that most Wal-Mart stores are open 24 hours and they have agreed to sell the game at midnight.
Click the image to open in full size.
If you talk to any hardcore gamer who’s into these sorts of games, they will tell you that they have probably already pre-ordered it. Some will even stand in lines the day / night of the sale, just to get the game before others do. With Wal-Mart advertising checkout lines just for the sale of this game, it could lead to more people skipping the traditional gamer stores and hitting up the big box giant, not only boosting Wal-Mart sales but could prove to be a nail in the coffin of the smaller mall based game stores like GameStop. Take a look at this 3 page forum post where most are agreeing that they would rather go to Wal-Mart and get fast checkout then deal with their local game store.

...you were saying

......This is good...in theory

The more people that go to Walmart means the longer the lines are going to be...regardless

Who's going to be buying anything other than Halo3 at midnight? AKA Gamestop is going to have their own "H3 line" or whatever because nobody is going to be buying anything other than H3....you're going to be waiting no matter where you go

I only have to wait in line for an hour because of my standing on the order list.

So if you didn't pre-order.......you're really too stupid to deserver a copy anyhow.

As of right now, a flashed 360 is a modded 360.

Modded = modified, and a flashed 360 is after all modified......

I didn't pre order and I really could care less about Halo 3. I will pick it up after it comes out because it will be overstocked like halo 2.
