Victory Element Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 :excl: i am in tough jam right now and i really need help, so please bear with me and provide some assistance. Being the good halo fan that i am, i failed to pre order the halo 4 LE early enough. I requested it in september around the time of my birthday, but due to family issues, that didnt happen. I will not get into detail on that. But earlier this week, i went to Best Buy to place a last minute preorder, and i discovered that the pre orders had sold out. For 3 days now, i have searched the internet and made calls, looking for a place to get the LE, but it is sold out everywhere. I am only left with two options now... i can pre order the standard edition to get pre order skins, and purchase the season pass DLC or i can wait until the release date and check stores to see if they received any extra copies of the LE in their inventory either way, i learned my lesson not to wait so long, but i really need help with this decision. i know this community can help me make the right choice, so please leave a response 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 You could always pre-order off of Ebay...there a quite a few LE's listed on Ebay at the moment and from the listings it looks like they will ship as soon as they Launch on Nov. 6th. You may not get the game right away but you will still get the LE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hm...did you check all local retailers? Getting the LE is better than no LE at all just for a skin you can get later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 i've called local retailers (best buy, 2 targets, 2 gamestops, walmart) but theyre not sure if they will get any LEs in inventory. I will check Ebay when i get a chance like Tallgeese recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upton889 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 If you wanted to make a gamble I would go for one anywhere besides a video game store such as Gamestop, EB Games, etc. Where I'm from I don't expect a lot of people going to Walmart for Halo 4 and a friend of mine will go to Walmart on release night to get a copy. They usually have some but don't hold me to that. You may be in a completely different situation with expectations for game sales at places like Walmart, Target, etc. If you don't want to gamble and willing to wait a little while, I second Tallgeese's suggestion and pre order from Ebay.

Stealth Pilot Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I just went to bestbuy and the lady suggested going to the midnight release. I would go but idk if my mom will let me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go but idk if my mom will let me. if a store obtained any extra copies, then i would have to snag it quick. Maybe go out at midnight to best buy, and have my dad go to gamestop as a failsafe. But no guaruntees for either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure when though as I have never been to one of these before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure when though as I have never been to one of these before. i dont think there will be a huge wait. And i assume it will only be those who are picking up pre orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWombat Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 i dont think there will be a huge wait. And i assume it will only be those who are picking up pre orders I guess you could ask how many preorders they have to see if you need to go early or not.

Victory Element Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I guess you could ask how many preorders they have to see if you need to go early or not. i could try that. I plan on calling each store the night before release to see if they received any extra copies in their inventory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry0G3n1c Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I recommend Ebay as well cause i know people are bound to buy the game then sell it for a higher price. but be careful of overpriced sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well when reach came out I was there at 10, and I was in the middle o the line, I am going to show up this year between 8 and 9 to hopefully be near te frot of the line. Midnight Launch of Halo is always big, i would expect a big line anywhere you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just get the standard. Most everything else will be available to you outside of LE. The skin and helmet or w/e doesn't even seem worth it to me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker8765 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 If you really were set on getting the limited edition you could pre-order it from Amazon UK. They definitely have copies left as I just pre-ordered mine today from them, though I'm not to sure how much it would be to buy it and ship it to the US as I live in Australia.
