Halo 3 available for preorders, retailers laugh all the way to bank
Not content with all the money they've raked in selling you Xbox 360 consoles they didn't have to sell, some major game retailers have begun taking preorders for the upcoming mega-hit Halo 3. Keep in mind that speculation, aided by some info from Bill G. himself, has the title launching concurrently with the North American release of the PlayStation 3. Apparently all they need to take your money is an idea of when a title is going to be released. Then again, Gamstop had Halo 3 available for preorder over six months ago!
If you think you need to pay $60 (especially when first-party 360 games have been retailing for $50) ten months ahead of time to secure yourself a copy, you're either stupid or insane. This isn't hardware; there will be plenty of copies to go around. Please don't simply hand your cash over to these companies to invest as they please while you get nothing in return. We all know their promise isn't worth much.
