Halo 2 Launch Party in Times Square

Posted by Zonk on from the who-can-pass-up-midnight-madness? dept.

Thanks to TeamXbox for the news that the Times Square Toys R' Us is going to be hosting a Halo 2 Launch Party. The event is set to start at midnight on Tuesday, November 9th. The enormous store will be hosting special guests "and prizes will be awarded for gamers showing off their Halo 2 enthusiasm." To those of you about to dress up as Master Chief, I salute you.

    They make is almost sound like other stores won't be doing the same thing, which is not true. If you've ordered a copy of Halo 2 from EB, you can check this link to see if your store will be doing a midnight opening too, which it most likely is. Other stores like Gamestop will be doing the same thing.

    Sure, the launch party is just a month away, but the leak party is being held right now on usenet and bittorrent.
