Where Will You Be Picking Up Halo: Reach?

Halo: Reach is only 3 days away. Where will you be picking up your copy? We have done all the research and from what we can tell everywhere is selling the editions for the same price-points, being…

Regular Edition:$59.99

Limited Edition: $79.99

Legendary Edition: $149.99

Xbox 360 Halo: Reach Edition: $399.99

Some of you who bought the Legendary edition of Halo 3 will probably note that after they purchased it, you could still find it everywhere for months after. This may not be the case this time as the helmets of the last Legendary edition were made in a factory in mass production where as these statues that the new Legendary edition were hand crafted and will be in a higher demand.We have compiled a list of places in and around the GTA that will be open at midnight and what special offers they will be offering.

All Future Shop stores will be opening their doors at 12:01 am on the 14th. Special offers (According to their most recent flyer) state that the first 20 people in line will receive a wireless headset and a copy of Halo: Legends on DVD.

Select Best Buy stores will be open at midnight for a launch party with lots of special giveaways. The Bay and Dundas location will be having an event starting at 9pm until 12am where you will be able to play the game and possibly win a Halo Reach Xbox 360. Some other perks are the First 120 people in line will receive a t-shirt, the first 300 will receive an inflatable energy sword and if you pre-ordered you will get a UNSC cap.
