Lines already forming for Halo 3… maybe…
Halo 3 will be released at 12:01am on Tuesday, September 25th, 2007. Odds are you will see many hundreds of people lined up at your local EBGameStop, Best Buy, Circuit City, or 7-11 hours in advance. Unless you plan on going to the Metreon in San Francisco, in which case you may already be in line.
That’s right, ladies and dudes — there are people already lining up outside the Metreon in anticipation of being the first to get their hands on Halo 3. I hope they brought a lot of tacos, and batteries for their Game Boy, because they’re going to be waiting thirteen days. That’s 312 hours. That’s 18,720 minutes. That’s 1,123,200 seconds.
…that’s a really long ass time!
Now, while I am most impressed with their fanaticism to be the FIRST to get their grubby little hands on Halo 3, in the end it is a futile effort. After all, they live on the pacific coast, three hours behind us sophisticated East Coast folk, but I digress.
UPDATO MAGNIFICO!
You guys… I blew the image up in Photoshop, and it looks like it’s from the damn Pontiac IMAX showing! So, to those people who went to the IMAX showing that I inadvertently insulted… my bad.
[Thanks to Brad, Emily, "capthaize" (pot much?) and Paul Foley for sending me this image... repeatedly... could I get a source link?]
Microsoft, Xbox 360, Metreon, San Francisco, Bungie, Halo 3

Mmmmm…. tacos. I need to go get some tacos right now. But I digress. I love Halo, but there’s no way in hell I would wait in line for 13 days just to be the first one to play it. I printed a life-size poster a few years back and that’s a far as my fandom goes (thankfully my boss at the time understood my love for the game).

I’ve got to point out that it used to be the Sony Metreon. Make of that what you will… which is probably nothing.
