XBL Tuesday and Halo: Reach!

Post by erilar »

How many of you are picking up Reach on Tuesday?

I ordered via Amazon's release-day shipping, so hopefully my copy will arrive. I'm really looking forward to playing the campaign via co-op (it accommodates 4 players) with you cats!

Mine is coming as well... but don't count on playing with me much in the next few weeks. Too much to do for Nuke(m)con.

I won't be getting it for a little while probably. And I still have to get my xbox network port fixed.

But I AM excited for it!! :)

Depending on how my money holds out, I may buy it on Tuesday or Wednesday. If not then, then definitely when I get paid next week.

I likely won't get it until after Nuke(m)Con. I don't need the temptation to distract me from my writing duties. :)

Okay, let me know. I'll probably start playing by about 7pm tomorrow (assuming that Amazon gets it to me as planned). No problem re-starting the campaign either if you can't log on 'till later.

Picked up my copy of Reach this morning at Best Buy - got a $20 gift card, a Halo:Reach comic book, and a free can of Coke, too! :)

OK, hoss, hopefully I'll see ya on tonight for some co-op campaign! Does your work schedule fit w/ that?

I know that Heth and I will be going for an exercise walk (~30 mins), but those are my only plans.

I work until 8pm. So, time to get home and eat something, and then I'll probably be ready to join the fight. :)

$108 left. Dunno if I'll be able to buy it today...unless I start transferring money from my savings (must be a good boy...)

Looking further, all my checks cleared...hmmm....

My gas should last me until tomorrow (or perhaps thursday) before needing some more, and if I only put $15 in to last the weekend...

Well, we will be here next week, so don't put yourself in a bind. We'll be happy to fight alongside you if you decide to go for it though!

I'm going to have to hold off until next week. I looked it up and Bestbuy is charging $59.99 for it (I drive by it on the way home from work!). If it was only $50 I'd go for it, but I really shouldn't borrow from my savings (Seeing as I did so during vacation!), and Clare wants to eat out sometime this week...

But in the meantime, If I'm a seething ball of jealousy, don't mind me...
