Ok, spent 45minuets walking to game in the puring rain, said to the guy:

"Hi m8, i'd like to pre-order Halo 2 for Xbox please"
"Yea cool, what i'll do is take your name and give you a recipt"
"Ok then"
"That's £3 please"
"It is?, I thought I pay the full amount and then pick it up"
"No, you just pay a deposit and then the rest on the day"
"Oh ok" *Hand over £20 to pay for three lowsey quid, i brung two twenties to buy the game*
*Also, what we are doing on the release date is, if we get more then 20 people to put their names and phone numbers down, we will open at 12am for people to pick up their early coppies. This will be on a Wednesday night, would you like to put your name down"
"Hell yea"
"Ok, if we get more then 20 people we will phone you to let you know if the store is going to be open"

"Ok thanks bye"




Long story short:
If I paid a £3 deposit, is that taken off the game when I buy it on release night?
So will the game be £29?
Or did I just hand over £3 to help make sure a copy will be there for me?


So when I buy it, do I pay £29 or do i now have to pay the full amount on top of the £3?


Thanks.

Yea, I thought about buying it, untill my dad said "Why", lol, exactly why i'm not getting it, because why do I need it.

At the end of the day I will only use the disk, and even that will sit inside my Xbox, so it doesn't matter what it looks like.

I think it was a bit cheeky of MS to make the Crystal Xbox un-limited after making loads of people buy it just because of that...

Whats the point in "special editions". Nothing is really special anymore because so many people buy them. They need to be extortionate prices for special editions, just to make them, well, a bit special.

or something like that,whatever

I have the special edition pre-ordered. Why have the tin ? Because I want to pet it. Stroke it. Love it.
