Halo 2....
It seems this game has already started to ship. On www.vgtalk.com, Damion said that he ordered it on the internet, but it started shipping last night. When he ordered it, he got 2 day shipping, so he should get it tomorrow. Another poster named Dios said that he already got his copy from a retailer and posted a picture of the box opened and the disk in his xbox. Might wanna check the retailers if anyone is interested in getting the game 3 to 4 days early.
