Never thought of it that way. I just remember that in my area, which is
heavily populated, I missed the initial release of Halo 1 and had to wait
months to get it, even at a game specialty store.
But your probably right, Ms is will know to make a big surplus of the game.
I didn't mean to imply that just because you didn't preorder it, you
wouldn't get it. What I meant to say was that allot of people would rush to
the stores to buy it on opening day, so you might meet temporary shortages.
