Halo: Reach Pre-Orders Pass 2 Million Worldwide
It was never in doubt that Halo: Reach would be one of the biggest games of the year, but with the release of the game now less than a week away, Bungie brings you the latest pre-order figures and week one predictions.
Anybody who has been following our Americas Pre-Orders charts will have seen that total pre-orders in the Americas (USA, Canada, Latin America) has now surpassed 1.6 million units and that the pre-order pattern for Halo: Reach to date has been very similar to that of the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 released last year as shown in the comparison graph below:

| Halo Reach Will Surpass COD In The Long Run |
Halo Reach VS CoDMW2
Outside of the Americas, total pre-orders to date have surpassed 500,000 units with nearly half of that coming from the United Kingdom. We expect total pre-orders to hit just over 2.5 million units prior to launch, suggesting a day one of around 3 million units and a week one of around 4.25 million units (using pre-order to week one ratios for similar titles). To see how this compares with other recent mega-hits see the table below:
 |
| Halo Reach Retail $59.99 [Free shipping] |
 |
| Halo Reach Limited Edition Retail $79.99 |
 |
| Halo Reach Legendary Edition Retail $149.99 |
 |
| Halo Reach Controller Retail $ 39.99 |
VGChartz expects Halo: Reach to perform very similarly to the Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 in the Americas, but going by historical trends and Reach pre-orders to date, sales in EMEAA (Europe, Middle-East, Africa and Asia) will only represent around 30% of the Americas sales compared to 50% for a typical Call of Duty title on Xbox 360 - hence why worldwide totals are predicted to fall short of Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360. That said, we do expect Reach to perform around 10% higher than Halo 3 did in the first week and become the fastest-selling Halo title of all time.So, where is the best place to preorder Halo reach? Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, Or Target? There are two types of offers being handed out to people preordering Halo Reach: Gift Cards or Exclusive Multi- Threat Armor. If you preorder Halo Reach at Best Buy Or Amazon you receive a complimentary $20.00 dollar gift card or credit with your purchase. This seems like the best deal to me and I already consigned on ordering it Online from Amazon. At Gamestop you receive elusive Multi-threat armor which is attractive to you hardcore gamers who want to get the jump on all of your friends. But, for us meagerly gamers inclined toward a free $20.00 dollar gift card, then Amazon or Best Buy is the best way to go.
Halo: Reach releases on September 14th exclusively for Xbox 360. Be sure to check back after launch where I will reveal our estimates for week one figures.
Halo Reach is going to be
Available In 4 Days!!!Yes, that's right so I'm going to tell you when you should pre-order yours, if you haven't. Where to pre-order Halo Reach. And What each exclusive package contains and the prices of each. So Halo fans, This is what you should do to get ready for Halo Reach:
- Stop Playing Halo 3! By continuing to play Halo 3 you are only wasting your time and ours by not finding out more about Halo Reach and how to pre-order it. Forget about every strategy or maneuver in Halo 3. In Halo Reach, there are completely different controls and the ninja and other BR tactics are none existent. So, MLG players. Get ready to transition to other objectives like stockpile, invasion, generator defense, headhunter, or CTF. That's right, the DMR is a single shot weapon and is fair to all people for mastering it, so no more getting four-shotted by a MLG player continuously. The DMR can kill an opponent via a four-shot but it can't shoot nearly as fast as the BR in Halo 3. No MLG, only cool objective games in Halo Reach.
- Pre-order You Copy of Halo Reach NOW because the fastest, cheapest way to get your copy is online via Microsoft Store: [automatic elite premium armor when ordering from Microsoft online]

9. Buy a sleeker, More Halo Reach Friendly Xbox 360:

http://astore.amazon.com/haloreach-beta-updates-preorders-2010. Clean- Out, redesign, and upgrade your Gaming Room:
That's right. Take out the vacuum cleaner and wipe off your console, controllers, and TV. The best prevention from your Xbox 360 form retaining the Three Rings of Death is to always keep your gaming environment as cool, and clean as possible [trust me, I figured it out the hard way].This means dusting your room and clearing it all form lint, dust, and floating debris that can harm the function of your Xbox 360, and ultimately mark the terminal end of your gaming. Always, keep your Xbox 360 off your rug, because debris can just openly float right inside those crevices in your Xbox 360 Shell and cause you big problems in the future. Is it worth it to ya to have a cleaner, better smelling, overall flattering gaming experience just for a hour a month to clean-up your gaming room? I mean, really all it takes is putting the Xbox 360 on top of a table or placing it in a self-cooling fan stand [bought one after my 1st Xbox 360 my old one lapsed terminal due to overheating] . Better yet, save yourself the chores and just buy a fan stand for your Xbox 360, trust me: well worth the investment:

11.Save Some Money:
We all know gaming can be an expensive hobby but we all have to have our cigarettes[ That's not a pun, I'm comparing the addict level of gaming to smoking]!!So, cancel that Netflix membership of 10 dollars per month and switch to buying from your local Redbox where all DVD's are only one dollar.The point is, you don't want to miss your car payment just because you purchased Halo Reach, so find the best deals[ Amazon.com] and forget all of the rest. The main thing you should be worried about is not breaking the bank not if you purchase recon armor for 150 dollars!! So go, on order your Halo Reach Copy smartly from Amazon While There Still Available
