I preordered my copy of Gears of War today at a non-local GameStop by my office today. Never preordered before, not even for Halo 2. Hell, I haven't been this excited by a game SINCE Halo 2. I was at a customer's facility on the other side of LA when that one came out and took time off from the job to run up to Best Buy. Had my copy by 10:30am.

So today, I get back to the my lab and I am walking on air. Super stoked, be able to take an early break to go pick it up, play all night and maybe call in sick on Thursday. Then I realize my folly:

I'll be at the SAME customer on the other side of Los Angeles on launch day, 40 miles from my pre-purchased, waiting in its nice shiny tin box, brand spanking new copy of GoW. Crappitycrapcrap.

Should've ordered through CodeMonkey.

Dude I've got you beat six ways to Sunday. I'm going to be in Marbach, GERMANY on launch day. I figure that's about 6,000 miles away from my home. 40 miles, shoot I'd WALK that. Hehhe. At least you'll be playing before me, I won't get home until the Nov 15th! On the plus side, only 4 days after that I pick up my Wii! (That still sounds so sad)
