Retailers across the country will open at midnight to sell copies of Halo: Reach for the Xbox 360 when Microsoft launches the game on Tuesday.
According to a Microsoft press release, the company has two major late-night launch parties planned. East coast Halo fans can visit Best Buy in Times Square for a major blowout that will include hands-on time with the game, prizes and a surprise musical performance.
A second launch party is planned for Seattle. Those visiting the event at the Experience Music Project will get to rub elbows with game designers from Bungie and 343 Industries.
Everyone else can expect at least one of their local retailers to open late Monday night to sell copies of the game. Check your preferred retailer's website for details, and be sure to call ahead – if you don't have a pre-ordered copy you might get turned away.
Halo: Reach is the fifth game in a long-running series of science fiction shooters for the Xbox platform.
