As I write this, many of gamers wait in anticipation. They are a collective of thumb-twiddling enthusiasts who want nothing more than midnight tonight. Heck, many gamers may be experiencing the last bits of summer sunshine standing in line outside of any assortment of stores at this very moment.

At midnight tonight, Halo 3 will be hitting store shelves and many stores are having midnight launch parties for the occasion. Halo 2 sold 2.4 million copies on its launch day, and Halo 3 may even surpass it. The launch of a new Halo title is so big here in the states that even 711 convience stores will be carrying it.

For you Crestview locals, Game Zone, which is connected to the Movie Gallery, will be opening its doors tonight. Wish me luck on securing my copy.
