"Halo" madness starts in New York City at a marquee launch event at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. Fans who attend will have the opportunity to be among the first to play Halo: Reach before it goes on sale just after midnight on September 14, win special "Halo"-themed prizes, meet the creators of the "Halo" universe and experience a surprise musical performance.
West coast "Halo" fans will also have the opportunity to celebrate the arrival of Halo: Reach on Sept. 13 at the Experience Music Project | Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle. Developers from Bungie and 343 Industries will greet fans and join the countdown to launch, while attendees can play Halo: Reach early and compete in tournaments to win coveted "Halo" prizes.
In addition to marquee events in New York and Seattle, thousands of retailers from coast to coast are hosting their own midnight madness celebrations, where fans can be among the first to bring home their copies of the game. Fans are encouraged to check with their local retailers for specifics, including Best Buy, GameStop, Wal-Mart, Toys"R"Us and many other retailers.
