Ok... so is this a typo, or is CompUSA cashing in on all the breathless Halo2 hype? I happened to be surfing http://www.compusa.com tonight and saw that price. I did a double-take before realizing that it was a data entry error (11/09/04 was the Halo2 release date). Oops

Speaking of Halo2 -- well, I can't speak of it because I don't yet have it. I'm hot-and-cold when it comes to video games. Sometimes I'm into it, other times I go weeks or months without playing much.

I did get two-thirds of the way through the first Halo before I got sidetracked by work, the soccer season, Madden and FIFA 2005, and so on.

So I made a decision to NOT buy Halo2 until I finished the campaign in the first Halo. I did that this afternoon and wished I'd done it sooner... that final challenge in the final chapter (destroying the core and the Warthog "joyride") were so intense! It was a lot of fun (and it took me a while before I could make it through).

So now I can go get Halo2, get my butt kicked online, and enjoy all the cool multiplayer/online stuff they've added.
