What Games Are You Getting During The 2 Weeks 10/27-11/9
This may be the most intense two week period in gaming history. Scratch that-- it definately is. I'm curious to see what everyone is planning on getting (and if anyone is holding anything off for a Christmas gift)
For me, this period will include:
GTA San Andreas
Ratchet and Clank : Up Your Arsinal
Jak 3
Killzone
DOA Ultimate
..and that's me exercising restraint!
(I'd allso like to pick up ATV Offroad Fury 3, Ace Combat 5 and Tron 2.0 during that period, but will have to pass for now).
What's on your list on the two weeks from financial hell?

Just GTA for me, how do you have enough time to play that many games?
These next few weeks will be wallet hell for me. GTA -> Halo2 -> Half Life 2.
edit: I think Halo2 comes out Nov 9, so I'll be getting that also.

What's the rush? You won't have time to play all those games during a two-week period anyway.
Answering the question: Halo 2 is on pre-order, but I imagine it'll arrive well after 11/9 (mtv.com deal).

I'm not sure if I will actually get these within their release week or not, or try and wait for a sale, etc., but the ones I am looking at are:
Halo 2
Mario Power Tennis
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3
A couple of the NES Classics series 2
Some games I am interested in but don't know if I'll ever get (ATV 3) and some I will definately wait for more time and a price drop (Jak 3, Ratchet & Clank, Bard's Tale).
For a few weeks after these two I will most likely be picking some titles up right away as well, such as Metroid Prime 2, and will play the waiting game on others.

The problem is I don't need all these games ASAP, but that's when you get the good prices on them.

San Andreas and Halo 2 for me.
Everything else can wait for a price drop.

Not sure if this counts, but Nov. 8th I plan to start camping outside my loval game store. I'll be there till the 17th, but it will give me the chance to hang out with all the Halo junkies for a night.

I was just joking anyway. It was my way of saying I'm passing on GTA and Halo2 for now in favor of Echos.

Edit: Couldn't wait, got GTA: SA today at Best Buy, along with Ratchet and Clank 2 for an extra $5.
I'm sure there'll be changes at release, but for me at least it's not nearly as addictive as the first one was (which is a good thing--I never need a game that addictive again!)
