The line starts here.

As mentioned previously, Gamer’s Hideout has organized a special midnight release event to mark the launch of Halo: Reach earlier today. Just like their previous midnight release event, throngs of gamers came down to their outlet at Tropicana City Mall, Petaling Jaya eager to get their hands on the new game.

You can tell that these guys are veterans, since they brought along stuff to entertain themselves while waiting for Halo: Reach.

Jason of Gamer’s Hideout showed off the Halo: Reach t-shirt, given to each pre-order customers.

My mind was blown when I saw Master Chief hand-delivered the lucky draw prize for that night – a Halo: Reach Legendary Edition.

Jason took them Halo: Reach Legendary Edition for safe keeping until the time for lucky draw comes.

Hands-up! Its not yet time to buy!

The highlight of Halo:Reach Legendary Edition – the Noble Team statue, made by McFarlane Toys.

Jeannie Mak was the first recipient of the game and was rewarded with extra swags for her dedication – she waited in the line since 6:30pm. Hardcore, weh!

The line was still pretty long (by Malaysian standard) even at 1:00am.

Noble 6 joined Master Chief somewhere along the way.

How does it feel to play yourself in a video game?

Hey hey, its lucky draw time!

Master Chief was given the honor to pick up the lucky winner. So, the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition went to…

Chris Hughes! Congrats, good sir!

There you go; yet another successful midnight launch by Gamer’s Hideout. I can’t wait to get my hands on the game itself sometime soon. Meanwhile, I wonder how many people actually took a leave of absent today…it’s ok, I will not tell your boss or superiors.
