Overview

There are no games in the top 20 to be in its final week before launch.  As a reminder the Pro data is back up, which means that I am taking requests again for games outside the top 20.

The top two games have 200,000 or more pre-orders, the same as last week, and the top eight has 100,000 or more pre-orders, up from seven last week. Two games added 20,000 or more, the same as last week and four added 10,000 or more, up from three last week.

At bestbuy you can preorder most of these games and get a $20 gift card when you pick them up!
get halo 4, borderlands 2, and black ops 2 and that is $60 in gift cards to spend.

While I would love it, it seems like a long shot, BO2 and Halo 4 should be a lot closer in the end than Reach and MW3 though :-)

Wow...Pokemon Black/White 2 is really flopping. It doesn't really have an American release so that might change once its announced.
