I've got a pre-order on Halo 4 and the advertised release date is November 6. Today I realised that November 6 is a public holiday, so not entirely sure what the go will be..

I'll have to check in with my local store at some point. Usually they do a midnight launch for the big blockbuster titles which could be cool in this case if i don't have to get up early for work that day.

If i can get it midnight that is probably circa mid monday morning in 005 time.

I assume the stores will probably be open since not every business observes the 'day off' and generally take a half day.
