I intentionally arrived late at 12:20am to avoid a long line but when I got there this was the scene in Irvine CA. The line moved quickly and I was able to checkout by 1am but that was much later than I had originally expected. This was the line for people who pre-ordered but didn’t [...]

First image of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Throat Communicator by Madcatz. This is a pretty nice accessory depending on how well it works. It is modeled after the real communicators used by the U.S. Military.
