GameStop has announced that it will host "Finish the Fight" midnight events on Monday, September 24, 2007, at over 3,700 of its U.S. GameStop and EB Games stores for the launch of HALO 3 by Microsoft. The events mark one of the biggest entertainment launches of 2007 and will include Halo trivia contests and Halo 2 challenges that will lead up to the first sale of the game at 12:01a.m. Halo fans can also check out GameStop's "Halo Store" featuring over two dozen licensed accessories including Wireless Spartan Controllers, T-Shirts and scaled replicas.

Most participating GameStop and EB Games locations will begin their countdown to launch at 9:00 p.m. local time; however, customers are encouraged to contact their local store to confirm the exact time of the event.
