That's a big gap. Damn EU release dates...

So what, you knew, why make a thread about it.

  • 06.04.2009 4:07 PM PDT

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

That's odd, I thought Joe said that the September 22nd release date was worldwide.

He's telling the rest of us.

Thanks for this, I was wondering where to preorder ODST. Kinda sucks there's an 8 day gap though.

Infact there are also other people who live in the UK who may have not been informed of the ODST's predicted release date, and I am one of them, afterall your not the only person on these forums!

Well not too much longer than the gap we were in North America had to wait for Halo Wars.

i still have no idea why they release the game on different dates, somewhat insulting to large fan bases.

i mustt stress i use "Apparently" as i am only going from what i was atold by a friend who works at GAME. It's a reliable enough source, but he still may be wrong.

Either way, Pre-Order to make sure you get it

  • 06.04.2009 4:11 PM PDT

I am prepared for SOME explosions, thanks to EOD.

Damn it!

I forgot when it is released in America.

GAME it is I'm getting it from then.

Sucks that we get it effing late again. I'm tired of all these delays, first it's Halo 3 late for us, then it's Halo Wars late for the Americans, then Halo 3 ODST late for us. Why can't we all just get games on the same date?! Other companies manage it perfectly!

i know, some companies manage to do it! Why can't they all?

and for the guy asking, it will be released in the US on September 22nd

Ah well, it's no biggie. The only downside is if we hear any spoilers from those who already have it.

  • 06.05.2009 5:20 AM PDT

THT SUCKS! oh well. Does PLAY.COM do the sgt. Johnson deal as well?

  • 06.05.2009 5:21 AM PDT

Whisper Game Studios - shhhh, it's a public secret.

The only confirmed date has been 22nd September for the US.

Xbox UK hasn't any confirmed release dates yet, but I imagine that it will be around the same time.

I wouldn't trust the retail stores like Game to know that before the game's publisher.

Exactly, which is why i will be taking a week or so off Xbox and Bungie.net at the time of it's release, just in case someone spoils it for me.

I don't know if PLAY.com will have the Johnson Code, so far i assume only GAME will have it as they are run under the same company as Gamestop in the US.

SonicJohn, good point. We'll have to wait for the Official Xbox UK word to make certain. If anyone finds out when before me, post it in this thread

It's £12 cheaper on pre-order from amazon

It says the 22nd of September on Amazon.o.uk, Game.co.uk and Gamestation.co.uk

The only question is will it come with the Sgt. Johnson token?
When i pre-ordered halo wars from amazon, it didn't come with the flaming warthog, while copies of the game game.co.uk and gamestation did.

I'm really hoping it's not an 8 day gap, I hate getting games later than the US.

  • 06.05.2009 5:33 AM PDT

I have not been able to 100% confirm yet, but I was told that Asda will have it as well as part of Wal mart, that will have it!

And the Date is 22nd or 25th, It has not been said yet, but it will be one of these!

The GAME website says the 22nd, although there is no pre-order for Limited Edition.
Strangely, they also have Reach on there for £49.99

I work for gamestation and our date for ODST is 22/09/09 with the collectors edition so only 109 days left


why can't we pre-order the collectors edition online?

  • 06.05.2009 7:33 AM PDT

I was in blockbuster, and the guy said it came out on the 25th.
He didn't really seem to know much though, and I doubt he spends as much time on the forums as I do =)
