The Truth Points To Itself

The Spartan I Project

Death by Johnson...
1. Get lasered
2. Get pushed

To all the people asking about Sgt Johnson in the UK (and I agree it would be nice to hear from someone who knows the official word on this, and the definite release date over here - Game etc all saying 22nd, but word was Microsoft had said 30th, so fingers crossed Game and co. are correct).

Anyway, wrt Sgt Johnson codes, they will almost certainly be available over here, as with other exclusives such as the Flaming Warthog in Halo Wars. These tend to, over here, go to just 1 retailer, which in recent years has been either GAME or Gamestation (perverse now as they are the same company, but operate independently to avoid competition rules). On rare occassions both will get them. Typically, they take a franchise each (this is from someone I know who used to work for them). Gamestation had the Gears of War 2 exclusive thingy, so best guess is GAME will continue with the Halo exclusive.

However while that is an educated guess, it is still that. But since it costs nothing to pre-order the game from them (so long as you have one of their rewards cards), then no harm done (can always cancel the pre-order once you make sure you have a copy through the correct retailer once they reveal themselves.

Oh, and cool update, as ever.

I'm in Europe and preordered from Gamestop. Have I missed something? S:

Good update.


Aside from that fact that Gamestop is an American based company, and that shipping games outside of America probably costs alot, plus the fact that NTSC games don't work on a european Xbox 360 so buying from an American store is utterly pointless, then no, you haven't missed anything.

I love sarcasm, lol

Where can I Pre-order Halo 3:ODST in Europe?

Not everyone is from America urk.

  • 06.13.2009 5:08 AM PDT

For Scotland your big four choices for preordering (online at least) are:

GAME
Gamestation
Amazon.co.uk
Play.com

Failing that you can pop into your Bricks and Mortar stores on the high street, GAME and Gamestation are taking preorders over the counter, your local friendly independent video game store probably will as well. No word on which of these stores has the Sgt Johnson code but from past experience I would hazard a guess at GAME or Gamestation as being your best choice.

Lame...
Urk do me a favour and call up amazon, politely ask them to make Johnson availble on amazon.co.uk as well, because to be honest that sucks!

Do this for me and i will not go on a crazy killing spree around the Bungie and Amazon offices when i come over to the US next summer :)

Liverpool FC - You'll Never Walk Alone

I find it dissapointing that Bungie seems to of neglected it's huge fans in the UK & decided to not notify us of the retailers who will be letting us preorder Sgt Johnson, or they just arn't doing it over here.

Could you please help Bungie, seriously!

  • 06.13.2009 7:02 AM PDT

Ehh, I used to have a sig, then I stopped posting here for a long time and it sorta outdated itself, so know I'm stuck with this till I actually start posting again and comeup with something interesting to say.

Yeah, I'd love some news on where the UK stands in the Johnson pre-order bonus, and if it'll also be included in the LE (need a fourth controller, or so I keep telling myself).

But can't wait to play Firefight come September! (And any news of an official UK release date?)

Did anybody catch the part where the other destroyable cover is blown up and the other cover has a teardrop right below it's number?

In my opinion, that alone made this update.
