- There's no "I" in team.
- Yeah, but there's no "U" either. So if I'm not on the team, and you're not on the team... No one's on the god damned team!

Well after E3 i noticed that ODST was in Amazon.co.uk for pre order, and i thought i would hold out to see what pre order bonuses there would be. I discovered Sgt. Johnson would be unlocked, so i checked again. Still no word of it. Then when i saw the recent Weekly Update and saw Amazon on the list i checked again, and it still doesn't have the notice that the US Amazon does, which most likely means that it won't be there.

So i got to talking with other people, and i just can't understand how people continually forget that a large portion of their customers don't actually live in the US. This happened with Halo Wars as well, not to mention many other games.

So this is my plea, Bungie, don't make the same mistake that many other people have done. Give Amazon.co.uk the pre order bonus, because i for one am sick of being discriminated so.

what I don't understand is why do they make different copies for the UK and USA?
We speak (roughly) the same language.

IT ISN'T UP TO BUNGIE

please stop complaining about this. Just because its has been announced that certain American retailers will have a code for johnson, does NOT mean that other retailers will not have the code. Be PATIENT. It may be announced next week because there are still legal things to sort out.

And even if every other continent in the world doesn't get the code, it won't kill you. Life will go on and everyone will eventually forget about it.

Let's be honest, does have johnson for firefight only really affect whether or not you'll end up purchasing the game? If so, just leave the boards now. Life isn't always fair. Suck it up.

Because then everbody in the UK would buy their games from the US, which would damage the British economy and force game prices down which would be bad for developers and publishers.

Yeh exactly, it's not up to someone who is from the country getting things to tell us how to feel. It's like telling africans to go suck it up because they don't have any food or water. And I know a portion of us don't give one. But because America are the only ones getting the code, all I'm gonna hear now is "Omg you freiking peice of Tea drinking/french/aussie biatch how do you like my Johnson you noob. Ge- a life you s-upid bri-s!"

Yeh.
