Well im an American. i love my country and support it with every last fiber of my soul. i have paid 60$ and pre ordered my copy of halo 3 ODST. i have heard recently that the Johnson code will only be shipped to Canada, the U.S., and the U.K.
why is this? if people in Ireland and in Germany or Lichtenstein pay 60$ to get ODST why should they be deprived of the most badass marine ever? i have a couple of theories and solutions to those theories.
****i now see that its available to Germany, Italy, and France***
Theory 1:
the code for Johnson (like the mythic map pack codes) will come in the form of a card with a code on it. like any other pre paid code. and like the mythic code it will be in short supply.
Theory 2:
it may be too expensive to ship all those codes. what with all the legendary editions and stuff. maybe they just want to keep it simple.
Theory 3:
there would be too many cities to ship to. they couldn't keep up.
solution 1:
its cardboard and ink. can you not afford 50c more every ODST game? thats the cost to make one of those. 50c. why cant they do that. were already paying 60$ for this. why not 60$ and 50c?
soulution 2:
Microsoft and bungie are multi million dolor corporations. i think they can afford to ship them to a couple of hundred cities more.
solution 3:
major cities...thats it. just ship the codes to major cities. like capitals. hey i would drive all the way from California to DC to get ODST. i would. and you know other people would to.
