Couldn't the game selling company get sued for doing that?

In a way you are publically broadcasting an easy million dollars for Bungie, and the end of a company.
Well Bungie should thank me ;]

Isn't that a little bit illegal?


yes it is...

  • 07.17.2009 3:54 PM PDT

all stores need to go to the system that my retail store has...if you try to sell a game before release date it will say "Release Date not yet reached please put in back until specified date"....and will not allow you to sell it...

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

In my town, the nearest Gamer Crazy informed me that I will be able to pick up Halo 3: ODST September 18th and so does the rest of the town. So I told him, "You do know Halo 3: ODST comes out on the 22nd of September?" he said "Yes, but we are getting an early shipment, and we're putting it on stock on the 18th." So if this is true, I will be playing Halo 3: ODST four days before anyone else.

EDIT: I will NOT post up any spoilers when I play it, but I will tell you how the campaign is and which firefight map is the best.

Well you realize that just by posting this, you've put your local "Game Crazy" at risk of losing the shipment of ODST games. If any official from Microsoft or anyone who has links to Microsoft can cancel their shipment due to early release. That's what happened when SSBB came out. My friends kept bragging around that they were going to release the game a day early on some forums and somehow Nintendo inside men found out and their shipment got shut down and so many people had to get their money back it's not even funny. They've always been stupid. They said they did it because our local Wal-Mart was going to do it so they were going to too.

Seriously, I could pick up the phone right now and get a way over to Microsoft (probably not internally) support and mention that your local store plans on releasing the game early. Or I could just file a complaint. Either way, they have to take every complaint seriously, they'll do investigating and eventually cancel the shipment. And to above posters, no they won't get shut down, the shipment will just be canceled, they have no reason to completely shut down the establishment because of one early release.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

I wouldn't have posted this.. Someone may see this, tell someone, then eventually MS could find out, and brutally murder everyone at that store.

I am so sorely tempted to send an email to someone at Microsoft right now or even call Xbox Support and tell them.

Yup

IB. The bane of my existence.

Cool story bro. I doubt it though because the GameStop had Halo Wars listed for about 2 weeks before the actual release. Needless to say they didn't have it the day that they said they would.

  • 07.17.2009 5:23 PM PDT

To bad you wont get the collectors edition. And I dont think game crazy will do that. I worked for them and they r way to scared to do something like that

  • 07.17.2009 5:24 PM PDT

"so let us cast our arms aside and thus discard our wrath,
Thou in faith, shall keep us safe whilst we find the path"

this is bull-blam!- i work in a major UK chain retail store (Argos) and there are big No No's bout selling a game, book or pair of curtains before the supplier gives the go-ahead we can't even buy one ourselves because the tills wont allow it due to the damage it can do to the company (Not to mention the illegality of it) the only people who might get it early are people like me who preorder online and the company ships it early so as to avoid customer dissatisfaction when their mates get it before them due to the lousy postal system. You are talking out of your arse my friend

Sorry dude, the guy was lying. Stores cannot do this. It is ILLEGAL. Nice try though ;)

It's technically illegal. Microsoft has fixed dates that retailers must abide to despite when the shipment arrives. You could cost somebody's job by pulling off a stunt like that and (or) get banned from XBL. Then again, it's not my problem :P
