Ok so above was the official participating retailers posted by Bungie for aquiring Sgt. Johnson... But where is Canada on that list?

I want to play the man himself in firefight... but ya I can't seem to grasp how somewhere like Germany is mentioned on that list, but not Canada...

So does anyone:
- Know for a FACT that a Canadian retailer will be participating (like Bestbuy, or Wal-mart)
or
- Think that by "U.S.: Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, and Wal-Mart" they mean all of North America?


Any help would be much appreciated =)

"Your an idiot." - Oh, the irony...

They put New Zealand up before they put Canada up. Seriously...

I'm not Canadian, but I think so. Johnson rules!

  • 07.26.2009 2:55 PM PDT

Thanks for the replies guys. And yes I know, I found it incredibly odd how these small eastern countries like New Zealand are getting mention before Canada...

If any others could put in they're word and vote that would be most helpful.

Yes, I am pretty sure you can get him at one of the stores.

Aperture Science. We do what we must, because, we can. For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead. But there's no sense crying over every mistake, you just keep on trying, 'till you run out of cake, and the science gets done, and you make a neat gun, for the people who are Still Alive!

Still Alive...

I asked around at my local Movie Gallery (blackfalds, alberta) and the Store Manager, who happens to be my friends mom, told me directly that there WILL be a johnson Pre-Order Bonus there.

Well I noticed that Amazon.ca only has the Strategy guide up. EBgames Canada has the Johnson code, I would assume if you email bestbuy and/or Futureshop that they would have them. I am not interested in that, it's really not that much and worth it IMO. I'd rather play as an ODST.

  • 07.26.2009 4:48 PM PDT

Thanks guys for the further input.
Thank you Kazooie5659 for a confirmation from at least that particular store.

And yes 'runer I agree that the ODST are cooler, however I intened to pre-order the game anyways, and since I am - I want the most bang for my buck. Plus it will be cool to occasionally play as the badass Sgt.

If any further answers/help could be provided it would be much appreciated.

What's wrong with New Zealand?

Anyways I'm assuming since Canada is so close, and both countries have EB Games, I'd guess that you could pre-order it and get Johnson.

Yes. I live in BC and I can confirm that you can pick up Johnson at EB Games. That's where I'm getting mine. They said they'd have the cards in 1 or 2 months before release. That was back in June. So I'd pre-order now and go in during late August/early September and pick up the download card. Just bring a reciept proof of pre-order like you would when picking up the game (if you've already paid it off like I have).

I don't think so. My local EB Games never participates in offers, anyways. It does not really matter to me much, anyways.

I don't think he was trying to say that something was "wrong" with New Zealand.
The point he was trying to make (or at least the point I was trying to make by mentioning Germany) is that Bungie is a US company and it's mentioning all these non-North American countries, and DIDN'T even mention one of it's closest neighbors and business partners: Canada.

Nothing against any other countries, just making a point.

Thanks for the good tip Darth Kooky. I may do just that, or pre-order once the Johnson cards are in.

Thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated.

But still wondering if anyone can confirm if other Canadian retailers such as Bestbuy will carry the Johnson pre-order.

  • 07.27.2009 6:29 PM PDT

EB games has it...

Thanks for another confirmation on EB Games.

Anyone know of any other locations? So far it seems that just EB will have it... Which isn't bad, but would like to know all possible options.
