"You're not that bad...I'm just that good!"

WTF!?!?!

1) You're not supposed to get any kind of code until the game launches on September 22nd
2) Why would you redeem a code for something you can use in a game THAT'S NOT EVEN ON THE MARKET YET!?!?

Either you're competely lieing or you just got screwed. Either way, i'd look into that. If they really did give you a "code" already, go get your money back and go somewhere else. They're a little crooked!

P.S. I pre-ordered from Gamestop like 2-3 months ago and i havn't received anything and i havn't at any time in the past with ANY game. Therefore: not true

If you did 'Redeem Code' i think you have to put the dashs if you didnt

Go to best buy and they have a ton of the pre order cases in stock with the code in them
** plus why would i lie about a code not working

He's not lying Best Buy is givin out the cards with preorders but you do have to wait for the game to launch. They won't put it on the marketplace until closer to 9/22. No worries, other people have said the same thing.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

He's not lying. He's just not that bright. The code wont work until it can be unlocked on the game. Since you don't have the game, it wont work.

Group is Soldiers of War, ask for invite if you're interested

You see, the main difference is that the thing you were trying to download existed at the time you were trying to download it.

Every time you say something is old your dick shrinks.

a bunch of you obviously havent pre orderd from bestbuy before

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Very true. I didn't know they were capable of Pre Orders.

thats the problem, why would a major company like best buy release a code that dosn't work, the card with the code on it dosn't say "redeem after ??/??/????" so thats what the problem is.

  • 07.27.2009 7:40 PM PDT

How exactly did you get the code? Doesn't it come with the game when you pick it up from the store?

I guess they have empty cases with a redemption card in them.
Kind of like Fallout 3's Point Lookout at GameStop.

I've pre ordered from bestbuy before.. You have to wait till about 1-2 Monthes before the offical Release.. When I preordered Halo Wars I got the same thing until it was closer to release time.. My guess is they haven't officially released it on the Marketplace..

  • 07.27.2009 7:49 PM PDT

if you were smart you would wait untill the game comes out bc. it wont work before then.

It does work. You just need to wait until Johnson is actually available on the marketplace for it to be valid.
