Subject: How do you feel about us Aussies getting ODST before everyone else?

Why would we care?

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

You don't, it's released on the same day for everyone, and if you're talking about the extra few hours, then sure, but no one really cares. Plus, you would only get the extra hours if you lived in the country in which the game was made and distributed from, which is America.

this argument is so childish, who really cares about who gets to play the game first. besides its only a 12 hour time difference or somthing like, that look it up

(for the record im aussie as well and im also pretty sure new zealand gets ODST before us so dont act all high and mighty OP)

Why would New Zealand get it before America as it's a game made and distributed in / from America?

I'm pretty sure they start shipping it before the release date, then sell it on the release date. :-) like when I bought Halo Wars -Blam!- It had a little sticker on it that said do not sell before (whatever day it was I don't remember, lol.) so that must mean the store had it before it was even released :-)

True, but American stores would still get it before New Zealand stores would.

personally i think the release date should be like the DLC. where america gets it the same time as every one else... but then again that always annoyed me i had to wait 5/6 of a day to get it.

still im not complaining but thats cos we recieve it early... but what does it matter that someone is playing the game b4 you?

Do not be fooled by my account registration date...

hear in england we get it like a day after australia, kinda weird though, you would think that a game developed in america would release there first, oh well.

Bragging on the internet makes you look bad by the way.

And i am getting it before you by the way.

[/bragging]


Ahhhhh, Mate I'd don't know if you know this or not but bragging is usually something like this "Haha you suck, I'm getting ODST a few hours before you," not "Yay ODST early, Cool" which is actually what peope have been saying.

In fact its only a couple of Yanks on this forum that make the rest of you guys look like douche's.


think before you post stupid

You see how in the OP it says Edited on ...

That's because he edited it, it was something like this before he edited:

Us Aussies are getting ODST before you americans: SUCk IT USA!


So that isn't bragging? Think before you call almost everybody a douche.



Good work mate. Good to see someone willing to stand by a Douche just because they pledge alegience to the same flag. Truth is you'd probably call him a douch as soon as you realise his stance on abortion differs from yours or that he thinks George W. Bush was a failure, or not, whichever one you take offense too.

I think we can agree that Bush is a failure and that abortions are okay if they are before the third trimester but putting something like "how do you feel about Aussies getting ODST early" is still bragging since the original poster is trying to rub it into people's faces that he gets the game first, though I do agree you deserve it since most of your games are banned.

Also, a "Yank" is not a general American (well, atleast not in the US). A "Yank" in the US is a person who lives or is from the northern United States.

Thanks for rubbing it in everyone's face, like we give two flying craps.

I honestly don't care. I need the time to save up anyways.

READ:

Sending me a group invite or some kind of other pointless, time wasting advert gets you blocked. Don't bother wasting your time. kthnxbai

Just to clarify:

1- Halo 3: ODST is released on the same date worldwide. However, due to time zones, Australia would get the game first, because their clocks would get to the 22nd before Americas would.

2- Not all copies of the game are produced in America. My copy of Halo 3 was produced in Germany.

3- The games ship out to stores before the release date. The stores just aren't allowed to start selling the game until the release date.

4- Really, why are people complaining? Yes, Australia gets the game a few hours earlier than the rest of the world, but that's just how time zones work. As so many people on this forum would say: "Deal with it"
