Subject: Does Futureshop give the Johnson bonus with a pre-order?

I'm in canada, and I want to know if anybody knows if Futureshop gives you Sgt. Johnson with your pre-order.

They're closed, and I want to pre-order right about now-ish, so I'm wondering if anybody knows.

My bad, I should have specified. I'm in Canada. Manitoba, specifically.

no info for canada. I'm hoping the fact that Best Buy is doing it in the U.S. means that Best Buy/Futureshop are doing it in Canada, since they're the same store.

Does my post physically hurt you or something? Is my asking a question really that big of an issue? If you don't know the answer, either say so, or don't bother responding. Thanks.

I mean, if nobody knows the answer, my thread will drop off the front page like any other thread with no responses. All you're doing is bumping it up so more people will see it. Thanks?

On the right side of the main forum there's a thread showing ALL stores in ALL areas that have Johnson and whether they have it or not.

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

I'm positive that the "U.S" also assumes Canada as part of that region... Why? Well I know for sure Wal-Mart and EB Games/Gamestop are taking pre-orders...

Besides that, I'm not sure if Future Shop is... I've never heard of them doing that come to think of it though... So why not just stick with an EB Games or Wal-Mart? There has got to be one in your area, no?

Halo 3: ODST: Pre-order with Bonus - CANADA

FYI, I wrote service@futureshop.com and the answer is that yes you can pre-order, but no you will not get the bonus:

"Dear Mr. Mason:

We are not currently promoting any such offer with the Halo 3 product as of this time. We do recommend that you continue to monitor our website for updated details in the future.

We appreciate your understanding.

Sincerely,

Patrick
Agent 12314
Future Shop"

So next I tried to order it from Gamestop. I chose Gamestop because they're linked from the Battlefield 1943 site as the place to order BC2, and therefore seemed like a good place to ensure I'd receive the bonus (does that sort of makes sense? :) ). Anyway, the Gamestop site says "Ships to U.S. addresses only ".

So, that answers a couple of questions but still leaves me wondering what to do. I can just keep trying other places in the U.S., but surely to goodness there must be someplace in Canada that has a deal with Bungie - but where? How do I find out? Who do I write? Do any of the Bungie people answer these posts?

Laterz,

Mason
