Hey everyone,

I preordered Halo 3 ODST last week and when I did I just got a confirmation on my receipt saying my name and order number. I preordered at Gamestop (US) and he told me that when ODST launched I should just bring my receipt back and I'll get my copy.

I had assumed that the Johnson preorder "token" wasn't a physical object, just an expression and that I would get a download code in my copy of ODST when I bought it.

But when I was at my friend's house the other day who also preordered it at Best buy he had a game case with the words "Pre Order Today" on the top and inside was no disc but there was card with a download code on it.

Should I have gotten something from Gamestop other than a receipt to confirm I have preordered and gotten the Sgt. Johnson bonus?

Many thanks! (It's the first game I've preordered so I'm not sure.)

A receipt with proof of pre-ordering prooves that you pre-ordered, so you will get the code.

That receipt should be proof enough. I think if you gave them your information, they have a big book where your name will be listed on the pre-order in case you lose that receipt. I'm not sure if that's an official thing, but a few of the Gamestops around here do it.

you dont need your receipt but hold onto it. when i went to agmestop to preorder it, they asked for my name and phone number. you tell them your phone number when you go to pick it up.

gamestop gives the codes to you when you get the game. their supposed to be already in the case but gamestop may just hand it to you. best buy people gave the codes early. the codes dont work til it comes out.

edit: Its not a book lol, they store your name in a computer. And if gave your info to one gamestop it will be in every gamestop's computer.
