... Y'know... I honestly don't think I even need post! Really, what is the point? I have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of perfectly feasible arguments as to why the (now black-listed) OP should release evidence as to his possession of the game, and just as many as to how he could do so!

He is evidently lying, no doubt his filthly lies were inspired by the fact that some stores, perhaps Best Buy being one of them, actually do provide you with a copy of the case for a nominal fee...

Now, this thread needs to stop. All we have done thus far is encourage him, and people like him, to spread such slander!

And you all seem to have forgotten, Argos did in fact release Halo 3 a full week early, potentially due to a clerical error, or otherwise a cunning marketing ploy to earn them little extra cash. In fact, I myself was fortunate enough to get my hands on one of the aforementioned pre-release copies of Halo 3, do you know what the first thing I did was? I put up a video of me playing it in my very own living room whilst viewing all the relevant nformation to prove it was me! The OP is a liar, and a bad one at that!

Legally, Bungie or Microsoft could in no way have punished him for having been given cheaply an early copy of the game (which will not actually be mass-made for another two to four weeks!), and could not be banned from Xbox Live! Best Buy would be technically liable, but not to such an extent that any serious trouble would be caused.

You realise, right, that you just bumped the topic without adding anything in any way constructive?

I am not being hypocritical as this post is not in fact bumping, the topic is already at the top, and my last post was constructive...

Besides this is not my only gamertag and i couldn't play it online.... it hasn't released yet.... duh


Ouch. So many have bit the bait of a troll in this thread. Sadly, my friend, released or not if you had the game you would be able to play it online, as people have done for games such as Gears of War 2. Instant fail. The other obvious fact is, it hasn't shipped yet. The only way I can think of you getting it is if you got it straight from the manufacturers.

The least you could do when you are trolling is use spell check, and read up on what you're trolling about.

  • 08.08.2009 5:41 PM PDT

I find this hard to believe.. like that would really happen. 1 out of 1 million pre order cases happens to have the disk.

  • 08.08.2009 6:13 PM PDT

O hai

It's funny, because threads like these really show the breakdown of the Bungie Community...

OP: STFU, 8 year olds can't determine fact from fiction

  • 08.08.2009 7:30 PM PDT

Pretty sure this did not happen becasue the game is probably not even in the stores yet. It comes out a month and a half from now so why the hell would Bungie ship the game already.
the game is probably still bein g tweeked....let alone being shiped....

"Insert Witty Signature Here"

I highly doubt that he has it. But if he really does, and has half a brain as well, he will not be playing it online at all. Insta-ban.

P.S. If you DO have it, i suggest playing the lotto as well. Your luck seems to be stupendous.

Well if he had the game, would he really want to play it and risk being banned for what looks like modding?

  • 08.08.2009 7:42 PM PDT

Take the case, open it and take the disc and booklet out. Lay the case on a table, and put case with the boxart facing up. Then put the cd below it on one side, and do the same with the booklet. Then get a small piece of paper, and write your username on it.

Upload it to photobucket or whatever you use, and post a link.

Otherwise, youre full of it.

  • 08.08.2009 8:24 PM PDT

well some stores get them REALLY early. But if they do they have a "Do Not Sell Until xx/xx/xxx" or something like that on top of the case underneath the wrapping. I doubt she gave you the wrong box cause it would say that on the box. If they gave it to you they're mentally retarded. Plus who reported the first post, how did it violate the rules?

I didnt see ODST on your game list. I did see kung fu panda though -_-

stores arent supposed to give the boxes are they? Usually its just a card that you get off the shelf in bestbuy. I never pre-oredered something where they gave me the box. Then again I go to gamestop.

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

Enjoy your perma ban from XBL forever, OP.

OMG DUDE! HEY I JUST FOUND YOUR GT! OMG I'M IN THE SAME PARTY WE'RE PLAYING ODST RIGHT NOW ON FIREFIGHT AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPEN... Okay, I'm done with the masquerade, seriously kid, if you're that sad and that wanting of attention sit in front of your parents and tell them you're doing crack. Man, I give you an ounce of my respect and then you take it away.

I thought you'd eventually just pull up and say "Look guys, I don't have it, just wanted to see the responses for teh lulz."

No, you haven't even done that. You continue to beg for your much, truly un-required attention and honestly have no possible idea of what the outcome might be of your seeking of said attention.

Just FYI (since everyone else ITT seems to be going against you, I shall follow because I'm on Bungie.net and who the hell has a brain on here any more except for some of the mods and the employees right?), if you were playing this game right now, your xbox would be dust to you. Your console would be banned, not to mention all Gamertags on it and you would also be so screwed up right now if you were honestly playing this game and one of the mods on here even thought for a second that you are telling the truth, they'd be handing this link over to Microsoft, give them your IP, location, name registered with the account and all other info they'll need. Give MSFT a day and they'll have their wrinkly little fingers around that Best Buy's neck and then if things went even further and you DID so happen to have said game, there A would be some people losing jobs at Bungie (maybe only one person) or maybe someone in Microsoft Games' test department had lost a job or legal action would be taken on an out of house tester who would be doing a -blam!- load of time in the dog house and... Quite simply sir, by just posting this little fragmented lie of yours on this web forum, and if you are TRULY playing ODST at this very moment, in the next week or so you would have caused many people to lose their jobs and so much money to be handed over to MSFT and not to mention your ass would be on fire as well... Just by posting this you could have ruined people's lives forever and probably could have, inadvertently, killed them.

Sir, think before you post.

Good day.


Wow, that was amazing. You are now the greatest person on B.Net. (Except for Shishka)


Blegh! Shishka may be cool but he's not the GREATEST on Bnet, only Jason or Joe can take that trophy, and thank you sir but if I was the greatest person on Bnet (besides Shishka as you say), I'd probably have a hat and be a gorilla.

Hmm, just remember. There is...was someone greater than Shishka...Frankie how I miss you =[



*sniff* I cry every time I think of him...

Whaaat?
How did you get the disc?
When I bought it, the clerk only took his shirt off and started dancing for me :(

He, it's fun making the kid feel bad, that's exactly what he gets when he comes on here and posts like this.
