I plan on pre-ordering ODST from ToysRUs online because I've got several gift cards from there. However, the ship date is the first of September. Will this date change before the actual release, and will that mess up me getting it on release day? Any input would be greatly appreciated,

It will ship either on the release day or sometime during that week. They will most likely not ship it before the release date.

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

You have gift cards for Toys R Us? Why?

ToysRUS credit card. It gives you like 1% of everything you buy, but when you're buying cars and Macbooks, it adds up.

Yea, but it's a kids store! I remember when I was a kid my mom would take me in there and let me pick out one toy. What if I picked out a -blam!-ing Corolla!?

Guys, shut up.

Toys'R'Us is know to release games early since they aren't exactly the greatest games retailer ever. Based on what I've seen from Toys'R'Us in the past, you might want to consider that date as true.

I've gotten countless games (Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, etc...) before release date there. Yeah, it may be a kid's toy store, but guess who's gonna be playing the games first?

Are you fudging serious?!........... But won't it have a 'DO NOT SELL BEFORE 9/22/09' sticker on the case or something?

  • 08.17.2009 2:07 PM PDT

If for some very unlikely reason you DID get ODST early, DO NO PLAY IT. Some people got their hands on a copy of Halo 3 a couple weeks early, and when they went online, they got slapped with a ban... until 2552 I believe.

Wait a second... taken from the shipping date 'details':

Pre-Order items are available for purchase on the Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us website in advance of the manufacturer's general public release date. Pre-Order items are shipped directly to you once the stated release date arrives and you will be notified of your order status via email. You will not be charged for any item until it is shipped to you. Expected shipment time for each item will be shown in your shopping cart. Please note, expected shipment times appearing in your shopping cart specify when an item is expected to leave our warehouse, not when it will arrive at its final shipping destination. Release dates may vary based on the manufacturer.

Also I bought that NERF machine gun(Vulcan EBF-25) from Toys 'R' Us with a few old gift cards, and it came nearly a month late...

So are you saying, from your experience I should pre-order from somewhere like Gamestop?
