Probably not, but if it's an online pre-order, there's a slight chance of getting it early.

pre-order means you get it as soon as possible (often times on the day of realease, but it depends on shipping). it will not get you the game pre-realease date. best buy will let you pre-order the game (im fairly sure), but it may not give you the SGT. Johnson bonus. if you want to know if it does, go read the thread called:List of all stores selling Halo 3: ODST (with Sgt. Johnson info). its one of the hot topics on the right hand side.

No, you won't get it early, but you have ensured you have a copy of the game. With some games (like this one), you get a special bonus for pre-ordering like free multiplayer maps, new campaign missions, or a special character to play in a certain mode. Halo 3: ODST will give you a token to Sgt. A. Johnson to play in the Firefight mode when you get the game from a pre-order. Some games don't offer pre-order bonuses in distributors other than Game Stop, but Halo 3: ODST has a specific amount of stores that will allow you to pre-order and get the bonus. The list of stores are in the pinned topics.--------->

I hope that this helped. Have a good day.
