sh­eithings, lolol
also, fu­srodahsucks

Just got my copy of Halo CE Anniversary, and my god the case looks beautiful and shiny.

But what grabbed my attention first was the store sticker still attached to it's plastic wrapping that the case is still packed in (I have not yet opened it lol), which reads:

"STOP! Do Not Put On Shelf or Sell before Tuesday, 15th November 2011. It cannot be sold before this date. Selling it before this date will violate your agreement."

So does this mean all the stores that sold it across the world before that date (aka, there were users on B.net saying they got their copies early) royally buttscrewed the possibility of them selling any more products from 343i?

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

wait what?

Not as such. For ever copy sold early by a retailer, the retailer is required to pay a penalty. As long as they pay their penalties however I doubt the distributors will mind selling them more copies.

Also, local "mom and pop" game stores don't care about those regulations a lot of times.

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

Will it really make a difference?

Probably not. It may be the first Halo game under 343's development, but it's not going to change our entire outlook on the company. While it may seem like a big deal to you, to me it's not.

343's a young company, so while we may not cut them slack, we have to understand that they aren't going to be perfect so early.

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

They sold it to me today too.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

They don't ship the game overnight lol. They ship it a couple weeks early to get complications out of the way and have the game put on shelves on release date. Sometimes an employee screws up and forgets the date so they sell it early.

so is it really true that they have a retail code inside every case if you just wanna download all 7 new maps for halo reach?

This. If you're that paranoid about it, unplug your Xbox from the internet for the next few hours.
