From what i know of Microsoft. Anyone caught playing games early is banned from Xbox Live since they assume it is a pirate version.


I don't think so - it's pretty unreasonable for MS to punish folks who are ignorant of a game's street date. They have other ways to determine if a game is pirated or not.


Yeah, they check to see if the game smells of rum and walks on a wooden leg before they call it pirated.

Is that from Gamestop?  They always seem to prepare to package my stuff super early.

I pre-ordered Left 4 Dead 2 from them on the tuesday before it came out, and on Wednesday I found out Amazon was about 10 cheaper with shipping and such all combined, plus I would get a 10 dollar pre-order discount from Amazon for a future purchase.  I was like screw that stupid baseball bat Gamestop get's me I want the 20 dollars.

Wouldn't let me do it, it was 6 days till the game was supposed to come to me but they already claimed it was packaged and ready and no one to cancel it, despite I sitll got the game the day I was always supposed to get it, i never got it faster.


Haha, yeah, it was Gamestop. At least it's good to know that their speedy shipping worked though. :happy:

Ok.

We cannot prevent retailers from releasing the game before the street date. Like most of you, I do not like it when some store sells things before they should. 


Explain to me why we wouldn't like having the game earlier? I certainly hope my regular gameshop will sell it the 26th, instead of the stupid 29th you decided on for no reason at all for Europe.

Well, apparently my copy is already in a box, waiting for me. In a warehouse somewhere:

"Because our goal is to ship your order quickly, your order has been packaged for shipment and cannot be cancelled. Also, keep in mind if the item you ordered offers a bonus code, the order cannot be cancelled once the code is provided as stated in our website Help section and on the product page."

Not that I was trying to cancel it. Just trying to see if I could change the shipping option to "release date!11!" XD


I've ordered from Gamestop before and never seen a "release date" shipping option. I use overnight shipping and still get the game on release day, can't remember one I didn't.  The fact that they have the game packaged and ready to go more than likely means you'll have it release day.  I have my pre-order there as well and do not doubt I'll have the game on the 26th.

They have no release day shipping, just release day gurantee.  If the item has release day gurantee you must get overnight shipping, and they claim that it will get to you the day the game comes out or your money back, but unlike say Amazon, there is no shipping option that says it.

Okay, I have to say one thing. I was much better at this game when my bad aim didn't matter that much.

I love you. Atleast someone won't spoil the ending. Like someone did with Resident Evil 5... I was so annoyed when I found out a specific individual dies in the end.... Gah, unforgiveable! Thanks for this strict policy Chris. We all appreciate it.

Bad aim doesn't matter that much anymore ?

Sounds like a spoiler to me. Chris ? I think it's time to ban this (lucky) bastard :bandit:

He said he was better when his bad ain didn't matter as much before, meaning you could have bad aim in  ME1 and still kill things.  I don't think he addmited there to having ME2.

If I recall ME1 CE had everything in a nice big tin. For ME2 CE is it just coming in a cardboard box case with a smaller tin inside for the discs? Kinda like the ME1 CE design better; cardboard cases can easily get bent (already seeing that in one corner of the box in the pic) and a lot of times that's just the way they come from the store (guessing the box gets banged up during shipping).


I was wondering about that too, I assumed that it was going to be in a NICE tin like ME1, can anyone confirm or show a better picture of the outside of the 'tin'

Oh man. Be careful folks. I tracked down those images in a thread entitled:

"For Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox 360, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Got Game Early!! Beat it!!! Ending Spoilers here!!!!!(SPOILERS)"

Be very careful. I'm thinking I'm taking a break from these forums now.



It is Spoilzilla, we must FLEE!!!


Has anyone gone in there to ask if Tali is a LI? Let's end this.

The tin that the game discs come in looks like the new slimmer CE cases MS has been using. I actually prefer those cases to the big clunky ones. They actually fit in my DVD rack now :P

As for the other items, it looks like the artbook, comic, etc come in a cardboard folder/envelope like the Halo Wars CE and then everything is held together by the plastic cover.

We cannot prevent retailers from releasing the game before the street date. Like most of you, I do not like it when some store sells things before they should. These people who get the game early will encounter problems (such as achievements not working, no tech support, etc) until the actual launch date. Selling the game early is beyond my control. Sorry.

I also do not like when people spoil the game for me. This I CAN do something about. ANYONE found to post spoilers about the game here on these forums will be BANNED. We will not let people discuss the game until it is supposed to be released. I will be posting an announcement at the top of the page. If anyone sees anyone posting story or spoiler details here, please contact me or anotehr staff/mod and we will handle it.



:devil:
thank god for you mr preistly bless you anyhoo i dont like spoilers either but 9 days to go for me so i think ill survive i hope:)
