ODST Is almost here…As we all make preparations for Tuesday the 22nd of September to perhaps take time off work? Skip school? Go to the midnight launch and sleep all day? Or maybe simply to just pick it up at the end of the day. This all could be void since the retailer GAME, has shipped Halo: ODST early to many online buyers.
Reports are coming in from various websites such as Whirlpool, Palgn or Xbox.com.au that buyers have already received their copies.

Wow a broken street date!
Just wow.
Considering I was talking to a guy at my local GAME a few days ago and he was saying they'd just gotten there boxes in and they're covered in yellow tape with letters from Microsoft saying that are liable to be fined if even the boxes are opened before 12:01am on Sept 22nd, it's pretty crazy they mailed off copies so early.
Wondering whether I should head down to GAME and see if they can give me my preorder, anyone going to try?
Don't think the stores will hand the game out mate, it's their online side that broke the embargo, I'm wondering what is in store for the company, as I know MS had strict instructions sent out re just this issue . . ooopppssyy big time.
when a company has millions tied up in promotions that require exact timimg, street dates are important.
Secondly, street dates allow the smaller retailer, who are often great ppl bt the way, a chance to compete equally with sales on a specific day.
When major stores break these dates, naturally many gamers will forgo their pre-orders at stores and try and get the game early, making sales in other stores suffer.
Without smaller retailers, we have no choice when it comes to getting games at reasonible rates.
Someones getting fired!
I hate when games come out early, ruins all your plans!
