Jesus fking christ I'm going to be well fked off if I've messed this up. No way will I permit the Bear or the Scorpion to get an advantage to the skill of Phil

Right, I'm going to be late on COD tonight as I'll be doing some ringing around.

Someone on this thread said that there'd be no point in pre-ordering the game. My advice is to be careful when trying to stamp out the brown paperbag that's buring on your doorstep!

One word: SHAME.

Proper men go and get the game at midnight on the release date.

Proper men stumble through the doors somewhere between 10am and mid day reeking of the previous nights beer and kebabs laughing incoherently as they snatch their prize from the hands of the sales monkey having taken the day off work. Dont they?

Steve Evil said:

To be fair, I think the retailer is selling PS3s with a copy of the game for about £5 to the first 10 people, along with giving away other prizes, but 2 weeks for that simply isn't worth it.

It does say a little about the parents, letting them camp out for 2 weeks though, doesnt it? If they were allowed to shoot passers by with a paintball gun whilst camping, that would be something else, but...

intrepid44 said:

I certainly won't be camping out at any stores that's for sure!

Oh come on. Let ALL camp out together. 72 hours before release, we can shove a gun in PolarGertrudes mouth and threaten to blow his tonsils down his throat if they dont hand over the games which will have been delivered by then, then we'll grab the games and sacrifice bert anyway (the hero and the Martyr we all love) and hijack some rides. We'll all have brought kalashnikovs and RPG's of course and will play cops and crooks laughing all the way home, whereupon we'll flog the remaining copies a day early for £250 a pop using Gertrudes ebay account.

Can't believe you've taken sides Rob! I thought you liked me because we had the same name and everything.

I'll be up for the self sacrifice thing. Seeing as you've got Aks I'm gonna be packing a grenade that I'll pull the pin of just as you shoot me through the throat. The shot will be too low to kill me instantly so I'll have time. If not, I'll make time damnit!

[Polarbert]

Oh and its now 13!!!

[Polarbert]

I hope to st mine doesn't break.

[Polarbert]

You can pretty much guarentee that you won't be able to play online for the first couple of weeks as the servers will be overloaded like COD4 at Xmas.

Really? Hmmm. Maybe there's hope yet

Of course, if you prove to be hopelessly wrong and MS take the full 10 days, I shall now have my rebuilt-up hopes completely shattered and shall be forced to sue you for emotional distress and negligent mis-statement, Steve

I work in the games industry, and we know a few retailers very well

You know how I was your friend on COD, can I have a copy a few days earlier as well?

Speaking of which, someone has completed the game.
Already!!
Unbelievable.

Video linky (and spoiler, for most-crap ending ever) HERE

That was just singstar Rob, what the hell?

I asked around at the launch of Halo 3 mate and they said the same thing. I went to Tesco at midnight and they had it on the shelf.
