Sad thing though is that play are usually awful with shipping so you might not even receive on the games release day, sometimes play pull through and you get the game on the day or early.

That is true. I don't want to put a dampener on your hopes PiracyX, but I've never preordered with Play.com before for this same reason (as well as price differences also). Amazon can be the same, although it's really hit or miss with them I think.

Seeing as it's a big release though, they might be making preperations for this Monday to send copies out early. If not, it will only be a day or two max anyways. Not like HMV who keep you waiting for weeks on end :p

Lingwo, when did you order your Legendary? I placed mine 19th March, just trying to work out when they went up for preorder on Gameplay's site.

Oh no! I am kinda annoyed with myself now. I did order at Virgin like 2 months ago but i don't know if i ordered it in time as a few days later they pulled it from the website.

This is why i was always willing to hold out and wait until Play confirmed they were up for preorder. This was my last shot really sicne everywhere else has sold out and me getting one from Virgin wasn't confirmed.

In the past i have had good service from Play who did arrive my copy of HL2:E1 the day it came out so i hope i will get the same quick service from them, thats if i am lucky to even get it with the limited numbers. Lasy year i ordered Gears of War from HMV and that came same day at launch but they may have been a one off.

If you haven't heard from Play already, I'd say it's safe your copy is reserved. What ever you do, don't cancel it :p

I've not bought from Virgin before, but I do know Green_Eye from Neowin got his copy of Bioshock on release date. Heard all kinds of stories about HMV though. Maybe that was s*** service in the past though?

I've always had great service from Play as well, but their free post is a little slow hence why I never preorder with them. They always get stuff to me in the time frame they set too. Don't sit and worry over it though honestly :) Watch some more vidocs or gameplay videos :D

I ordered mine on the 16th May. I was going to order it sooner but i wanted to see what other places offered in terms of price.

PiracyX, you should get it on release, just i never trust play because of their lack of shipping options.

The full and final Halo 3 disc has been uploaded to the internet by piracy groups a week before the game's release next Wednesday.

This is hardly surprising since, earlier this week, the game's street date was broken when numerous copies were sold by major UK retailer, Argos (to people who we're very jealous of right now). It was only a matter of time before a copy of the game founds its way into the hands of a pirate.

It's not worth you going on the hunt for it though. A pirate copy of the game won't work on a normal Xbox 360, and if you modify your console you stand the strong risk of being banned for life from Xbox Live, which renders Halo 3's fantastic multiplayer mode useless.

Just wait, guys. There's only a few more days left...

Remember, Neowin has rules about piracy. So no handing out links kiddies ;)

^ Its just amazing that it was leaked on the web a week before it came out. I sure don't remember this happening with Halo 2 or 1.

Halo 2 leaked ages before it hit retail. Can't remember exactly how long before, but it was around a month or so

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!
    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.

      illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
