Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL

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.

I pre-ordered my copy today. I was thinking of getting the standard edition but somehow i decided to go for Collector's edition. Cant wait for 25th to collect my game and free Halo 3 faceplate :)

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

OK!... so i've finally given in! I've been saying for weeks that i've not got the cash for a new game so couldnt get halo 3 (even tho the last two are the best games!!) but i've given in n just ordered it!!! :D :D

Well cant wait now!!!

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
