Ouch @ the leak. I'm sure people will still be buying this though if they want it that badly. Big big one to lose sales on though, MS can't be too happy with this one!

The impact is relatively low this time around because of the requirements to play it.

This wasn't your typical game leak where a street date was broken etc.

Anybody who wants to enjoy the multiplayer (which I'm guessing is at least two thirds of people who will play Reach) is going to buy the game.

I'm guessing more than that. I will be waiting for my pre-ordered copy.

A retail version will probably leak as well. :)

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Don't doubt it for a second.

Promo copies of the game aren't being distributed until a few days before release date so I'm not sure there will be a leak. I think the bigger websites will be downloading the game to avoid the game being leaked.

But there's more ways for a game to leak right? Maybe someone will find a way to create a signed ISO from the JTAG version.

I'm curious how the previous games leaked. Off to Google! :D

Previous games usually leak from promo copies. Any guy can set up a website, run it for a few months and then get review copies of games. Heck, I write for a website that's been up 2 months and already there's copies of Bioshock flying around and I've got a copy of Reach set aside for me from Microsoft.

Usually promos get sent out about a week before release so reviews can go up before the game is released, but for Reach they're not doing that for some reason. Reviews musn't be needed or something!

Livin In A Box, will you stop to think before you post, please?

What do you think the copy of Halo Reach is that's currently out there? It was made available on Marketplace for promo/review.

...and nobody has got codes for it. Trust me, I know. And the leaked copy of Reach is only for JTAG that for many users isn't usable. Of course, there are loads of JTAG users out there.

It's 3 weeks till release?

****sake, I'd hate to be a big Halo fan. I get antsy about my favourite IP's leaking days early for spoilers.

They're d***s for just posting the ending all over forums. If they hadn't have done that and kept it all secret then it would have been fine...maybe...and they didn't leak it out for other people to try. But we all know that that was never going to happen.

Normally I wouldn't mind waiting. But now I know there's a lot of people playing already, and that bothers me. I'm jealous! :p

Yeah the spoilers would **** me off, but I'm not going to lie I would be a bit jealous as well Usually what temps even the most legit gamers into dabbling into piracy if they can easily enough. 3 weeks is a loooooong time in a fans head.

Yeah it does feel very long. I should probably go out and do something instead of sitting inside all day waiting for Reach. :laugh:

With the PS Jailbreak, we could see PS3 games starting to leak early and playing 3 weeks before everyone else...

Gran Turismo 5...a month before everyone else...

This is an interesting video of the final moments of the game with spoilers.

I usually go dark in the weeks leading up to a game release. That is, I don't venture into the comment sections of news articles, I don't do random YouTube searches (I'll watch the official trailers only), and I'll try to stay away from discussion forums. This particular forum is fine though, since the people here are more civil than your average Internet dwellers.

The only way I could see myself accidentally stumbling upon a spoiler is if somebody were to tweet it. That's probably harder to avoid (unless you're willing to go dark from Twitter, which I'm not).

And I wouldn't click the link above. Don't know if it's real, and I'm in no rush to find out :laugh: .

Seeing as I don't give a rats arse about the story in this particular game I am debating on whether or not I should watch this.

Isn't GamePress just a resource for press releases? As long as you have an email address associated with a blog you can access the content.

Something like that, You, Me, DrunknMunky and Larry were all on it at one point iirc.

[Livin in a box]

Meh, forget it then.

What I have said was mostly driven by my dislike of DrunknMunky, so I just blurted out. Sorry to anyone else.

Is that how it ends or is that just the build up?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Forget it, pos aint worth my time.

[Pajter]

Less arguing, more leaking! :rofl:

[Livin in a box]

Jeez, maybe I did act like a p**** before but I AM getting a promo of the game...don't make assumptions to me. Just because I'm 15 doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing.
