Video Easy in Australia breakes Halo 3 release date

[tuteja1986]

Today i went into video easy to get a movie and i pass by the game section and i was looking at all the new games that came out for the PS3/360. Then i moved along to the New Video release section when it hits me that i read halo 3 so i rush back to Video Easy's game section where to my surprise i see halo 3 without a tag like "coming soon". So i rented it and now i am going to play it and finish it by Sunday : )

Update :
lol :! guess what :!

Today at around 9.30am i get call from video easy begging me to return the game and they were willing to send a courier to pickup the game. lol... Microsoft read the post and called up Video Easy asking WTF is going on. lol found out Microsoft did a recall of Halo 3 game from my local video easy.

Interesting. However, Halo 3 was released on the internet for those of us who have our xbox 360s modded. I've had it for a day or two now.

I remember getting Halo 2 over a month before it's release back for my modded Xbox.

I have no qualms with doing it to companies I hate. I've never paid for an EA game, and I never will, but I love the Burnout games, so I download them. I may have gotten Halo 2 a month early, but I still bought the collector's edition.

If you hate the companies, why do you play their games? Nice attempt to justify piracy...

Yea, hating EA justifies pirating their games. Great reasoning!

Yes. Yes it is. EA doesn't actually make the Burnout games. Criterion does. But EA publishes them, therefore yes, I pirate them. Garbage companies like EA, who simply buy out their competition deserve to be pirated. If the company is worth supporting then I buy the game. Take Oblivion for example. That game had zero copy protection. It didn't even have a cd key. It's been the easiest game to pirate recently that I can think of. Bought it (collector's edition) on launch day.

People who say that there is never any reason to pirate anything ever need to grow up.

And it the process you would also be hurting Criterion, who spent hundreds of hours making the game. Ever think of that?

People who troll with information from other threads generally know they've been bested and thus try to make the person "look bad."

Yup, but EA funds them so they're fine.
