I dont know why people are still flapping about getting banned.

Not only can MS not tell who is playing an illegally downloaded copy and who is playing a legit copy, but it is unlikely they will ban people who started playing it today because a lot of legitimate online pre-orders arrived yesterday.

Mine unfortunately did not, but was despatched friday so will be here tommorow morning.

It bugs me if he pirated it, if it's a legit copy that came through the post, then it's cool.

BTW, love the avi, you a big fan of Reason too? I've owned ever Reason they've put out, and a couple versions of Rebirth too.

Its not what you know, its who you know. The "who" is a person at a retail store that will sell you the game early. :lol:

The problem is that many of the retailers get the shipment days before the game street date release. I wouldnt be surprise that they are people who have a copy early which they obtain through somebody they know who work at any of these retailers unless its an actual employee who is playing a copy early. To my knowledge its actually considered illegal for any retailer to sell anything before its actual street date release.

Not shipping them until tuesday makes it kinda impossible to deliver on the promise of having the game to you for the release date.

the vast majority of places post 2 days before the release date, however with GTA IV, most places sent them out friday, or will be sending them out monday.

Yeh i've owned reason for over 5-6 years and have recently updated to 4.0 which is amazingly insane.......

As for everyone else's post saying that he got an illegal copy, I personally know him but he refuses to tell me where he gets it from but it definatly isn't a copy of the game, it's the official game from a little Chinese vendor that makes their profit by releasing games 3 days in advanced...This same situation happened with Halo 3 when I saw he was online playing DeathMatch on the morning of September 22nd.

It just urks me!! Because now I gotta hear bragging and possible spoilers!!
