Anniversary Pre-Order in Europe. Why, 343, why?

Games Other Halo

OK. I live in Spain. I was so happy about bonuses of preordering Halo Anniversary, but it wasn’t so true. I preordered at GameStop, and they didn’t know what they were going to give as bonus.

A week later, GameStop published that they were going to give an artbook (which isn’t bad at all). I asked bs angel about this, and she said that they couldn’t give Avatar armour and Funeral skull because of some European restrictions and laws.

WHAT THE -Yoink-!?!

Also, 343i don’t think they are going to give codes of these. So why 343i, why EUROPE!!! Why can’t we have Grunt Funeral Skull or Avatar Armour???

Damn, I feel bad for you guys

Sometimes there are certain things that 343 or even Microsoft can’t change. You’ll have to order from the UK or something if you want them.

The same on Italy…Artbook how pre-order…

Almost the same in the UK. Avatar armour and artbook

What law prevents it??

7

Too bad for you, but I think that’s only in Spain, not all of Europe. Here in the Netherlands I will get the Skull and Avatar code :slight_smile: There was just 1 webshop that gives this bonus here though.

Have you tried other webshops?

Wait, so us Brits don’t get the -Yoink- funeral skull with out preorder!
This doesn’t seem likely, we even got a damn UK-specific trailer for the thing!

Everyone worldwide will have to pre-order if they want the skull… that’s why it’s called a Pre-Order Bonus.

I don’t know

11

Guess what: In France you don’t have the pre-order bonus and I don’t even get to have an artbook.

What the YOINK !

YOINK BLAM BLAM YOINK BLAM SHIZNO

I have, but the OP, unless I have misinterpreted him, says Europeans won’t get it with a pre-order regardless.

Yes, the same, or worse.

Is eBay an option? (Could you buy the game from someone in the US and then just use the code?)

Don’t think so. I don’t have a credit card.

Depends where you Pre-order it from. I know GAME and Gamestation are doing the art book, but Amazon.co.uk is doing the Grunt Skull and Avatar armour.

So only UK, Spain, France and Italy are out. OK. :S

Here in Canada, we only get the skull and the avatar armour. I would gladly not get those to get the artbook. You guys are lucky…
