they state that the game will arrive within 3-5 business days. If on Tuesday, October 20th, it arrives on the Friday, October 23rd by chance, are we allowed to play the game early? There wont be any ban implemented right?
You probably won’t get banned, but if you do you will prob just talk to xbox support/tweet a 343 employee and show them your receipt or something.
Or the other possibility which most likely won’t happen, is that the disc may have a countdown, so you can’t play the game till the intended release date.
It’s likely going to work like the code where it will still download what it needs. You won’t be playing early.
There’s a sticky thread for exchange at the top of the section.
