Regarding Halo 4 Pre-Order

If I were to pre-order my copy of Halo 4 from say the Microsoft Store or Amazon or somewhere online, and I were to select the free shipping option, would I receive my copy of Halo 4 on the release date or would it be shipped out on the release date and I wouldn’t get my copy until 3-7 days after? Thanks for clarifying this for me.

Also off-topic but out of curiosity, where is everyone planning on pre-ordering their copy of Halo 4?

First point- I don’t know

Second- Offline at GAME

I want to pre-order my copy on amazon to see if I can get it a day or two early,but I also want to go to the midnight launch

Yeah I feel like pre-ordering offline would be better so I don’t have to worry about when it gets to my house. I don’t think the limited edition comes offline though but I haven’t decided if I want that over the standard edition.

I’ve heard they ship it early so it arrives at launch date but, I don’t really know.

For me, I’m going for the traditional gamestop.

I would think that they ship it early but I just wanted some confirmation on that. I might just go with Gamestop as well unless I get the limited edition.
