Why can't US get certain pre-order bonuses?

Games Other Halo
1

I was interested in getting as many pre-order bonuses as possible with the release of HALO 4 when I got an e-mail response from EB Games Australia saying that they can’t ship overseas to the US and I was disappointed that I can’t get these exclusive pre-orders: arctic battle rifle skin, ghost avatar prop, spartan emblem and hazop woodland skin but I’m sure you can get that in the US. As far as the first three go, i’m almost 99% sure that you cannot get these in the US. I hope that later on they release this content via DLC. If this is addressed early on maybe 343 can work something out with us US gamers and let us have access to these bonuses too please.

(Make this thread known please thank you!)

they will probably be in ebay after halo 4 is released

How about EB games Canada?

But to clarify this is how they shouldve done it:
They shouldnt have. For all preorder businesses shouldve sold the same bonuses. Its stupid that they split them up

To be fair the USA gets special pre-order edition of games that other countries cant get

5

Everything should always be available equally worldwide. This is just a nasty marketing scheme.

I love my arctic br. So glad Canada gets it. But yeah, exclusive offers suck. Hopefully they’ll be unlocked for everyone eventually, kind of like Recon in H3.

I mostly feel bad for completionists, since camo counts as a seperate gun, meaning some people will never have 15/15 primaries.

Rest of the world doesn’t get as much as the US : Nobody cares
US can’t get everything : HOLY -Yoink- IT’S NOT FAIR blablabla…

(I’m looking at you Reach Recon helmet).

343i have said that all pre-order armor will most likely be available via DLC further down the line.

With Halo 4 there are many pre-order bonuses each country has and will not receive. No one country has them all so nobody will have them all. And seriously if people are planning to pre-order from the like 10 different countries, you people are crazy.

Don’t complain. Here in AUS we cant get all bonuses either. It’s the same for everywhere in the world.

Lol, i’m in Australia and i have preordered from Eb. When i first saw the preorder bonuses, i was abit dissapoint as there were like not much offered as bonuses, but as time goes on they added more and more. There could be more announced for other countries, but yeah, the world doesnt revolve around the USA, and you guys have heaps more stuff we dont have, so stop whining.

Agreed.

Lucky for me I don’t like any of the pre-order skins.
