    Hey guys,
    have ye had any info on stores in Ireland that'll be getting the Johnson pre-order bonus for Firefight?

    The UK stores listed on bungie.net that are getting it are
    Game, Gamestation, Amazon, Play.

    I asked yesterday in Game and while the assitant was aware of the bonus, he was not sure/hinting that they might not be getting it.
    Any help with this would be appreciated :)

    Seems that both Game and Gamestop have done a u-turn on this and are offering the Sgt. Johnson pre-order bonus.
    Gamestop seem to have an ODST console skin bonus too...

    Coolio basically.

    what do you actually ask for in the bonus

    it seems ive pre ordered halo with the halo controller and it has a pre demo of reach on it too


    i thought that would be the johnson thing too, is it a seperate thing that you have to ask for?

    ive seen the bonus advertised on online shops but not in stores....

    i ordered mine in game so im hoping you get it with in store copies too

    o0o not long left now, games open at 12am tomorrow thats only 6 hours and 22 mins.... don't think ill go thats just to nerdy


    but i pre ordered it and the dude rang and i asked about the bonus stuff you should get the code or token or whatever for the bonus thing and you can get codes to take part in halo beta next year too...

    go to the bungie site and it mentions game and gamestop as shops taking part in the bonus... so once you pre ordered it it shud be ok... im sure you can get it normally anyways

    Got an email from Gamesnash last night saying the following, bit of a pain!
    Do you have a date for when these will be sent Pat?
    Thank you very much for placing your pre order with us for Halo 3 ODST. You may be aware of a special pre order bonus which microsoft were offering with this title to receive a unique code to unlock Sgt. Johnson as a playable character in the game. Unfortunately Microsoft did not ship the special scratch cards to the Irish distributors along with the game. Rather than delaying dispatch of your game we shipped this today and will forward the bonus unlock code as soon as we receive it. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Regards,

    Gamesnash

    Microsoft are sending us the cards today so with a bit of luck we will have them by thursday if not tomorrow. What we will do is scratch them and email the code directly to save time.

    Microsoft and Bungie announced today that those who pre-order Halo 3: ODST at participating retailers, will receive a token to unlock Sgt. Johnson as a playable character in the new cooperative multiplayer mode Firefight.

    I picked up copies for me and a friend in Game today and they gave me codes for each copy. Only one was pre-ordered, so they must've had loads to spare!
