Where to get MW3 Early

canister94

As usual at this timeof year we are waiting for that sweet sweet day in november namely the 8th.I was wondering does anybody have good sources to get it a few days early .Or just go to a midnight launch and vedge all night.
All input is appreciated even smart comments

Naa dont know how sorry. I dont get the point of getting it early either because you'd probally have to pay out the arse to get it just for a few extra hours. Not really worth it in my opinion

Few flashbangs to buy some time and an M4 for protection should get you past most shopkeepers so you can rob it from the back after they get deliveries!

I think you'd have to head to Gamestop or Extravision for a midnight release unfotunately!

I remember 2 years ago they had Pirates torrenting Modern Warfare 2 about 2-3 weeks before release date!
This year they havent managed to get their hands on it though. Probably for the best.

Still 2 weeks to go yet though and warehouses will start distributing it very soon so a greater chance of it been put on the net between now and the 8th.

I'm sure the shops won't break their street date so you will either have to know someone on the inside, works for distribution company or whatever!

Any infractions for playing it early even though it may be a legit copy? I don't know!

Just wait until the 8th and play at midnight. It would be a bit more exciting to play against many people anyways other than a handful of people who may have it early.

Your not going to get it early this year Gamestop etc have been told by activision any copies sold before can result in a fine for their store of like something up to €5000 so thats what i heard maybe you know someone that wants to lose their job then you might be able

Copies usually spring up on ebay but you will pay through the roof for it. Id say the game doesnt arrive at the Irish distributors till very close to release so your best bet is ordering online and hoping its arrives on the monday.

Surely people can wait till the release date for the game...
After all, not long to go now(!), and there are a few excellent games coming out over the next week or so to keep you ticking over like Uncharted 3 for example (if you own a PS3 of course ).

The only reason I can see for needing it early is if you are a big name youtuber who needs to have a couple of video's ready about the game before it comes out so they can start uploading the day it comes out. I know I can't, as a regular punter, justify paying over the odds for a game early.

Woody, izedneck, wings and TmarTn were all trying to get it early on a live stream the other day. They are willing to pay at least 200 dollars for it, probably up to 400 or so. But that makes sense for them because they make more money on it and the faster you have good gameplay up the more views you will get.

But for regular people, why?

That said, it's not hard to get early if you know a manager of a gamestop or something really well. Though they are at risk of having their stock checked at random, so most won't take the risk.

Buy a distribution company.

Early?! I still have decided which edition to get

If you order it online, you normally get it a day early. The reason for this is that they say they'll get it to you for release day. Regular post says it'll take 2-3 days, so they send it 3 days before release to get to you on time. But post normally only takes 2 days. So you get it a day early. (confused yet? )

Or you could talk nicely to Shammy and see if he'll get you a copy?? Cheers for those birthday greetings Sham, I trust the pressie is in the post?


(I ordered it online from HMV. If I don't have it on the release day, I'll cancel the order and go buy it in a store.. The only problem being that I ordered the hardened and they might not have them in stores with demand being that high...)

and thats why I never preoder games online, the slight chance of playing it a day early isnt worth the bigger risk of getting it a week late. the midnight launch should be a laugh anyway, I might wear my Ghost halloween costume for the laugh :pac:

What are the odds of going into a shop a few days after release day and getting the hardened edition? I'm not too bothered like
