Hey guys, I know that saying this is going to get me a lot of hellfire, and I'm not sure if I'm really going to get it or not. Don't troll and flame. My friend has a cousin that manages a Gamestop in Illinois. He called him yesterday and asked if he could get MW3 early. His cousin said he should know by Monday. He then told me that he would give it to me if his cousin gave it to him! I know this sounds like a 6-year-old saying that his dad works for IW and is getting it early but this is true. If I get it I won't show any online gameplay or a video. I will just upload pictures. The reason for this is because the fake video of MW3 copy was taken down by Activision and it was fake in the first place. I'm not going to play online, mostly campaing. I think that I'd get banned if I played online. Remember guys, I won't know for sure until Monday or Tuesday. I'm not lying but I know that a lot of people are going to think/say I am. If I don't get it ( which I might not and won't be surprised if I don't) then I may be getting over hyped for nothing. I might make a new Youtube channel and XBL account to show online gameplay and videos if I get it. I know I may be getting worked up for nothing but I'm just kissing major ass to my friend since he's even trying in the first place. Again, I don't know for sure yet if I'll get it. I'm going to be paying my friend anywhere from $40 to $100 for this even if he doesn't ask for any. Please no trolling or flaming, thanks guys.

Why it's legal.

KRuNKFuNk wrote no the way that it works in the software world is that stores apply for gaming license. Once they have them they can buy games from store at a price that they can make a profit from. The moment the stores receive the game it is considered sold as far as the dev is considered. If the store is caught selling games early the only thing that can happen is they get there license removed ( literally almost never happens). If an employee is selling the game it is considered thievery unless they pay the store before hand. in that case the worst they can do is fire him. The buyer can not get in any legal trouble. They can get banned if the company chooses to. However Call Of Duty games have been played early since MW2 by the hundreds. The chance that you are going to get banned is so small you shouldnt even think about it. Coming from someone who both has attempted and succeeded in getting COD games early (Black ops).


Update
Okay guys, my friend's cousin called him last night and told him he WILL send him a copy! BUT, he doesn't know when he gets his shipment in. So he said if he gets it early enough we will send it, but if he only get's it like two days early, he won't because it probably would get here on the 8th anyway. So I still might get it early. I really, really, really, really, really hope I do. But if I don't, then I can wait until the 8th. Thanks guys.

Oh, and I don't live in Illinois. Only his cousin.

Update: His cousin said that he would probably get his shipment in the 5th (Saturday). I told him just not to sent it because if anything, I would only get it a day early and it's not really worth it.

First off dont worry about anything that the dev might do to you because they wont. second off if you truley get the game which no offense but I highley dought, you better kiss your friends ass literally. There are people willing to pay 300+ for the game and an extra 60 for the copy. Dont squandle the oppurtunity you apparently have. record gameplay the moment you get it and release it after the game is released. At least that is what I would do. If you have any questions send me a msg. Also if this does go through there are some eager buyers who will definitely want to talk to the store owner about selling copys early. say paying 1500+ for 5 copies.
