Halo: Reach posted?

[noble cookie]

Okay, so here's what happened.

I was checking up on my Halo: Reach pre-order status on Play.com, and it no longer appears on outstanding orders. I decide to take a look at my order history.
It lists "Halo: Reach with pre-order bonus armour" yadayada, and next to that,

it says posted.

???

Have they actually posted it and should i be expecting it to arrive? I have no idea!

(Also, Reach isn't due for release until about a week from now.)

Hey maybe it is on it's way.

What's more likely is that because of the pre-order bonus, a few days before posting they change it to posted so you can't take the pre-order bonus then cancel your order to buy it somewhere cheaper.

Or a wizard did it.

Probably because they got copies of the game (frequently retailers get them before release dates....) and they changed the status. They'll ship it or something when the release date hits.

Mayhaps you'll get lucky and get it early - just make sure you unplug your 360 from the interw3bs if you decide to play it or else you'll find your live account banned.

I recently got an email from Game about Halo: Reach saying: Your Order Is On It's Way!
So it could just be early. I hope mine is!

I'm pretty sure the pre-order bonus comes in a code with the game.

So i can't get it until the game arrives anyway

Play.com have gotten steadily worse over the last year or so in terms of postage.

Used to be that I'd order something on there and it'd turn up in about a day or so. Nowadays it takes them about two days to even get around to posting it.
