Well, I guess I should post here.

I've been on the fence, leaning towards not getting the game at all, but I won it in a giveaway thing today, so I'll be seeing a few of you nerds on PSN come Tuesday :)

Does the digital upgrade work in reverse?(guess it wouldnt really be an upgrade then). ex. Buying xbox one version then getting 360 version for free?

It seems like the hours have started to pass slower and slower as we get closer to launch. I have a feeling that 3 hour wait for 3 am is going to be an eternity.

Also I saw a picture of a Titan using a sword? Is that a real thing?

holy shit holy shit...i have no idea if this is true. But over on good ole gamefaqs, someone on the 360 board said that gamestop is going to start handing out digital codes for people who bought it digitally at 6PM on Monday. Theoretically, if this is true, you would be able to download the game then and play it correct? This has to be in violation of breaking street dates, but awesome if true. All the OP said is that the employee he was talking to made several calls to back it up.

How would that circumvent the unlock?

I know that feel :(

Monday evening is my first class of the school year, I feel like it's going to be the longest class I ever go to.

Wouldn't change the digital unlock time. Would still be 12pm PST.

They'd still have to wait until the 3AM unlock like everyone else.

Perhaps a special slot replacement weapon? It would be an interesting trade off of losing a sniper/shoty/Fusion rife in exchange for a more powerful melee. Unless it is too powerful (one hit kill?)? A heavy weapon? You are right... too many questions...

Titan shoulder charge is already a one-shot kill. I'd expect it to be just as powerful if it replaces a special/heavy weapon slot.

My guess would be it's a feature that was removed.

why wouldnt u be able to play the 360 version? Stuff is usually on the dashboard before it shows as live. It doesnt have an unlock time or countdown like other consoles do. It doesnt even have preordering. Usually if u can download stuff, u can play it

Game doesn't unlock for digital downloads till 12 am PDT/ 3am eastern.

gamestops website says 12 CST

Edit: also, I really dont believe digital copies of anything on 360 have a specified time when they work. If it is in the marketplace, and if u have a code...u can download it and play it.

has anyone in nyc had any luck finding a place that broke the street date? going to check my usual place tomorrow, hoping they got it already. I'll report back here for all my new yorkers with the results. Also if you already got an early copy, mind sending me a pm with the location?

What is the point of this? You can't play the game till Tuesday anyways.
