Just some quick news, apparently, a video on youtube shows some French dude unwrapping his copy of Halo ODST, which he claimed that he bought over the counter at a store. The video that I saw has since being pulled by the user himself, but it looked legit as any game release does. Just perhaps 4 weeks early.

Microsoft France released a statement claiming that if anyone was found to be played ODST when logged into Xbox Live they would be banned from it. Now my question is sh0uld the person who bought the game, legally and legitimatly, despite the fact his guy obviously knew the game wasn’t supposed to be out yet, be punished, or should the retailer for releasing a anticipated title way to early. Either way, copies of ODST are floating around out there, so expect playthrough footage to be appearing over the “intenetz” very soon.

In the mean time, watch this clip from E3 of ODST, just to wet your appetite:
