They told him to wait till the release date.
yep the guy who owns the shop i got mine from had a call from some one half an hour after he sold it him and the guy said he was banned and blamed the store owner.... even tho the owner told him of the risks.
no such problem on ps3 tho ive been playing all day pretty much lol.
and as for ps3 and 360.... put it this way, ive had it on 360 for over a week now but i still went out and bought it for ps3 today. would i do that if i prefered it on 360?
lol traded 2x Overlord 2's in at Gamestation on friday and got £40 on a card, The games only cost me £10 each (and arrived on friday morning as well so were still sealed when I traded them lol)!! Now I just have to pay £4.99 on release day so a total of £24.99
I was Very lucky as right after I signed the "I have traded these in" receipt and was given the card one of the other workers came over and looked at the games and told him that head office told them not to accept 2 of the same game especially Overlord 2 due to Plays offer!!
yeah i was quite lucky, my gfs sisters bf (lol) wants it early so instead of paying £45 tomorrow he paid me £53 on sat even tho he wont get it off me till this afternoon lol but the hardened edition is £70 i think so im still gonna be out of pocket lol

I wondered if that was gonna work! Fair play for getting away with it!

Is there a difference between PS3 & 360?
Surely it's the same game so both should play the same way?

I think we were both referring to the in game graphics etc...

Again, why would the graphics be different unless Activision made 2 different games, which I honestly doubt they, or any one else would do..

The same game on different platforms will differ (all be it not by much) and some more than others.
COD4 on the PS3 compared to the Xbox does feel a bit different but i cant put my finger on why. And before you say it.. no.. i dont mean due to the game pads!
i just prefer the ps3 for online, its free and its alot less laggy then 360 the only thing thats missing is party chat but even that doesnt matter because i just mute everyone other the my friends on cod so its basically private chat. also the mics are so much clearer (good mics) its like talking on a phone, the 360 has always been muffled compared to the ps3.
also sony arent pathetic! xbox are suspending accounts because people managed to get an original copy early. why are they punishing people for that? its ridiculous!
also the ps3 pad is much nicer to use no rsi after hours of playing lol

Agree with all of what he said!
RSI for sure.. after a couple of hours playing Forza my trigger finger was killing!
Lol, I think the opposite about the pads. The PS one hasnt changed in all the years. Some will say "why change a winner" I say everything moves on, everything can get better. And it hasnt.
I think I'll be getting MW2 on 360 for 2 reasons alone, the pad and the online players. I hardly know anyone on PSN, I have friends but tbh, they're just people from here I barely know. All my actual mates are on XBL.

i only have 1 friend to play cod online with on ps3 lol and about 30 on 360 but it still didnt make me change my mind. just something about the ps3 makes it more fun, also the live bannings for legit copys really annoyed me as i usually get games a week or so early from my shop
my 360 has been banned - blatantly for playing MW2 a week early. Didnt play online, just single player but the lan cable was connected - doh! carelessness...
funny thing is that xbox has never been played online, not even once!
just the fact of being signed in and having the date stamp on my game save.
never mind, will pick up a ps3 version today from sainsburys and play online for free
