(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So my friend works at Target and can get access to games early since her boss knows nothing about video games. She was able to get NBA 2K14 3 days before release.

Well I'm tempted to cancel my Gamestop preorder of COD Ghosts and just get it from her the Friday before November 5th. Downside to this is I wouldn't get the preorder bonus map. Although I think Target pre orders don't come with Free Fall. I also plan on being in line at 6am November 15th to get a PS4 since her store doesn't have midnight launch...I wouldn't dare think I could get that early of course lol.

My question is I know some of you guys have gotten games early including COD games, so can you get banned? I would imagine you wouldn't since the servers would be up and since IW doesn't really ban for anything honestly lol. I think no but her brother says you could get banned.

I would only get it early to really avoid having to wait in line plus not going to lie wouldn't mine getting to know the game early lol. Yes I am a douche. So what has happened to you all that have gotten previous COD games early and what's the earliest you have ever gotten your hands on a game?

Uk slight be getting it early this year, shopto wouldn't take pre orders now Royal Mail annouced a strike on the 4th and the same week shopto are taking orders now, tells me I may get the game on Saturday, No chance of anyone in the uk getting it on the Monday

Most of the time for preorder bonus you can pick them up on ebay etc, but nuke town last year it came out for everyone after a few months

It would be pretty stupid if they banned you because someone sold you the game early.

I don't care what anyone says, you can't get banned for playing games early, in early i mean actually having the retail/promo disc and if in the very rare chance you are banned you can prove you have it and aren't pirating it.

Do a barrel roll!
I highly doubt it, people were playing Black Ops 2 weeks before it was released and nothing happened.
