Breaking the Embargo

[mtoo22]

Is it okay once we have the game to release any videos and answer any questions. Didn't know if I would violate any TOS once I get it, should be by the end of the week. Any answer from the mods would be great! Thanks!

You are under no such embargo, as a consumer who bought the game with your own $$$.

The "embargo" only applies to those in fields who review the game. So IGN/OS/etc cannot spill the beans. However normal people who get the game early can show/tell whatever they want.

You have to confirm to a mod that you do indeed have the game (usually a pic of the box + disc) but once you've done that, yeah, they'll open an impressions thread and you can post whatever impressions you feel like posting. The only ones embargoed from giving info are those that signed an agreement with EA saying they wouldn't (called a Non-Disclosure Agreement or NDA).

I'm assuming we don't have to tell the mod how we got the game....if so that hampers my efforts..

Usually a picture of the game with a note of your user name next to it will suffice. You don't need to show a receipt.

Should be great

Just so a mod can answer for me, would my username/gamertag on a player during gameplay work??
