I thought u should know... If u live in the LA area, a small local shop named Gameplay on Venice broke street date and is currently selling them. When I was there last, I saw stacks of them in the back. There were a huge line of people waiting for them, fyi.

This will happen with any small chain store or mom and pop store especially. It happened with GH3, Halo, and Rockband. If you want it now, go to any local mom and pop store that sells video games and see if they will give it to you.

Often they will charge a small premium to have it a few days early.
 
BTW, they're not charging a premium, and usually small stores get shafted by the giants like Gamestop...

Hahaha, that's 5 minutes away from my office. What's this about people lined up for it, though? Has word spread through the Culver City ghetto grapevine already?
 
They are already on ebay with some ending in an hour or so, so they have been on there for atleast 23 hours.

Typical, especially since those people won't even get it until Saturday, IF that.
 
anyone know store hours or if they still have it in stock? (i can't get through, their phone line is busy)

edit: got one, it seems like they have plenty left too (i didn't reserve btw)

They have no recourse against the store. Now against the distributor, that's a whole different issue.
 
Well that, and since Sears broke street date LAST week, it provides for some sliding opportunities for stores like these. That and perhaps because this store is actually a small corp. that is based in Japan, I think their release date applies to them. I had a minor conversation about this with them, but not into too much detail.
 
Told my friend at UCLA about the deal and he literally went "OKAY" and was offline and out the door in a minute.

Meanwhile, I have to wait til tomorrow. ;(
 
I rented one for my brother who has a Wii, but I don't think he fully grasps the concept of getting it early, or it being an awesome game. I still don't think he's played it yet. He's in there playing Halo 2 campaign right now.

Got mine last night. Gameplay was about a half hour away but it was worth every second. This game is just absolutely amazing. Already logged over 12 hours on it.
