Stolen from Xboxworld.com.au

Seems some naughty online shops have shipped their orders early and a lucky few are getting to spend their long weekend gaming up a storm (with no doubt a break for the dawn service of course).

EB games doesn't care about online stores selling early, they need a bricks and morter one to point fingers at when Rockstar gets pissy about them selling early too.

So anyone know of any other retailers operating by a non-gregorian calendar and selling their stock early?

Oh and gametraders at indro opened today but they lose points for employing some yahoo with a popped collar.

Don't a few retailers always break release dates? I'm not going to be worried about my playasia order taking till Monday-week or whatever because I have been waiting for this game since the dinosaurs.

Yeah, there's always a couple not afraid to face the distributors/publisher wrath and sell early. I remember few, going years back, like Toyworld selling Mario Sunshine 3 days early or that dodgy game store that use to be in queen street that broke the release date on half-life by a good week or so.

I'm just interested to know if any bricks and morters have sold early so eb can man up and clear out their stock rooms 5 days early.

heh looks like you can already download a pirated version of the game for xbox.
