People alreadh=y have the game!

[syk_skillz]

Some people at GameFaq already have the game but how?

[Spitfire]

Yeah they work at Gamestop no doubt, or know someone who does. Same as Best Buy we get games like 2 weeks before release.

I'm sure they have connections of some sort, but new games aren't shipped to stores until the release date, so no store is just going to have them sitting around. I used to work at GameStop.

Um BS, we get games sometimes a month before. They TELL you that so you stop asking but that's not how it is. In reality everything has street dates and we just can't put it out yet. Violate the street date and they screw you on the next shipments. Happened to a few stores back when Halo 2 came out.

Same with DVDs, I had to see the beautiful Descent DVD sit there for 2 weeks before I could buy it.

Like I said, I worked at GameStop, so what I said had nothing to do with what anyone told me, it had to do with all the UPS deliveries I accepted on release dates. It could work differently for bigger stores (and certainly for bigger releases).

However, the Xbox 360 version of TMNT is up on bittorrent, so that could have to do with why there are screen shots showing up.

Sorry little aggressive there, but yeah I hear it's different at game stores so yeah that makes sense.

dude, that movie was God-awful.

Yeah, the game shipped out yesterday so stores will most likely have it today. But the game is street dated for the 20th, so it can't be sold until then.

I received a notice about the game from Amazon. It has been delayed by a week. I thought that online stores would be able to receive and ship the game out a week earlier than the stores. Did anyone else order it from Amazon and get the same message?

Where did you order from? Gamestop told me it was delayed until the 20th.
